Roof Restoration in Kapiti Coast

Inland Kapiti roofs in Waikanae and Otaki are often good restoration candidates. Beachside roofs need a closer look at the laps and edges first, where salt does its damage.

Roof Restoration on Kapiti Coast roofs

When we re-roof a beachside Kapiti home we specify the coating and fixings for the salt exposure. Inland homes in Waikanae or Otaki can often use a standard specification. Mixed roofs can be brought onto one consistent roof at the same time.

A roof that is faded, chalky or starting to show surface rust is not necessarily a roof that needs replacing. If the steel underneath is sound, a proper restoration can give it many more years.

Many Kapiti homes were built as beach houses and later extended, so we see mixed roofs, older iron next to newer additions, and junctions between them that need careful flashing.

BRANZ links regular washing and maintenance of painted metal roofs to achieving their expected durability. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)

What to look for

• The paint is faded, chalky or peeling but the steel is solid
• Surface rust is limited to laps, edges and fixings
• There are no holes, soft spots or widespread failed fixings

Every job follows the same steps: we look at the roof, photograph what we find, send a written quote, then send photos of the finished work. More about roof Restoration.
