Roof Restoration & Painting for Coastal WA Homes
Roof restoration and painting across Perth and the WA coast. Tile, metal and Colorbond roofs cleaned, repaired, sealed and recoated, for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Why coastal roofs need restoring sooner
A roof is the most exposed surface you own, and on the coast that exposure is harsher. Intense UV breaks down roof coatings and fades colour; salt accelerates corrosion on metal roofs and degrades surfaces; and the constant moisture-and-sun cycle, plus salt and humidity, feeds the moss and lichen that coastal roofs grow faster than inland ones. Tiles lose their glaze and grow porous, ridge capping cracks, metal roofs corrode and chalk. Restoration deals with all of it before you're forced into the far bigger expense of re-roofing.
How we restore a roof
Inspect
We assess the roof's condition, material, coating state, corrosion, cracked tiles or capping, and what's actually needed. Not every roof needs the full works.
Clean
Remove moss, lichen, grime, loose material and salt, done with the right method for the roof, not reckless high pressure that damages tiles and pointing.
Repair
Replace broken tiles, re-bed and re-point ridge capping, treat corrosion on metal, fix structural and surface faults before any coating goes on.
Seal and recoat
Apply the appropriate primer and coating system for the roof type and coastal exposure, restoring protection and finish.
How we work with you
Honest advice, not an upsell.
We tell you what your home actually needs, and what it doesn't. If something can wait, we'll say so. We'd rather build a long relationship than win one oversized job.
We treat the cause, not just the surface.
Most coastal problems come back because they were patched, not fixed. We work out what's actually driving the damage (salt, moisture, corrosion) and deal with that, so the repair lasts.
A proper look before any quote.
We assess your property in person before we put a number on anything. It's free, there's no obligation, and it's the only honest way to quote coastal work, because every home is exposed differently.
The coast is all we do.
We're not generalists who also do beach houses. Coastal salt, corrosion and weather are our entire focus, which is why we catch the things others miss.
Built for the coast.
Anyone can paint a wall or wash a house. The coast is different: salt gets into render, corrodes metal from the inside, and breaks down coatings from underneath, and it never stops. Treating coastal problems like inland ones is why so much work fails early.
Salt Coast exists for exactly this. We diagnose before we treat, use methods and materials suited to coastal exposure, and build ongoing maintenance relationships rather than one-off jobs. That's how a coastal home stays sound instead of lurching from one repair to the next.
Keep your home ahead of the coast, not chasing it.
You wait for paint to peel, render to bubble, metal to rust, then react to damage that's been spreading for months.
We catch it before it shows, while every fix is still small, cheap and quick, and you never lift a finger to manage it.
Fremantle based. Dawesville to Two Rocks.
We service the Western Australian coastal corridor from Dawesville in the south to Two Rocks in the north, from the beachfront to roughly 10km inland. Roof Restoration & Painting is available across the full service area.

FAQs
What does roof restoration involve?
Cleaning the roof of moss, lichen and grime; repairing faults (replacing broken tiles, re-bedding and re-pointing ridge capping, treating corrosion on metal); then sealing and recoating with a system suited to the roof type and coastal exposure. It restores both protection and appearance, for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Is it cheaper to restore or replace a roof?
Restoration is far cheaper, typically a fraction of the cost of a new roof, and most roofs that look past it are actually restorable. Replacement is only necessary when the structure or material has genuinely failed, not just because the roof looks tired or stained. An honest inspection tells you which situation you're in.
Can you restore tile, metal and Colorbond roofs?
Yes, all three, though each is treated differently. Tile roofs, terracotta and concrete tiles, are cleaned, repaired (tiles and ridge capping) and recoated; metal and Colorbond roofs are cleaned, have any corrosion treated, then recoated with a coastal-suitable system. The right approach depends on the material and its condition.
Whether Colorbond can be repainted, and how it's done properly
Why do coastal roofs need restoring sooner than inland ones?
Roofs are the most exposed surface on a home, and the coast adds salt and humidity to the usual UV and weather. Salt accelerates corrosion on metal, the moisture-and-salt environment grows moss and lichen faster, and intense UV breaks coatings down. So coastal roofs reach the point of needing restoration sooner than equivalent inland ones.
Why coastal roofs grow moss and lichen, and how to remove it safely
Will cleaning my roof damage it?
Not when it's done correctly. Roofs are cleaned with the right method for the material, not reckless high pressure, which can dislodge tiles, crack pointing and strip protective surfaces. Proper roof cleaning removes moss, lichen and salt without that damage, and it's an essential first step before any recoating.
