Ready to Restore Your Roof?
Our roof colour visualisers are a useful starting point, but every roof and every home is different.
If you are considering restoring or re-spraying your roof, Deadshort Services can arrange an on-site inspection of your property. We can assess the condition of the existing roof, identify any repairs that should be completed, discuss suitable restoration options and provide a quote for the proposed work.
During the inspection we can look at issues such as cracked or damaged tiles, deteriorated ridge capping, failed pointing, roof leaks, flashing problems, valleys, gutters and other areas that may need attention before a roof restoration or re-spraying project begins.
We can also discuss the roof colours you are considering and how they may work with the existing brickwork, render, gutters, fascia and other exterior finishes on your home.

Roof Repairs Before Roof Restoration
A roof restoration should not simply cover over existing roofing problems.
Before restoration work begins, it is important to identify faults that may be allowing water into the roof or affecting its condition. Depending on the property, this may include broken or displaced tiles, deteriorated ridge capping, damaged flashing, leaking valleys or other roof defects.
Deadshort Services takes a repair-first approach. We assess the roof and explain what repairs are required before recommending broader restoration work.

Roof Restoration Adelaide
If your tiled roof is structurally suitable for restoration, a roof restoration can help improve its condition and significantly update the appearance of the home.
The work required will depend on the existing roof, but a restoration may involve cleaning the roof, replacing damaged tiles, repairing ridge capping and pointing, completing other necessary roof repairs and preparing the surface before a suitable roof coating system is applied.
Changing the roof colour can also give an older property a very different appearance without replacing the entire tiled roof.
Learn more about our roof restoration Adelaide services.
Roof Re-Spraying Adelaide
If the existing roof is suitable, roof re-spraying can provide an opportunity to refresh the current roof colour or change to an entirely different colour.
That could mean moving from an older red or brown roof to a contemporary Monument®, Basalt® or Woodland Grey® appearance, or choosing a lighter colour such as Surfmist®, Shale Grey®, Dune® or Paperbark®.
The visualisers above can help you compare some of these options, but the final colour should be selected using physical samples because lighting, tile profiles and surrounding finishes can change how a colour appears.
You can read more about the preparation and re-coating process on our roof re-spraying Adelaide page.
The Deadshort Multi-Trade Advantage
Roofing problems do not always stop at the roof surface.
Water entering through a leaking or deteriorated roof can affect ceilings, insulation, plasterboard, timber, paintwork and electrical fittings. Roof-mounted equipment, gutters and roof drainage can also sometimes be involved.
Because Deadshort Services provides multiple trades through one company, we can coordinate suitable roofing work with related plumbing, electrical, carpentry and property-maintenance services where required.
Our wider services include:
• Electrical services where water has affected electrical components
• Roof plumbing, flashings and drainage
• Gutter and downpipe repairs
• Plumbing services where related water or drainage problems require attention
• Carpentry and property maintenance for suitable internal or external damage
• Air-conditioning services where roof-mounted equipment is involved
This can reduce the need for Adelaide homeowners, landlords and property managers to coordinate several unrelated contractors where roof damage, leaks or restoration work also affects other parts of the property.

Roof Restoration Colour Visualiser Adelaide FAQs
What is a roof restoration colour visualiser?
A roof restoration colour visualiser is a tool that helps you compare how different roof colours may look on a home before choosing a colour for roof restoration or re-spraying. The Deadshort Services visualiser lets you compare popular colours across several common Adelaide home styles.
Can I choose my final roof colour from the visualiser?
The visualiser is intended as a guide only. Colours can look different depending on screen settings, sunlight, roof tile profile, brickwork, render, gutters and surrounding finishes. We recommend reviewing physical colour samples before making your final decision.
What roof colours are available in the visualiser?
The visualiser includes Monument®, Surfmist®, Shale Grey™, Basalt®, Dune®, Paperbark®, Woodland Grey®, Manor Red®, Deep Ocean® and Night Sky® so you can compare a range of light, medium, dark and traditional roof colours.
Can Deadshort Services help me choose a roof restoration colour?
Yes. The visualiser can help narrow down your preferred options, and during an inspection we can discuss the roof, surrounding finishes and suitable colour choices before the final colour is selected.
Do you inspect the roof before providing a roof restoration quote?
Yes. Deadshort Services can attend the property, inspect the condition of the existing roof, identify any repairs or preparation work that may be required and provide a quote for suitable roof restoration or re-spraying work.
Should roof repairs be completed before roof restoration?
Yes. Broken tiles, deteriorated ridge capping, roof leaks, failed flashing, leaking valleys and other roofing faults should be identified and repaired before restoration or re-spraying begins. Learn more about our roof repairs Adelaide services.
Can an existing tiled roof be changed to a different colour?
In suitable cases, yes. A tiled roof can often be re-coated in a different colour as part of a properly prepared roof restoration. The condition of the roof should be assessed first to determine whether restoration and roof re-spraying are appropriate.
What is involved in a roof restoration?
The work required depends on the condition of the roof, but a suitable restoration may involve cleaning, replacement of damaged tiles, ridge capping or pointing repairs, other necessary roof repairs, preparation and application of a roof coating system. Learn more about our roof restoration Adelaide services.
Can you restore all tiled roofs?
Not every roof is suitable for restoration. If the roofing materials are too badly deteriorated or there are broader structural or material problems, another repair or replacement approach may be more appropriate. This is why we recommend inspecting the roof before quoting restoration work.
