Roof painting is more than aesthetics — it's a protective barrier against Melbourne's harsh UV, rain, and temperature extremes. We apply industrial-grade roof coatings from brands like Dulux AcraTex and Shieldcoat to both terracotta and concrete tile roofs. Whether you want to refresh your existing colour or completely transform your home's appearance, our two-coat membrane system seals and protects for 10–15 years.
Not all roof paints are equal. We only use professional-grade, manufacturer-accredited coating systems — never hardware-store products. Here's what we offer and why:
Australia's leading roof coating system. AcraTex is a flexible acrylic membrane that bridges hairline cracks and provides a seamless, waterproof barrier. Available in a full colour range including the InfraCOOL heat-reflective series. Backed by Dulux's product warranty when applied by an accredited applicator.
A premium Australian-made alternative with excellent durability in Melbourne's climate. Shieldcoat products are specifically formulated for terracotta and concrete tile roofs, with superior adhesion properties and chemical resistance. Their RoofGuard and TileFlex systems are designed for Australian conditions.
As accredited applicators for both Dulux and Shieldcoat, we follow manufacturer specifications precisely. This ensures your coating performs as intended and your warranties remain valid.
Roof painting costs depend on the size and condition of your roof, the coating system chosen, and the amount of preparation work needed. Here's a transparent pricing guide:
| Roof Size / Scenario | Typical Cost | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Small roof (up to 150m²) | $3,000–$5,500 | Prep, prime, 2 coats standard |

Your roof colour affects your home's entire street appeal. Here are the most popular choices among our Melbourne customers, and some guidance on choosing the right shade:
Melbourne's #1 choice. Works with brick, render, and weatherboard. Modern and timeless.
Deep charcoal. Popular on contemporary homes and renovations. Pairs well with light facades.
Warm dark grey. Softer than Monument. Complements both warm and cool exteriors.
We offer a free colour consultation where we can show you how different colours look on your roof type. Darker colours absorb more heat — if energy efficiency is important, consider a heat-reflective coating in your chosen colour.

Every tile surface is high-pressure cleaned, treated for moss and lichen, and primed to ensure maximum adhesion and coating longevity.
The first membrane coat is spray-applied evenly across your entire roof, filling micro-cracks and creating a sealed, weather-resistant base layer.
A second coat is applied for full coverage and UV protection, followed by a thorough quality inspection to ensure a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Roof painting in Melbourne typically costs between $3,000 and $12,000 depending on roof size, condition, and the coating system chosen. This includes surface preparation, priming, and two coats of premium Dulux AcraTex or Shieldcoat membrane. Larger or steeper roofs and those requiring extensive prep work will be at the higher end. We provide a free inspection and detailed quote.
Quality roof coatings from Dulux AcraTex and Shieldcoat last 10 to 15 years when properly applied. Cheap hardware-store roof paints may only last 3–5 years. The longevity depends on the coating quality, surface preparation, number of coats, and environmental factors like UV exposure and tree cover. Our two-coat membrane system is backed by manufacturer product warranties.
Yes, you can choose any colour from the full Dulux or Shieldcoat range. Changing your roof colour is one of the fastest ways to transform your home's street appeal. Popular choices in Melbourne include Woodland Grey, Monument, Basalt, and Manor Red. We offer a free colour consultation and can show you how different shades will look on your roof.
Yes, we paint both terracotta and concrete tile roofs. Each tile type requires specific primers and preparation techniques for proper adhesion. Terracotta tiles need a bonding primer designed for glazed surfaces, while concrete tiles require a different preparation approach. Our coatings are formulated for Australian tile roofs and have been tested in Melbourne's climate.
Heat-reflective roof coatings contain special pigments that reflect solar radiation, reducing roof surface temperatures by up to 10–15°C. This keeps your home cooler in summer and can reduce air conditioning costs. They're available in a range of colours — you don't have to choose white to get the reflective benefit. Dulux AcraTex InfraCOOL and Shieldcoat both offer heat-reflective options.
Roof painting typically takes 2 to 4 working days for an average Melbourne home. Day one covers high-pressure cleaning and surface preparation, day two is priming and the first coat, and day three is the final coat and inspection. Larger roofs or those needing extensive repairs may take an extra day or two. We work around weather and keep you informed of the schedule.
