There are multiple types of damages that can take place on the roof of your space, that require urgent attention. This includes blocked gutters, nests and gaps under eaves, damaged flashing around sils and vents, cracked tiles, rusted valley irons, & dislodged and broken ridge tiles. If your residential roofing or commercial roofing shows hints of any of these damages, it is a sure sign that your roof needs to undergo roof restoration.

Roofs are also susceptible to algae, mould, & lichen. The environmental conditions around your property and shape & type of roof highly influence the type of damage that takes place on it. White or lighter roofs are generally cooler than darker colored ones. This is a driving factor for people to choose lighter colored roofs. However, lighter colored roofs come with their own set of problems. Less heat on the roof provides an environment for dew to condense more easily, leaving the roof damper for longer hours. Such a condition is what often leads to algae, mould, or lichen, especially in the nose of a tile. Additionally, pollen, tree resins, possums, soot, windblown dust, automotive pollution, etc. can also further encourage algae, mould, or lichen. Areas of the roof that are shaded, have disrupted air flow, remain damp for longer time periods, and have underlying heat sinks are more susceptible to these issues.

Regardless of your roof type, we at DGA Roofing suggest that you keep a check on your roof from time to time to look out for signs of damage early on, so that you can undertake roof restoration before the condition gets bad. The PDF ‘Care and Maintenance Guide’ below has detailed information on prevention and treatment techniques.

A restored roof is particularly important to maintain, as it will boost the curb appeal and value of your home, provide you with peace of mind for strong weather seasons, help save energy by preventing the absorption of unwanted heat and increase the overall lifespan of your roof. However, it is important to entrust this job to an accredited roof contractor. 

Our expert team of Commercial Roofing Contractors and Residential Roof Contractors  can be entrusted with your roof restoration needs, and can cater to practically every roof type: Metal roof restoration, tile roof restoration, terracotta roofing, colorbond roofing, tin roofing, concrete roofing and corrugated roofing. 

DGA roof restorations entail a methodical approach to ensure that the roof looks brand new after completion. We replace all broken tiles, high pressure clean the entire roof, re-bed and re-point all ridges / hips and then apply high quality DULUX premium paints. While restoring metal roofs, we always ensure that the surface is thoroughly cleaned and appropriate and correct primers or undercoats are first applied to ensure adhesion.
