Roof Painting
Hawke's Bay —
Free Inspection Included

Roof painting costs in Hawke's Bay depend on the size of your roof, roof type (iron, concrete tile or terracotta), pitch and accessibility, and the extent of rust or preparation required. A typical 3-bedroom home roof starts from around $2,800–$5,500. We provide a fixed-price written quote after a free roof inspection — rust treatment, priming and two topcoats included in the price.

In Hawke's Bay, most iron roofs need repainting every 8–15 years depending on the quality of the previous coating, sun exposure, and how close to the coast the property is. Concrete tile roofs may need recoating every 10–20 years. Signs it's time include: visible rust, patchwork paint loss, chalky or powdery surface, or colour that has significantly faded. A free inspection will tell you exactly where yours stands.

Yes — always, and it's included in our fixed price. We wire-brush every rusted area, apply a specialist rust-inhibiting primer (Nutech Rust Stop or Dulux Metalshield), and allow full cure time before any topcoat is applied. Painting over untreated rust is a guarantee of early failure — we never skip this step.

We primarily use Nutech roof coating systems and Dulux Acratex — two of NZ's most trusted and UV-stable roof coating brands. Both are specifically formulated for New Zealand's UV intensity, coastal conditions and temperature swings. Nutech's elastomeric formula is particularly well-suited to Hawke's Bay because it flexes with the roof under thermal movement rather than cracking. Sam will recommend the right system for your specific roof during your free inspection.

Yes — significantly, particularly in Hawke's Bay summers. Lighter-coloured coatings and Nutech's solar-reflective roof coatings reflect UV and infrared radiation rather than absorbing it. This can reduce ceiling temperatures by 5–10°C on hot days, making a noticeable difference to comfort and air conditioning costs.

Yes — we paint all common roof types in Hawke's Bay, including concrete tiles, terracotta and clay tiles. These require specific preparation (biocide wash to kill moss and lichen, and an appropriate penetrating sealer or primer) and a breathable coating system that won't trap moisture. We follow manufacturer specifications for every system we apply.

A standard 3-bedroom home roof typically takes 2–4 working days — including the water blast, drying time, rust treatment, priming and two full topcoats. Weather affects timing (we don't apply coatings in rain or high wind), but we factor this into our project scheduling. We'll give you a realistic timeline at your free inspection.

We cover the full Hawke's Bay region — Napier, Taradale, Greenmeadows, Bay View, Hastings, Flaxmere, Havelock North, Clive, Bridge Pa and Central Hawke's Bay including Waipawa and Waipukurau. No travel surcharge in our core areas. Call Sam on 021 089 84169 to confirm your location.
