Planning to restore my concrete tile roof & have considered putting sarking in as well. The quotes I've obtained vary wildly. I'm hoping someone with a bit of knowledge can lend me their thoughts. All quotes include the mandatory QBCC insurance premium.
Quote 1:
$6500
"Proprietary 1038 resin based primer & paint". Made in Brisbane, some US company makes it apparently. Doesn't do sarking.
Quote 2:
$6500 - restore
Dulux Acra-Tex coatings
$10,600 - restore + sarking (brand not specified)
Quote 3:
$9350 - restore
Nutech coatings. Claims no warranty exclusions & that Dulux requires washing every 2 years for warranty
$13500 - sarking (brand not specified)
Quote 4:
$17700 - restore + sarking (wouldn't do restore alone due to roof pitch being 15 deg). No details re paint or sarking provided.
Really have no clue. 2 & 3 both have very good reviews, including from my neighbourhood. Can't see $3k extra value in a different paint brand, unless I am missing something?
4 is obviously a piss take. 1 is a big company that do the hard sell in home.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Never heard of sarking done with a roof repaint. If you're after additional insulation then I'd think there's better and cheaper alternatives.
We had our roof done with Dulux Arcatex 20 years ago. Still looks new. House built in 1969. Tiles Roman profile (Boral).
