If you have been thinking about painting your commercial roof, cost is likely one of the first questions on your mind. With over 30 years of experience delivering commercial roof painting across Australia, Avello Group knows what it takes to get the job done to a high standard, on time and within budget.
So, how much will it cost? As a starting point, the average cost of roof painting in Australia is approximately $10 to $20 per square metre. But the final price depends on a number of factors specific to your building and project.
Here is what we consider when putting together your quote.
1. How Large Is Your Roof?
Roof size is the most obvious factor but it is not always straightforward. Larger roofs can actually be more efficient to paint, but unique architectural shapes, angles, and design features all influence the approach required and can affect the overall cost.
2. What Access and Supporting Equipment Is Required?
Commercial roof painting involves more than paint and brushes. Depending on your building's height, structure, and location, safe access equipment may be required, including:
- Scaffolding
- Abseil systems
- Elevated work platforms or lifts
The type of access required is determined by your building's architecture and will be clearly outlined in your quote upfront.
3. Where Is Your Building Located?
Location plays a role in pricing. Metropolitan jobs are generally straightforward, but regional projects may involve additional travel and accommodation costs. At Avello Group, we will always be upfront about any location-related expenses before work begins. No surprises.
4. What Condition Is Your Roof In?
For a paint job to last, the surface must be properly prepared beforehand. Depending on the condition of your roof, pre-paint maintenance may be required including pressure washing, moss treatment, rust treatment, or repairs to damaged areas. These preparation costs will be factored into your quote.
5. How Steep Is Your Roof?
Roof pitch affects more than just access difficulty. Steeper roofs have a greater total surface area than they appear from the ground, which can impact both the amount of paint required and the overall cost of the project.
6. Are There Any Local Council Requirements?
Every local government has its own guidelines around construction and maintenance work. Noise restrictions, privacy laws, time-of-day limitations, and seasonal considerations may all influence how and when work can be carried out, and in some cases, the final cost. We navigate all of this on your behalf and will always keep you informed.
