What we do here
The work we are called out for in Aurora.
Established homes, mature trees, older roofs
Aurora has settled, well kept homes with a lot of established garden around them. That shade is lovely to live under and hard on a roof. Leaves sit in valleys and gutters, the surface stays wet longer after rain, and moss takes hold on the south facing pitch.
On a tiled roof that means the coating fails from the top down long before the tile does. On an older metal roof it means rust starting at the fastener and under the overlap where nobody looks.
What we do differently here
We clean and inspect before we specify. Ridges get checked and re-bedded where they need it, fasteners get replaced rather than painted over, and only then does a coating go on.
Anything less and you are paying for a colour change that will look tired again in two winters.
