We resurface and restore older roofs with industry leading products and warranties.
WHY CHOOSE RESTORATION
Why Restoration Extends The Lifespan Of Your Roof
Restoring your roof means cleaning, repairing and recoating the roof you already have, bringing it back to near-new condition for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. If your roof is structurally sound, a restoration can add 10 or more years to its life, protected by a membrane system with performance and colour fade guarantees.
- Prolonged Roof Life: Regular cleaning and inspections can add years to your roof, preventing early replacements.
- Cost Savings: Addressing minor issues early prevents more costly repairs down the line.
- Energy Efficiency: A well-maintained roof can improve insulation, keeping your home comfortable and reducing energy bills.
- Enhanced Curb Appeal: A clean, well-kept roof enhances the overall look and value of your property.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Every restoration includes
White Roofing offers a range of maintenance services tailored to your roof’s specific needs, ensuring it remains in top condition year-round. Our services include:
Roof Cleaning
Remove dirt, moss, and lichen with eco-friendly cleaning methods that protect your roof’s materials and appearance.
Protective Roof Coatings
Protect your roof from UV, weather, and pollutants while extending its lifespan and reducing future repairs.
Gutter and Downpipe Maintenance
Clear and maintain gutters and downpipes to ensure proper drainage and help prevent leaks and water damage.
Moss and Lichen Treatment
Safely treat moss and lichen to prevent moisture buildup and protect your roof from further deterioration.
Roof Repairs and Minor Fixes
Fix leaks, broken tiles, flashings, rust, and early signs of wear before they become costly problems.
WHY RESTORE YOUR ROOF
Stop small problems becoming expensive ones
Surface rust, cracked tiles, failed pointing and loose fixings all let water in. A restoration fixes them before they damage your ceilings, insulation and framing.
Save thousands compared with a re-roof
A new roof means stripping the old one, disposing of it and paying for new materials and labour. A restoration works with the roof you have, so you pay for preparation, repairs and coatings, not a whole new roof.
Add 10+ years to your roof’s life
We use Shieldcoat membrane systems. These are high-resin coatings with zero fillers, not ordinary roof paint, applied in three or four coats to build a thick, durable film. They come with 10+ year performance guarantees.
Made for New Zealand conditions
New Zealand roofs face strong UV, heavy rain and coastal air. Our coatings are NZ-made and designed to handle local conditions, with a colour fade guarantee so your roof keeps its finish.
Lift your street appeal and resale value
Choose from over 36 popular colours in gloss, satin or matt. Buyers notice a roof that’s been looked after, and top agents say they’ll pay more for a home where the work’s already done.
Less waste, less disruption
Your roof stays on throughout the job. There’s no stripping, no skip full of old roofing heading to landfill, and less disruption to your household.
Is restoration right for your roof?
Restoration suits concrete tile, decramastic and metal roofs that are still structurally sound. If your iron is rusted through or the roof is failing, a re-roof is the better investment, and we’ll tell you honestly which one you need.

FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers
How long does a roof restoration take?
Most roof restorations on an average home take 3–7 working days. The time depends on the roof’s size and material, how much repair work is needed, and the weather, since coatings can’t go onto a wet roof or be applied in rain. Your roof stays on the whole time, so unlike a re-roof you can carry on living at home as normal.
How much does a roof restoration cost in New Zealand?
A roof restoration for an average New Zealand home typically costs $4000-$7000. The price depends on the roof’s size, pitch, material and condition, and how much repair is needed before coating. That’s a fraction of the cost of replacing the roof: re-roofing a standard Auckland home costs around $14,000 -$32,000 in long-run steel, and $22,000 - $45,000 or more for concrete or clay tile conversion. White Roofing provides free on-site quotes in Auckland and Tauranga.
Is roof restoration worth it, or should I replace my roof?
Roof restoration is worth it if your roof is structurally sound but worn, faded or starting to rust. It costs far less than a re-roof and can add 10 or more years of life. Replacement is the better investment when the roof has reached the end of its life. Signs include iron that has rusted through, tiles breaking down across the whole roof, or ongoing leaks from failed materials. A proper inspection will tell you which one you need.
How long does a roof restoration last?
A quality roof restoration typically lasts 10 years or more, depending on the coating system, the preparation and how exposed your home is. Resene puts the average repaint interval for New Zealand roofs at 8–10 years for standard roof paint, while multi-coat membrane systems are built to last longer. White Roofing uses Shieldcoat membrane systems, which carry 10+ year performance guarantees.
