Inside a Roof Restoration: What Logan Homeowners Can Expect

If you’ve never had your roof restored before, it can feel like a bit of a mystery. What do they actually do? How long does it take? And is it really worth it?


Here’s what a professional roof restoration in Logan looks like, from the initial quotation to the final coat.


Step 1: Free Roof Quotation

JMZ begins every project with a detailed roof quotation, checking for:

  • Tile cracks, displaced ridges, and pointing wear 
  • Replace screws (for metal roofs) 
  • Moss, lichen, and faded coatings


You’ll get an honest quote — not a sales pitch.


Step 2: High-Pressure Cleaning

Next, the roof is deep-cleaned to remove:

  • Biological growth (moss, lichen, mould)
  • Built-up grime and dust
  • Any loose or flaking paint


This prepares the surface for long-lasting adhesion.


Step 3: Repairs and Repointing

Before painting, JMZ will: 

  • Replace cracked tiles
  • Replace rusted screws
  • Re-bed and re-point ridges as needed


This step is critical for long-term performance.


Step 4: Primer Application

JMZ uses Primecote

  •  A water-based primer from Globalcote
  • To help the topcoat bond with the roof surface.


This boosts durability and finish.


Step 5: Two-Coat Membrane System

Your roof then receives two coats of either:

  • Infracote — for heat-reflective performance
  • Elastacote — for maximum elasticity and weather resistance


These coatings meet all Australian Standards and are designed for Queensland’s harsh climate.


Disclaimer: While restoration extends roof life significantly, regular inspections are still recommended — especially in storm-prone Logan.

What Are the Best Roof Colours for Ipswich Homes?

By Rebecca JMZ • March 6, 2026
Choosing a roof colour isn’t just about what looks good. In Ipswich, it can also impact how hot your home gets, how long the coating lasts, and how well your roof handles storm season. So how do you pick the right colour — one that’s both beautiful and practical? Understanding Ipswich’s Climate and Its Impact on Colour Ipswich homes face a mix of harsh elements: Intense sunlight and UV radiation High summer heat - Seasonal storms and heavy rain Airborne dust and debris Dark roofs tend to absorb more heat, which can raise internal temperatures. They also fade faster under UV exposure. Lighter roofs reflect more sunlight, keeping your home cooler and helping the coating last longer. Popular Roof Colours in Ipswich Globalcote colour options for Ipswich homeowners: Surfmist: Bright, clean, and one of the highest for heat reflection Shale Grey: Modern and versatile with good solar performance Evening Haze: Soft and neutral with broad street appeal Dune: An earthy tone that blends well with older and newer homes Windspray: Subtle and stylish, suitable for various house styles All these colours are available in Globalcote’s Infracote (heat reflective) and Elastacote (flexible membrane) roof coating systems.
