Nothing changes the look of a house faster than a properly painted roof — and nothing fails faster than paint thrown over dirt and rust. ER Roof Restorations repaints tiled and metal roofs across Pretoria the right way: high-pressure cleaning, repairs and priming first, then UV-resistant roof coatings applied at the correct spread rate.

What does roof painting cost in Pretoria?
Roof painting in South Africa is priced per square metre, and the honest answer is that the condition of your roof matters more than its size. A sound roof that needs cleaning and two coats costs less per m² than one needing rust treatment, tile repairs or extensive priming. [Rowan to confirm: typical per-m² range and what drives it up or down.] We measure and inspect on site, then give you one itemised figure in writing — no surprises on the invoice.
How is a roof repaint done properly?
Four stages, no shortcuts: high-pressure cleaning to strip dirt, lichen and flaking paint; repairs — cracked tiles replaced, ridge mortar patched, rust treated and sealed; priming suited to the surface; then the coating itself, applied in the correct number of coats at the correct spread rate. Skipping any stage is why cheap roof paint jobs peel within two seasons.
Which roof paint colours work best?
Charcoal, terracotta and deep red remain the most popular roof colours in Pretoria, and lighter colours reflect more heat in summer. We bring colour cards to the inspection and can match your existing colour or complex requirements — body corporates often need an exact match to the approved scheme.
Frequently asked questions
How long does roof painting take?
A typical free-standing home takes a few days depending on roof size, condition and weather. [Rowan to confirm: typical duration for ±200 m².] We work weather-permitting — coatings need dry conditions to cure properly.
Do you paint metal and corrugated roofs?
Yes. Metal roofs are first treated for rust, loose fasteners are replaced, and the correct etch primer is applied before coating — the step most failed metal-roof paint jobs skipped.
Is painting enough, or does my roof need restoration?
Paint protects a sound roof; it does not fix a broken one. If our inspection finds leaks, failed waterproofing or widespread damage, we quote the repair work separately and honestly before any painting is done.
Do you do house painting as well?
Yes — interior, exterior and industrial painting are part of ER’s services. Many clients combine a roof repaint with exterior walls for a complete refresh in one project.
