FAQ’s

Why is my roof paint peeling after just a few years?

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.

  • Annual inspections (look for cracks/dirt)

  • Gentle cleaning (soft brush, low-pressure water)

  • Trim overhanging branches (prevents moss)

Technically yes, but we don’t recommend it because:

  • Safety risks (falls, electrical hazards)

  • Shortened lifespan (DIY jobs often fail in 3–5 years)

  • No warranty

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

How long does the project take?
  • Small roofs (1,000 sq. ft.): 1–2 days

  • Large roofs (2,500+ sq. ft.): 3–4 days
    (Weather permitting)

Our 5-step process:

  1. Inspection (check for damage)

  2. Cleaning (pressure wash + moss removal)

  3. Repairs (fix cracks/flashing)

  4. Priming & Painting (2–3 coats)

  5. Final Check (ensure flawless finish)

Prices vary based on:

  • Roof size ($2–$5 per sq. ft. on average)

  • Material (metal costs less than tile)

  • Coating type (elastomeric vs. standard paint)

Example: A 1,500 sq. ft. roof costs $3,000–$7,500 with premium coatings.

Yes! Our coatings come with a 10–15 year warranty against peeling/fading.

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

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)

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).

Yes! Contact us for a no-obligation inspection and quote.
