    Honest Advice

    Should You Paint a Terracotta Roof?

    Terracotta keeps its colour for decades, so it often does not need painting. People usually choose to paint it to:

    • Change the colour: For a more modern look.
    • Even out patchy tiles: After repairs or weathering.
    • Match a renovation: Such as new gutters or render.

    If your terracotta just needs cleaning and ridge work, we will tell you.

    Unglazed terracotta tiles ready for painting

    Unglazed Only

    Glazed and Unglazed Terracotta

    Only unglazed terracotta should be painted. Glazed tiles have a smooth, sealed face that paint struggles to grip, and they are usually best left as they are.

    Priming Terracotta

    Terracotta needs a primer made for clay tiles, which helps the topcoats bond and stay flexible. We apply it after a thorough clean, once the tiles are dry.

    Colours for Painted Terracotta

    Painted terracotta can be any colour. Popular choices include charcoal, dark grey, and modern browns, or a fresh terracotta red to restore the original look.

    WHY US

    Straight Advice. Careful Work. No Roofing Nonsense.

    Choosing a roofer can feel risky. We get that. You want someone who turns up, tells the truth, respects your home, and does the job properly. That is how we work.

    01

    We Explain Things Clearly

    We do not bury you in jargon. We show you what is happening, explain why it matters, and talk through your options.

    02

    We Respect Your Property

    Your home is not a worksite to us. It is your home. We take care around gardens, driveways, older features, fragile roof materials, and neighbouring properties.

    03

    We Understand Melbourne Roofs

    From inner-city terraces to suburban family homes, Melbourne roofing is not one-size-fits-all. We account for roof pitch, age, material, drainage, local exposure, and council considerations.

    04

    We Fix The Cause, Not Just The Leak

    A quick patch might hold for a while, but it often misses the real issue. We look properly so you can make a smart decision.

    05

    Fernando, did a fantastic job pressure cleaning the roof and doing the repointing work. The roof looks brand new again! He also pressure cleaned the concrete around our house and brought it back to life. He was super easy to communicate with and gave us some great suggestions along the way. Would highly recommend his services to family and friends!

    I recently engaged Ultra Finish Roofing to complete some roof repairs and was extremely pleased with the service provided. From the initial contact through to completion, Fernando and his team were professional, responsive, and helpful. They arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and completed the repairs to a very high standard. I would highly recommend Ultra Finish Roofing to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality and professional roofing services.

    Just an absolute pleasure to deal with this company for our recent concrete tile roof restoration. Our roof was pressure cleaned, re-pointed and coated with a primer and two layers of topcoat. First class job and the work has transformed the look of our home. Fernando and his team were fantastic to work with and provided excellent follow up to ensure we were happy with the outcome.

    I had my roof pressure washed, restored & repaired. The guys did a great job as they took their time making sure it was done properly. They also did a few extra jobs that needed doing, such as a blocked downpipe, new guttering and downpipe on the rear verandah and chimney flashing. Once again they guys did a great job taking their time making certain that it was all done to high standards. Price wise, I can't complain either. I recommend Ultra Finish Roofing. Thanks Fernando, Shane and Jay.
