Are you wondering if we can restore a roof with solar panels? The simple answer is yes! In fact, it’s one the most frequently asked questions we get asked by homeowners. We explain more below. Can you restore a roof that has solar panels? When it comes to restoring a roof the has solar panels, there are two options. 1. Have them removed prior to the work and re-installed once the roof restoration is complete. 2. Have them covered with plastic and taped up. The roof is then restored but the area under the solar panels is not painted. We find the second option is the most common. Restoring a Roof with Solar Panels When our technicians restore a roof that has solar panels it doesn’t change the price. In terms of the process, the only other task we have to complete is cover up the panels with plastic prior to applying any coatings. IMPORTANT NOTE : JMZ Roof Restorations will not remove the panels prior to a restoration. If you wish to have them removed, you will need to contact an electrician or solar installation company.

As part of our tile roof restoration process, our roofing professionals will replace broken, chipped or cracked tiles, but did you know we always opt for second-hand roof tiles? We are often asked why, and in this blog we reveal the main reasons. 2 Reasons JMZ Uses Second-Hand Roof Tiles During Restorations Reusing roof tiles can have many benefits, including that it puts old roof tiles that are still in great condition to good use, and stops them from ending up in landfill. Typically, if you only have a small number of tiles to replace, it will also be more affordable to use second-hand roof tiles than forking out for new ones. But that’s only the beginning. In addition to being better for the planet – and your wallet! – here are the two main reasons that JMZ Roof Restorations reuses roof tiles: 1. Difficult to match existing tiles Roof tile manufacturing companies continually change their profiles/shape of tiles over the years. That means you may actually have great difficulty finding new ones that match your existing tiles, depending on the age of the property. 2. Consistency Second-hand roof tiles are also used to ensure the gloss level is uniform across the roof. New tiles are generally glazed and can sometimes cause a patchy appearance when restoring a roof. Using second-hand tiles means we can often achieve a much better (more consistent) finish across the entire roof.

If you want to boost the street appeal of your South East Queensland property and protect it from the elements, a house roof restoration is a superb starting point. And, if you have multiple dwellings or structures (i.e. house, granny flat, shed, or pool cabana) on the one block, having all roofs restored at the same time can provide an instant facelift. Many of our clients on larger blocks or in semi-rural parts of South East Queensland have more than one structure on their property. In these cases, it makes a lot of sense (from a cost and aesthetic point of view) to freshen up all roofs up at same time. During a JMZ roof restoration, a high pressure clean is carried out, along with minor repairs if needed. We then reseal the roof and coat it with premium acrylic roof membrane from Globalcote. Here’s a client case study that included several different structures in addition to the main house… Redland City Roof Restoration One homeowner in Redland City wanted his whole Thornlands property to shine not just the main residence, so we completed a full restoration to the metal roofs of the main residence, the back shed and the pool cabana. As the three (3) roof surfaces were restored simultaneously, the result was a sleek and seamless appearance (and none of the structures look out of place). Also, the surfaces should now age at a similar pace and the next time a freshen up is needed the surfaces can be rejuvenated concurrently again.

Restoring roof tiles can make a significant difference to the appearance of a tired home, but perhaps most importantly they ensure that your home won’t be damaged by bad weather or rain events. JMZ Roof Restorations has been in operation for 30 years and in that time our professional technicians have restored metal and tile roofs for thousands of homes and businesses across South East Queensland. (So, you can trust us when we say a restoration will turn back the clock because we’ve seen our fair share of roof transformations!) Our team strives to carry out the best job every time, and we feel particularly proud when customers return to use our services more than once. That was the case for one Brisbane homeowner who recently enlisted our help for the second time. Restoring Roof Tiles Just like any roofing product that’s exposed to the elements, tiles will deteriorate over time. In saying that, when you notice signs like cracked or chipped tiles , you’ll want to promptly enlist the help of a professional as problems like this could lead to water seeping into the cavity of your roof. Here at JMZ, the process to restore a tiled roof typically takes two whole days. And is more than replacing a few damaged tiles. It includes: A high-pressure clean of the roof surface to remove moss, grime and other contaminants Tiles that are chipped or broken being replaced (find out why we recommend second hand tile replacements here) Rebedding and repointing of ridgecapping Applying Globalcote’s sterilising solution “Prepcote” and their sealer “Primecote” Applying 2 coats of a Globalcote roof membrane Roof Restoration Bridgeman Downs In 2014, the JMZ Roof Restorations team restored a tile roof in Bridgeman Downs. We returned to that property again in 2022 to rejuvenate the home’s roof after it was damaged in a storm with heavy rain. As a result of the wild weather, the roof needed a few repairs and some broken tiles needed replacing. Plus, we coated the surface with our heat-reflective membrane Infracote (previously they had it coated in Elastacote) to spruce it up. The homeowner did consider a roof colour change but stayed with the same colour as they had previously. We also installed a valley seal – a strip that prevents water and animals from getting inside the roof space – at this North Brisbane home. Here’s what the owner said about working with JMZ Roof Restorations: “This is the second time we have used JMZ. They have done a wonderful job and all of their staff were brilliantly professional. They replaced broken tiles, fixed problems and then painted the tiles. Thanks guys we are very happy. The final test will be the next heavy rains… ?” Keith T.
