Our homes are huge investments, and on top of their worth, they are our sanctuaries, our little nook of space where we can unwind and relax, so it makes sense that we should do all in our power to protect and look after them! And yet, often people dismiss roof spraying services. It seems that many people are unaware that roof coating can make a huge difference to the value of your home and should be up there on the list of regular maintenance for your property!
If your roof is in need of a roof coating, you're in the right place. Here's what you need to know about the roof coating process with EMS Powerwash.
No hassle, no obligation—just a fair price for top-quality cleaning.
If you're not sure why a roof coating service should be on your list of home maintenance tasks, here are just some of the benefits of roof tile paint and roof coatings.
Our homes are an expression of ourselves, and the roof is very much still a part of our home! With the help of a roof coating, you can ensure that your roof tiles maintain their colour and stay organised.
Additionally, roof tiles are susceptible to continuous weathering and become more porous over time. This creates the ideal environment for moss and lichens on the roof tiles. When this organic growth occurs on the roof tiles, it immediately changes the appearance, making your roof structure look dirty and grubby. By investing in roof tile painting services and roof coating, you can stop the growth of organic material, maintaining the brand-new roof appearance.
If you're looking to sell your home, a roof coating can be an easy way to add value to your property. Simply put, a better-looking roof will make for a higher-valued property. It suggests to buyers and lenders that they will not need to worry about a new roof and can trust the existing roof tiles. A roof coating also helps to prevent broken tiles by keeping your roof tiles clean and free of roof moss, which is another positive sign to sellers and lenders.
A high-quality roof coating can extend the lifespan of your roof by many years. Roof moss can damage the roof structure if left unchecked. The moisture collected by the moss when it rains can lead to mould growth, which is a health hazard, and the moss itself can be heavy and pervasive, leading to cracked and broken tiles. That's not all, either. Moss can prevent your roof from being able to keep moisture out, which can be a long-term issue. Organic growth can also facilitate freeze-thaw cycles that can subsequently cause cracked and broken tiles.
By preventing this with roof coating services from EMS Powerwash and roof tile painting, you can ensure that your roof tiles last longer, saving you the hefty cost of getting a new roof fitted.
That's not the only way that a roof coating can save you money, either. By reducing the moisture in the roof, you reduce the heat transfer. This means that less heat disappears through your concrete roof tiles. Ultimately, this improves the thermal efficiency of your home, and therefore you will need to use less energy, saving you money on your bills on a regular basis.
By spraying a protective roof coating over your roof tiles you are creating a completely seamless layer over your roof that helps to prevent any issues with moisture, dirt, wind and everything else. It can fill small leaks and is a great way to restore your roof's waterproof capabilities.
New roofs are expensive, and if you are finding that your roof is a little leaky or there are a few cracked tiles, it might be something that you're considering. But with a roof coating, you get all the benefits of a new roof without having to fork out all of the money. A roof coating is quicker, cheaper and less disruptive to your daily life than a new roof.

As with any painting or spraying job, the exact cost of the roof painting and spraying will depend on a number of factors. The first thing that will determine the cost will be the size of your property. Larger properties naturally have larger roofs, so will need more product and take more time to spray effectively. Another factor that EMS Powerwash will take into consideration when calculating the cost of a spraying job will be where the property is and how easily accessible the roof is.
Aside from the property itself, other elements that may impact the cost include what kind of roof tiles are being sprayed, how much repair work needs to be done before the roof coating can be applied, and even what product is being used to coat the roof tiles.
