Common causes:
Poor prep work (dirt or old paint wasn’t removed)
Low-quality paint (not formulated for roofs)
Humidity during application
Solution: Hire a pro like Archer Roof Painting—we guarantee proper prep & materials.
How do I maintain my newly painted roof?
Annual inspections (look for cracks/dirt)
Gentle cleaning (soft brush, low-pressure water)
Trim overhanging branches (prevents moss)
Can I paint my roof myself?

Costs & Process
What is roof painting, and why is it important?
Roof painting involves applying specialized protective coatings to your roof to:
✔ Extend its lifespan
✔ Improve energy efficiency (reflects heat)
✔ Enhance curb appeal
✔ Prevent leaks and weather damage
How often should I repaint my roof?
Most roofs need repainting every 8–12 years, depending on:
Climate (harsh sun/rain = more frequent repaints)
Paint quality (elastomeric lasts longer than acrylic)
Roof material (metal vs. tile vs. concrete)
Can you paint over an old roof, or does it need replacement?
We inspect first, but in most cases: Yes! If your roof is structurally sound, we can:
Clean & repair it
Apply high-adhesion primer
Paint with long-lasting coatings
❌ No if there’s major rot/decay (we’ll advise on replacement).
