Roof Painting Vancouver

Metal Roof Painting

Concrete tile roof coating handles fading and minor surface degradation. Concrete tiles from the 1960s-1990s often fade dramatically by year 25 but the tile substrate is still structurally sound. We pressure-wash, treat any moss or algae with bleach solution, prime with concrete primer, two coats of Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP elastomeric. Tiles look new again at 1/4 the cost of replacement.

• Full repaints: walls, ceilings, trim, doors
• Feature walls in charcoal, navy, or deep sage
• Precise cut lines around floor-to-ceiling glass
• Low-VOC products only, smell matters in condos
• Full surface protection before anything opens

Asphalt shingle roofs cannot be pressure-painted but can be soft-washed and treated with moss control. We use a 1.5 GPM low-pressure pump with sodium hypochlorite solution to kill moss and algae chemically. For shingle roofs that need colour refresh, we use ROOF MAXX rejuvenator (not paint, a soybean-oil-based rejuvenator that extends shingle life 5-10 years).

Concrete Tile Roof Coating

Flat roof and membrane roof repaint is for low-slope roofs with EPDM, TPO, or torch-on membrane. Coating refresh extends membrane life and improves reflectivity. We use Henry 587 elastomeric or GAF Liquid Rubber depending on membrane type. White-coloured coatings reflect heat and reduce attic temperatures by 10-15F in summer.

• Modern neutrals that photograph well
• Fix scuffs, marks, and wear before listing
• Show-ready finish on schedule
• Often combined with drywall repair for best results

Vancouver homeowners hire us for roof painting because most painters do not have the equipment, certification, or insurance for roof work.

Asphalt Shingle Soft-Wash & Coating

We use roof-specific acrylic and elastomeric coatings only, never general-purpose exterior paint. Sherwin-Williams Metalatex Smooth Coating for metal. Loxon XP elastomeric for concrete tile. ROOF MAXX rejuvenator for asphalt shingles. Henry 587 or GAF Liquid Rubber for flat roof membranes. Each substrate needs its own product.

• Careful cutting-in around exposed brick without masking it
• High ceiling work with proper scaffolding where needed
• Industrial aesthetic preserved while modernizing paint

Roof access for paint work uses scaffolding for one-storey, scissor lift or boom lift for two-storey, roof harness and safety lines for steeper pitches. Three crew members minimum on any roof job with one ground spotter. OSHA-style fall protection on every job.

Flat Roof & Membrane Repaint

Pre-1978 Vancouver homes commonly have lead in original roof paint (especially on metal flashing and gutters). We test before quoting if original paint is exposed. Plastic containment, HEPA vacuum, wet sanding only. Required by law on any roof work that disturbs lead paint.

• Contractor coordination on timeline
• Designer colour matching if needed
• Premium finishes that match renovation quality
• Clean execution that doesnt undo the contractors work
