Material Cost
Zinc $15/m2 – $20/m2
Copper $11 to $25 per square foot
Colorbond Size and Choice

Colorbond Roof Management and Painting
In Australia, a new Colorbond roof installation cost goes from $44/m2 to $55/m2. Still, many companies charge an average price of $50/m2. On the other hand, repainting the roof represents a certain investment, but this makes it possible to prolong its life. If the roof is still in good condition, then installing roof paint is an interesting alternative to complete roof renovation.
Therefore, professional Colorbond roof painting requires a price between $55 and $70 per hour, depending on the worker’s professionalism and the required prep work such as roof cleaning and repairs. Professional and Good Quality painting can last up to 100 years.
Why is it important to clean your Roof?
As long as you maintain and clean your roof, you can keep it for a long time without having to renovate or completely change it. Depending on the roofing material, the roof cleaning should be done more or less regularly, with different products, and will help you to keep a beautiful roof for 20, 40, 70… 100 years!
We do not always think about it when we have recently put a new roof, but planning a regular roof cleaning will keep your roof looking like it is original. In addition, it helps limit the energy consumption of your home. A simple roof cleaning will consist of scrubbing the cover with a brush and water (i.e. manual brushing) and depositing a Defoamer agent against algae, mosses, lichens and so on.
