About Roof Painting
Choosing the right roof paint? How Does it Work?
Step 01 - ROOF INSPECTION & MATERIAL ASSESSMENT
The first step starts with Lee carefully inspecting your roof from top to bottom. We evaluate the current condition of your roof tiles, metal sheeting, or shingles, checking for signs of loose material, underlying leaks, or organic growth. This in-depth assessment allows us to determine the exact preparation needed and which specialized roof coating will provide the best long-term protection and performance for your specific roofing material.
Step 02 - SURFACE PREPARATION & CLEANING
Proper adhesion starts with a completely clean surface. We employ professional-grade pressure washing equipment combined with eco-friendly, non-corrosive cleaning agents to remove accumulated dirt, moss, lichen, and algae. We also carefully scrape away any loose, flaking paint to ensure the new coating bonds directly and permanently to the clean, sound substrate beneath.
Step 03 - CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROOF COATING
Not all roof paints are created equal. Planet Painting works with premium elastomeric, acrylic, and heat-reflective coatings. We guide you through your options based on your climate and color preferences. For example, we highly recommend specialized solar-reflective paints that bounce UV rays away from your home, significantly reducing attic heat and lowering your energy bills during summer months.
Step 04 - PRIMING & PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION
Before the main coat is applied, we seal the surface with a high-grade, weather-resistant primer. This ensures maximum adhesion and prevents rust or moisture from penetrating the underlying metal or concrete. Using heavy-duty rollers, brushes, and spray rigs, the Planet Painting crew then applies two professional coats of your chosen roof paint, ensuring entirely even coverage with no missed spots, drips, or holidays.
Step 05 - FINAL INSPECTION & PROJECT CLEANUP
After the paint dries, Lee performs a detailed final quality inspection. We walk across the entire roof to check for uniform coverage, ensure all edges and flashings are properly sealed, and confirm that the finish meets Planet Painting's strict quality standards. When you are completely satisfied, we safely pack up our equipment, perform a thorough cleanup of your property, and leave you with a rejuvenated, protected, and beautiful roof.
