Coastline Restoration Co. Real ranges, and how we make a quote comparable.
Two quotes for the same roof can be thousands apart because they are pricing different jobs, a clean, a restoration, or a full re-roof. We name the scope in writing so you can compare like with like, with no from $ guesses.
Work out the scope, then model the range.
The condition aid points you at the right option, the estimator models an indicative range. Both are free, store nothing, and neither is a quote.
Work out which option you actually need
Two quick questions and we will point you at the right scope: a single surface, a full reset, a restoration, or a diagnose-first visit. Then you can see what it costs.
Estimate your range in under a minute
Five quick questions to model an indicative range for your job. It is not a quote, just a sense of where you would land before we walk the job.
Typical local ranges, not a quote.
| Pressure-only roof clean (the stripes come back in a season) | $200 to $450 |
| Soft-wash roof clean (single-storey, sound tile or Colorbond) | $450 to $900 |
| House wash, full exterior (render or weatherboard, single-storey) | $350 to $750 |
| Roof restoration (re-bed, repoint, repair, optional recoat) | $3,000 to $8,000+ |
Six things that decide where your quote lands.
None of it is a hidden fee. These are the levers an honest operator names upfront.
Six levers. One honest range.
Size and surface area
A bigger roof, a longer driveway or more wall to wash takes more product and more time. The biggest single lever on most jobs.
The surface itself
Tile, Colorbond, render, weatherboard, concrete and aggregate each want their own method and product. Some are slower and more careful than others.
Access and pitch
A steep roof, a two-storey wall or a tight canal-side block means harnesses, wands or platforms. Single-storey with easy access is the cheapest end.
Condition
Light surface grime washes off fast. Heavy mould, lichen, set-in oil or failing paint takes dwell-time, repeat passes, or a repair pathway first.
Repairs needed
A clean is one price. Slipped tiles, failed pointing or peeling paint that needs fixing first is a different scope, quoted separately so you can compare.
Run-off and containment
On driveway and degreaser work we block the stormwater pit and contain the wash water. It is part of the job, not an extra, but it is real time on site.
Every quote, built the same way.
The surface, the method for it, the scope, the realistic life span, and any open items capped. So you can read it and compare it.
Seven lines. Every one in writing.
- 01The surface, named
- 02The method for that surface
- 03The scope, in writing
- 04The realistic life span
- 05Open items and the cap
“$4,500 the house” by text → seven lines, priced.
- 1 The surface, named. Tile or Colorbond, render or weatherboard, concrete or aggregate. We write down what we are actually working on, because the method follows the surface.
- 2 The method for that surface. Soft-wash biocide, degreaser dwell-time, the right nozzle. The right pressure for the surface, not a one-size blast.
- 3 The scope, in writing. Exactly what is included and what is not. A clean, a repair pathway, or both, named so you can compare quotes like with like.
- 4 The realistic life span. How long the result actually holds on this coast, and the maintenance cycle that keeps it there. No lifetime numbers.
- 5 Open items and the cap. Anything we cannot see until we are up there, flagged before we start, with a cap on what a variation can add to the invoice.
What you get from us
- ✓A walk-around or photos first, then a real number on a written quote.
- ✓The right pressure for the surface, soft-wash where it belongs.
- ✓Public liability certificate and tickets shown on request, not just claimed.
- ✓Wash water contained and disposed of properly, never hosed to the stormwater drain.
- ✓The realistic life span named upfront, no lifetime promises.
Cowboy tells
- ✕A price quoted from the kerb without ever getting on the roof.
- ✕A turbo nozzle on everything, chalked coatings and stripped render.
- ✕Fully insured said out loud, with no certificate when you ask.
- ✕Oil and detergent hosed into the gutter, straight to the creek.
- ✕Cash, mate is rates, start tomorrow, and no invoice if it goes wrong.
A clean, a reset, or a restoration.
Single surface clean
Just the one job done well: the roof, or the house wash, or the driveway. A soft-wash or pressure clean matched to that surface.
Wrong when: The roof has failing pointing or slipped tiles, or you have several surfaces due at once.
Full exterior reset
Roof clean, house wash and gutter clean booked together. Everything dries at once and you save the separate call-out costs.
Wrong when: You only have one surface that needs attention, or the roof needs structural repair first.
Roof restoration
Re-bedding, flexible repointing, tile repair and an optional recoat. For a tiled roof with life left that does not need replacing.
Wrong when: The roof is structurally fine and just dirty, where a clean is the right call instead.
Diagnose first
Heavy mould, failing paint, lead or asbestos, or a roof you are not sure about. We assess on site before we commit to a scope.
Wrong when: The job is straightforward and you already know which surface needs doing.
