roof RESTORATIONS trusted on the sunshine coast

In Caloundra, a coastal property owner reached out to Roofing To Perfection after noticing their tiled roof had become faded, chalky, and rough from years of salt exposure and sun damage. The home’s location just a few streets from the beach meant it faced ongoing challenges from humidity, salt corrosion, and UV rays.

Our team began with a thorough roof assessment and identified early signs of surface erosion and thermal expansion cracks. To address these issues, we started by pressure cleaning the entire roof surface to remove salt, grime, and oxidised paint. Once prepped, we replaced cracked tiles and re-pointed the ridge lines using flexible compound mortar to ensure better resistance to high winds and moisture.

Next, we applied a UV-reflective roof coating designed for coastal environments. This premium finish not only enhanced colour depth and surface durability but also helped reflect heat, reducing internal temperatures during summer months.

To further improve ventilation and indoor comfort, we installed two whirlybirds strategically positioned over high heat accumulation zones. These passive vents work continuously to draw hot air out of the roof cavity, reducing reliance on air conditioning and improving airflow throughout the home.

Upon completion, the transformation was striking. The once-faded roof now showcased a uniform, deep-grey finish that revitalised the home’s appearance. The client later reported that during the following summer, their home remained noticeably cooler, and the whirlybirds made a clear difference in air circulation.

Result: A cost-effective coastal roof rejuvenation that delivered both aesthetic and functional improvements — combining durability, ventilation, and modern appeal to suit the Caloundra climate perfectly.
