A roof paint job is only as good as the prep underneath
Most roof paint jobs fail because the surface wasn't prepared properly. Loose pointing, missed moss, poor primer coverage — these are the things that cause flaking, fading and fast deterioration. At Elite Roofing, we treat painting as the *final step* of restoration, not a quick coat. Every roof is pressure-washed, treated for moss and lichen, repaired where needed, and primed properly before a single drop of topcoat goes on.
What We Do
Our roof painting service covers both tiled roofs and Colorbond/metal roofs. Each project includes high-pressure cleaning, full moss and lichen treatment, repair of any cracked tiles or damaged sections, application of a sealant primer, and two coats of premium-grade Dulux Acratex membrane paint. The result is a finish that protects the roof, lifts the look of the home, and lasts.
Why Dulux Acratex?
Dulux Acratex is the industry-leading roof coating in Australia. Specifically engineered for harsh Australian sun, rain, and temperature swings, it bonds properly to both tile and metal substrates, resists UV degradation, and comes with a manufacturer's warranty that cheaper paints simply can't match. We use Acratex on every job — no exceptions.
The Colour Range
Dulux Acratex tile colours include: Off White, Storm, Pearl, Merino, Mid Grey, Light Grey, Dark Grey, Charcoal, Mist Green, Rivergum, Brunswick Green, Clay Brick, Heritage Red, Tuscan, and Terracotta. For Colorbond restoration we work in the full Colorbond range — Monument, Basalt, Windspray, Shale Grey, Paperbark, Jasper, Dune, Surfmist, Manor Red, Terrain, Headland, Cottage Green, Pale Eucalypt, and Mangrove. Not sure what suits your home? We'll help you choose.
Our Process
Every roof painting job follows the same proven sequence. First we inspect the roof and quote honestly — if it needs repairs before paint, we'll tell you. Then we pressure-wash thoroughly and apply moss treatment. Cracked tiles get replaced, ridge caps get re-bedded and pointed where needed, then we apply a bonding primer. Once that's dry, two coats of Acratex membrane finish. Total time on site is usually 2–4 days depending on roof size and weather.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof paint job last?
When prep is done properly and premium paint is used, a Dulux Acratex roof coating lasts 10–15 years or more. Cheaper paints applied over poor prep can fail within 2–3 years.
Can you paint a terracotta tile roof?
Terracotta tiles can't be painted directly because the surface is glazed. We can pressure-wash and treat terracotta tiles to restore their natural look, but they can't be coated like concrete tiles can.
Do I need to do anything to prepare?
Just clear access around the house and move any outdoor furniture or cars away from the work area. We handle everything else — including covering windows, plants, and outdoor surfaces.
How long after washing can you paint?
The roof needs to be fully dry before paint goes on — usually 24–48 hours after washing, longer in cooler weather. We never rush this step.
