Should you paint your roof, or is it best left alone? The answer to this question can be complicated, especially when a budget is involved! Of course, most roofs can be painted any colour and in any finish, but this isn’t always a cheap and easy process. Still, it’s important that you can renovate your New Zealand home in any way you wish – and this is where our advice at Markus and the Brothers becomes important.
Read on for more information about the cost considerations involved in painting your roof, and how to stick to budget.
How much does it cost to paint a roof in New Zealand?
The average cost of painting a roof in New Zealand varies between $2000 to $7000 – a sizable sum of money. This can vary depending on the size of your roof, the complexity of the paint job, and the specific type of paint that you’ve chosen. Nevertheless, it’s clear that this job might require some household budgeting!
When it comes to navigating a budget for a roof painting job, here are some important cost considerations to take into account:
- The Roof Size
- The Type of Roof Material
- The Condition of Your Roof
- The Quality of The Paint
- The Safety Requirements of the Job
If you require scaffolding for your roof, you’d like UV-resistant paint, or your roof is a material that requires specific preparation before being painted, all of these factors can greatly increase the final price of your roof painting job. Always ask for a quote from multiple contractors, and decide on an affordable budget from there!
At Markus and the Brothers, we’d specifically advise following these budget tips in order to meet the budget that your dream roof painting project requires:
- Choose The Right Time For Your Project
You save a lot of money if you plan your roof painting job at the right time. For example, when it’s guaranteed to be dry and sunny outdoors for at least a week! This avoids costly delays and damage, as paint can run during periods of excessive rainfall.
- Plan For Additional Costs
Even if your budget is small, always include a contingency budget for unexpected expenses. Your roofing might need repaired on the go as the job is being carried out, or you might run out of paint! Following the rule that ‘it’s always better to be safe than sorry’ is a good idea when a roofing project is involved.
- Ensure A Quote Includes All Aspects Of The Job
Your quote should include the surface preparation of your roof, any necessary repairs, painting and clean-up afterwards. If it doesn’t, you won’t be able to budget for your roof painting project correctly, and these projects are certainly a worthwhile investment in the long-term.
