Roof-Revive™ roof restoration and recoating for painted metal roofs

Roof restoration, where appropriate

Roof-Revive™ can be a cost-effective restoration option for structurally sound painted metal roofs with a faded, weathered, or chalking finish.

Roof coating only works when the roof is ready for it

Roof coating can be a good option for aged roofs that are structurally sound and only require remedial repairs, particularly where improved presentation is also a priority.

The key to making the right decision is to consider all available options. Not every roof should be coated. Some roofs are better suited to cleaning, tile sealing, repairs, or full replacement, depending on age, material, previous coatings, and the condition of the substrate.

Edwards & Hardy can provide property owners with cleaning, repair, coating, and replacement options tailored to their needs.

Our RoofGuard® Coating Assessment Approach

A roof coating is not just about the finish. It requires confirming that coating is the right solution and properly preparing the surface before the work begins.

Inspection-Led Advice
Any required roof repairs will be identified and quoted separately before the work starts.
Long-Term Thinking
Our team focuses on practical outcomes that protect the roof and avoid unnecessary spending on the wrong scope of work.
Preparation Matters
Successful coating work depends on proper cleaning, preparation, and repair of defects before application begins.
Restore Presentation
A fresh coating can improve the presentation and finish of a tired roof when the substrate remains serviceable.

Before and After

See the difference a quality coating can make

Roof coating is as much about preparation as it is about the finish coat itself. When the roof is suitable to coat and the surface has been properly prepared, the difference in presentation and protection can be substantial.

What is typically included
The exact scope of work depends on the location of the property, roof type, access considerations, and the condition of the roof, but coating work generally involves the following steps.
  • Initial evaluation and roof suitability assessment.
  • Preparation and planning based on the roof location, type, condition, and coating history.
  • Remedial repairs are identified and undertaken prior to coating.
  • Pre-coating cleaning and substrate preparation.
  • Application of the coating in accordance with the scope of work.
  • Final visual review and practical maintenance guidance.

Coating is not always the best fit. These services may be more appropriate depending on what the inspection finds.

RoofGuard® TileSeal Protection

For suitable masonry tile roofs, TileSeal® can be a lower-cost protective treatment option where a full coating may not be necessary.

Roof Replacement

If the roof has reached the point where restoration no longer makes sense, replacement can provide a more durable and economical long-term outcome.

RoofGuard® Coating process

Evaluation, preparation, coating, and review

Good coating outcomes depend on applying the right scope of work for the roof condition.

01
Roof Inspection & Coating Suitability Review

We evaluate the roof type, substrate condition, repair history, and previous coatings before providing a coating quote.

02
Repairs, Cleaning & Preparation

Any roof repairs will be quoted separately before the work starts. The roof will then be treatment cleaned and the surface prepared for the coating.

03
Coating Application

RoofGuard™ Primer is applied to enhance the durability of the coating, followed by two coats of RoofGuard™ TopCoat for maximum protection.

Questions

Roof Coating Frequently Asked Questions

The right answer depends on the roof. These are the questions we most often work through before recommending coating.

This starts with an evaluation. We look at the location of the property, roof type, access considerations, and the age and condition of the roof. If we do not believe coating is the right option, we will say so and recommend an alternative option.
