Expert Roof Painting Melbourne
Roof painting in Melbourne takes a lot of preparation and not like most other painting work. This is especially for those roofs that do not get exposed to the elements and pollution like lichen and moss.
It requires knowledge and special care when it comes to preparing for roof painting Melbourne. The initial step taken is to determine whether working on the roof can be done safely. This will protect our painters from falls and other injuries and ensure that the work goes on well.
After the safety systems are established, then we check the roof thoroughly to ensure that it is strong and sound. In the process, we will replace sheets or tiles, replace old screws and flashing and then go ahead and pressure wash the roof. Now that the roof is clean, we tape off and mask all areas of the roof and other areas that are not to be painted. Though this is a painstaking task, it is necessary to avoid painting over-cladding, gutters, bricks and other parts that are not intended to be painted.
Once the roof is clean and taped up, it is time to start applying the undercoat to the roof. There are certain climatic conditions that should be adhered to before applying paint to the roof. If you do not stick to these guidelines, then it will shorten the product’s lifespan.
The application of paint is made with an airless sprayer, and it varies in quality and cost. A good skill set is needed to apply roof paint. At Quest Paintings, we use the best of airless sprayers that are op-erated by skilled painters that have many years of experience in painting roofs in Melbourne.
