Why would Roof
Painting
Christchurch turn
down a job?
One of the worst things about our business is not being able to help our
customers - on the rare occasion. We sometimes hear from disgruntled
customers who we are unable to help, because their roof is beyond re-
coating.
We are very clear about what state a
roof needs to be in, before it can be
re-coated and when we encounter
one that is beyond help, its a hard
thing for the home owner to hear.
We wont re-coat a roof that we cant apply our full warranty to -
and sometimes that means the roof needs a full replacement.
Unlike other companies, we do not re-roof,
so there isn't anything in it for us to say no.
Many companies who do both, will push for a
re-roof, as it generally involves far bigger
sums of money (3-5X the cost of a re-coat).
Often people are after a quick patch up job as they intend selling, or are just wanting another
couple of years life so they can budget to pay for a re-roof. Whatever the reason, we would be
silly to re-coat something that isn't going to last, as who do you think gets the blame when the
roof fails?
Yes - we can do a re-coat and contract out of all
liability, should the roof fail in the short- medium
term, but that doesn't alleviate the disappointment
to the home owner, should the roof fail and they are
faced with significant re-roofing costs, ahead of
when they thought they would.
The other thing to note is that by simply getting on the roof and re-coating it, current damage can be
amplified and the roofs end date is effectively "brought forward". So if we turn down a job as we deems
the roof not worthy of a re-coat, be very careful about simply ringing around to find someone
If you do find someone who is prepared to put
their name to a re-coat in this situation, be
meticulous in understanding their warranty
conditions and what they will and wont do, in
the event of the roof failing ahead of your
expectations.
