Roof Painting for Cape Town CBD homes & businesses
Most roofs we see in Cape Town CBD are 15 to 30 years old. They're structurally fine, but the coating has chalked, faded or started to rust. A proper repaint adds years of life for a fraction of the cost of re-roofing.
Offices, retail and heritage buildings in the CBD need commercial painting planned around trading hours. Salt-laden air and the south-easter are hard on paint and steel, so coatings need to be marine-grade and properly primed.
Our roof painting service
A roof repaint is one of the best-value upgrades you can make. It protects the sheeting or tiles underneath, stops leaks before they start and completely changes how your home looks from the street. We start with a full inspection, then high-pressure clean, treat any rust back to sound metal, replace cracked tiles or loose screws, re-point ridges and seal flashings. Only then do we apply a primer and two coats of UV-stable roof paint, by spray or roller depending on the roof. We work with trusted brands and explain the system we're using before we start, so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Roof Painting FAQs
How long does a roof paint job last?
With proper preparation and a quality system, a painted roof typically lasts 8 to 12 years in Cape conditions. Coastal homes may need a touch-up sooner.
Can you paint a rusted IBR or corrugated roof?
Yes. We grind or wire-brush rust back, apply a rust converter and anti-corrosive primer, then top-coat. Sheets that are rusted through are replaced first.
What's the best time of year to paint a roof in Cape Town?
Spring through autumn (roughly September to April) is ideal, but we work year-round and schedule around the weather.
