Investment

Roof Painting pricing and time

The cost and time of this project depends on a number of factors, including:

  • The size and pitch of your roof
  • Roof type - long-run, corrugated, tile or concrete
  • Extent of rust or corrosion
  • Amount of moss and lichen treatment required
  • Access and safety requirements
  • Number of coats required
  • Type of paint and coating system
  • Condition of flashings and fasteners

Because every home is different, we don't believe in giving you an unrealistic one-size-fits-all price and schedule.

Instead, we assess your project and provide a quote based on the actual work required.

Client Reviews

What Wellington clients say

★★★★★

Roof was rusting badly. Right Choice treated it properly and it's held up through two winters now.

David L.Miramar, Wellington
★★★★★

Long-run roof recoat on our steep-pitch roof. The crew were harnessed and safe the whole time, no shortcuts.

Sarah M.Khandallah, Wellington
★★★★★

Moss and lichen had taken over our roof. A full wash and two-coat charcoal finish transformed the whole house.

Priya R.Karori, Wellington
★★★★★

Our faded concrete tile roof was brought back to life. Didn't think it could look that good again.

James T.Island Bay, Wellington
★★★★★

Rust treatment and recoat on our long-run roof. Honest advice throughout - no upselling, just the work it needed.

Anna K.Johnsonville, Wellington
★★★★★

Roof recoat paired with fascia repair. One crew handled both, which saved us coordinating two separate trades.

FAQs

Common questions

How often should a roof be painted in Wellington?

Typically every 10 to 15 years. However, because Wellington experiences severe UV exposure, high winds and coastal salt spray, we recommend inspecting your roof every 5 years for signs of chalking, fading or rust.

Do you offer free roof painting quotes?

Yes. We provide a free consultation and personalised quote so you can understand the expected cost, scope and timeframe.

Do you clean the roof before painting?

Yes. We high-pressure water blast the surface to remove moss, lichen, dirt and loose paint. We then treat any remaining spores, convert and prime rust spots, and replace missing screws or damaged flashings prior to topcoating.

Can you paint over a rusted metal roof?

Yes, provided the rust is superficial. We wire-brush or grind away flaking rust, treat the affected area with an industrial rust converter, and apply a heavy-duty anti-corrosive primer before painting.

How do you handle Wellington's unpredictable weather during a job?

We monitor local forecasts constantly. Paint is never applied on wet surfaces or when rain is expected within the curing window. If unexpected weather strikes, we secure all equipment and resume as soon as conditions dry out.

What types of paint do you use for roof painting?

We exclusively use high-grade, New Zealand-proven roof coatings like Resene Roof Primer/Topcoats and Dulux InfraSPEED. These products offer superior UV protection, flexibility and rust resistance.

Is roof paint safe for properties with rainwater collection tanks?

Yes. We use drinking-water-safe, non-toxic acrylic membranes. During the washing and painting phases, we disconnect your downpipes to prevent contamination and reconnect them only after the paint has fully cured and passed inspection.

What safety measures do you take on steep or high roofs?

Safety is our top priority. Our team is certified in height safety and uses edge protection, scaffolding, harness systems or elevated work platforms in full compliance with regulations.

Can roof paint help lower my heating or cooling energy costs?

Yes. We offer solar-reflective heat-shield coatings designed to reflect infrared radiation. This reduces heat absorption in summer and helps regulate indoor temperatures.

How do you prevent paint overspray on my house, cars or neighbours' properties?

We carefully mask off skylights, chimneys and gables. On windy days, we adjust our application methods from spraying to traditional rolling or brushing to protect surrounding areas.

Can you change the colour of my roof to a completely different shade?

Absolutely. We can transition your roof from light to dark or vice versa. We offer colour matching to align with your home's joinery, gutters or council guidelines.

Do you clean up every day and after the roof painting is finished?

Yes. We keep the work area organised and carry out a basic clean-up at the end of each working day. Once the project is completed, we remove painting materials and rubbish and leave the surrounding work area as clean and tidy as practical.

Limited-Time Offer

Don't Delay!

Rust doesn't stay small. Left untreated, corrosion spreads under the surface and a simple recoat can turn into costly roof replacement.
