What a Proper Restoration Includes
A restoration isn't a paint job. Done properly, it's a full renewal of your roof's protective layers - and every Crossy's restoration includes all four stages:
- Roof inspection - a full assessment of tiles or sheets, ridge capping, flashings, valleys and gutters, so nothing gets coated over that should be fixed first.
- High-pressure cleaning - decades of dirt, lichen and mould stripped back to a sound surface the coating can actually bond to.
- Repairs & sealing - cracked tiles replaced, ridge caps re-bedded and re-pointed, rust treated, leaks repaired before any coating goes near the roof.
- Roof coating - heat-reflective IRC membrane applied in multiple coats for a finish that protects the roof and looks clean.
The result: a roof that looks new, sheds water properly, reflects summer heat and is ready for solar - for a fraction of replacement cost.
Why Restore With Crossy's
Anyone can buy a spray rig. The difference is in the prep, the products and the people.
Aussie-Made IRC Coatings
Industrial Roof Coatings - developed right here in the Northern Rivers by a roofer-turned-chemist. UV-stable, weatherproof, and tougher than the big-name paints.
Repairs Before Coating, Always
Every restoration includes cleaning, resealing and ridge cap repairs so the roof is solid before a drop of coating is applied. No painting over problems.

Roof Restoration FAQs
How long does a roof restoration last with IRC coatings?
A properly restored roof can last 10 to 15 years or more when done right. We use IRC (Industrial Roof Coatings), an Australian-made product created by a roofer-turned-chemist who wanted something tougher than the big-name paints. It's UV-resistant, weatherproof and built for Aussie conditions. Applied over a fully cleaned and repaired roof, it delivers long-lasting results.
How long does a roof restoration take?
Most residential roof restorations take about 1 to 3 working days once the job starts, depending on roof size, access, weather and how much repair work is needed. Larger or more complex roofs can take longer; we confirm the expected timeframe before booking.
How much does a roof restoration cost?
Restorations done properly by licensed professionals using IRC coatings and offering real warranties usually cost between $7,000 and $12,000, depending on roof size, condition and the work involved. Cut-price jobs under $5,000 often cut corners - we see the peeling paint, leaks and rust coming back fast. Compare quotes from trusted companies and never feel pressured into a quick decision.
How do I know if my roof needs restoration?
If your roof has faded, has cracked tiles, rusted flashing or mould build-up, it may be time. We'll inspect it first and let you know if restoration is worthwhile or if a simple repair will do the trick. No pressure, just clear advice.
Can you restore any roof type?
We restore tiled roofs, COLORBOND®, and other metal surfaces. As long as the structure is sound, we can clean, repair and recoat most roof types, including skillion, gable and complex multi-slope profiles.
Will restoration stop my roof from leaking?
Yes - we repair all leaks before coating. We inspect the roof, identify problem spots, and fix everything from cracked tiles to flashing. The coating then adds a protective seal on top of those repairs.
Is restoration cheaper than a roof replacement?
In most cases, yes. If your roof is still structurally strong, a restoration is significantly more affordable than a full replacement. We'll let you know upfront which is best and never upsell what you don't need.
