FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why would I need a new roof?
+

It can enhance the appearance of your home, bring it back up to the current building code, and add value to your home. In our New Zealand climate, a roof without maintenance will last about 25 years. With correct maintenance and upkeep, it’ll last a bit longer.

 

 

When is the best time to get a moss treatment?
+

The best time to treat roof moss is when it is actively growing. Moss grows very little in warm temperatures but thrives during the colder seasons, during autumn showers, mild winters, and early spring. Administering treatment just before the peak of autumn rainfall ensures ideal conditions for effective roof moss control.

How do I know if I need a protective coating?
+

If you’ve got a concrete tile, corrugated tile, asphalt shingle or slate roof, a protective coating is more cost-effective than replacing the roof. This coating will help give your roof longevity and help it last another 25 years. We offer warranties for protective coatings for 10- 15 years.

What is a seamless membrane?

We apply this to existing substrates. It is a liquid, two-part epoxy, sometimes applied with wire mesh. This gives your roof a warranty of 10 – 25 years.
