Roof painting is a critical maintenance priority for Hermanus homeowners. Walker Bay's coastal conditions - UV, salt air, winter rain and the biological growth typical of the humid coastal environment - mean that Hermanus roofs typically need repainting every four to seven years. Delaying beyond this point risks water ingress and expensive structural damage.
Signs Your Roof Needs Attention
Significant fading and colour loss, algae and lichen growth especially on south and west-facing slopes, chalking when tiles are brushed, porous tiles that absorb water immediately, and visible cracking are all signs that your Hermanus roof needs painting. Don't wait for water ingress.
The Correct Process
High-pressure wash, fungicidal treatment (essential in the coastal environment), tile repair, penetrating sealer and two quality topcoats. The fungicidal treatment step is non-negotiable in Hermanus - biological growth returns through new paint within one season if not properly killed beforehand.
