Three reasons to paint your roof

Painting your roof supports its longevity and protects the materials it makes up. Read on to learn about the top three reasons.

PREVENTION

A money saver

The area you live in and the environment around you could cause mold, mildew, and lichen to form. If your home is near the sea, it has more salt exposure which may cause rusting and damage to your roof's framing. A fresh coat of paint can help prevent cracks and leaks that an otherwise unchecked roof may have. Painting your roof can save you money that would otherwise be spent repairing or replacing your roof.

AESTHETICS

From dull to adoring

Painting your roof is one of the quickest ways to enhance the look of your home's exterior. If you're looking to sell your home, a fresh coat of paint can make the difference between a dull-looking exterior or a beautiful-looking home that has been well-maintained.

PROTECTION

The white roof movement

Scientific research concludes that a white roof is better for the planet than a darker roof. Just as we feel cool when we wear lighter colours outside in warm weather, the light colour of your roof reduces the heat build-up in your city and your home. Choosing to lighten up your roof colour means you are adding an esthetically beautiful look to your home and neighbourhood while keeping the health of your environment in mind.
