Roof Painting in Port Arthur — Colorbond, Metal & Tile
Taylors House Painting provides professional roof painting services in Port Arthur and the surrounding Tasman Peninsula area. Whether you have an ageing Colorbond roof showing signs of rust, or tile roofing that's seen better days, we can assess the condition of your roof and give you an honest quote on what it will take to restore it.
Properties around Port Arthur are exposed to the full force of the Southern Ocean weather. UV, salt air and driving rain all accelerate roof wear in this area — professional preparation and high-grade coating is essential for a lasting result.
Our Roof Painting Process in Port Arthur
We follow the same thorough, multi-step process on every roof we paint — regardless of location. Here's what's involved:
- Roof inspection and condition assessment — We walk the roof and identify rust, loose fixings, cracked tiles, and any issues that need addressing before painting.
- Screw tightening and replacement — On Colorbond and metal roofs, every screw is checked. Loose or corroded screws are tightened or replaced to keep the roof weathertight.
- Pressure washing and chemical clean where needed — We pressure wash to remove dirt, lichen, moss and chalking paint, and apply mild cleaning chemicals on stubborn grime where needed — ensuring a completely clean surface for the new coat.
- Rust treatment with Ferronite Rust Converter — A tannin-based converter that chemically neutralises rust and acts as a primer, stopping corrosion at the source before we paint.
- Priming bare and treated surfaces — Proper primer application ensures long-term adhesion and performance of the topcoat.
- Professional-grade roof coating — We apply an elastomeric roofing paint suited to your roof type — providing UV resistance, water repellency and lasting colour.
Colorbond & Metal Roof Painting in Port Arthur
Metal and Colorbond roofs are durable but they do rust over time, especially in coastal areas. Once rust takes hold, it spreads — and if left untreated, it can work through the metal and cause leaks. Our Ferronite rust treatment process converts existing rust chemically rather than just painting over it, giving the new coating a stable foundation and significantly extending the life of your roof.
Tile Roof Painting in Port Arthur
Terracotta and concrete tile roofs become porous over time and can harbour moss, lichen and moisture. A thorough pressure wash followed by a quality tile roof membrane coating seals the surface, brings the colour back to life and protects against further weathering. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to add value and improve the appearance of an older home.
