How much does a roof restoration cost?
If you’re reading this, your roof might be looking a bit tired, or you’ve noticed some cracked tiles and leaking ridge caps. Roof restoration is one of the best investments you can make in your Adelaide home to protect it from our harsh summers and winter southerlies.
On average, a full roof restoration in Adelaide costs between $3,500 and $6,500, depending on the size of your roof, the condition of the tiles, and the amount of prep work required.
Breakdown of Average Costs
- Roof Inspection & Quote Free
- High-Pressure Roof Cleaning $1500 - $3,500
- Re-pointing Ridge Caps $1500 - $5,500
- Tile Replacement (per tile) $50 - $80
- Roof Painting (2 coats) $3,500 - $7,000
Why do quotes vary so much?
1. Roof Size & Pitch: A standard 3-bedroom Salisbury home is cheaper to restore than a double-story Mawson Lakes property with a steep pitch. Higher roofs require more safety equipment and scaffolding.
2. Current Condition: If your roof has severe moss buildup, cracked bedding under the ridge caps, or broken tiles, the prep work takes longer, which increases the cost.
3. Access: If your home has tight side access or tricky landscaping, the roofer may need to use different equipment to get their pressure cleaner up there safely.
Don't get ripped off.
The biggest trap homeowners fall into is hiring a "backpacker with a brush" who sprays cheap paint over dirt. Within 12 months, it peels off, and you're back to square one.
