Pitched Roof Restoration Singapore
Does your home boast a classic pitched tile roof? While known for their elegance and durability, these beauties aren’t invincible. Time and weather can take their toll, leaving you with faded, cracked, and potentially leaking tiles.
But before you resign yourself to a costly roof replacement, consider restoration! It’s a cost-effective and sustainable way to extend the lifespan of your pitched tile roof and restore its former glory.
Â
Why Restore Pitched Roof?
Tiles would normally last for 30 years and beyond. As the roof ages, the protective coating wears off due to wear and tear. When this happens, the quality of the roof tile deteriorates and the roof tile becomes brittle if left untreated. The roof tile will then be prone to cracks resulting in roof leakages. Thus it would be prudent to carry out Restoration Works to the old roof before this happens to avoid costly re-roofing costs.
Investing in restoration offers a multitude of benefits:
- Save Money:Â Restoration costs significantly less than complete roof replacement.
- Increased Longevity: A well-restored roof can last another 20-30 years, adding immense value to your property.
- Enhanced Curb Appeal: A vibrant, revitalized roof dramatically improves your home’s aesthetics.
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Properly sealed and coated tiles enhance thermal insulation, potentially reducing energy bills.
- Environmentally Friendly:Â Restoration minimizes waste and conserves resources compared to full replacement.

We found the Roofing Specialist via Google search as we were faced with a leaking ceiling on the upper floor after the recent … More downpours. Marc and his team were fast to respond and very knowledgeable of their craft, identifying the issue easily after a quick survey of the roof.
Their fares were transparent and fair and Marc wasn’t pushy with throwing in any extra works. After seeing how well the job was done we decided to enlist their aid for the remaining sections of the roof for good measure. The team was thorough and even accommodated some of our ad hoc requests along the way. Very satisfied with the final result. -

I am very satisfied with The Roofing Specialist that just finished doing roof repair for my entire roof. The main reasons … More that made me engage 'The Roofing Specialist' out of the few companies that quoted me was their quotation was the most transparent in listing very clearly the works that were to be done and it also stated that workmen injury compensation was borne by the company. The pricing is reasonable and comes with 5 year warranty. The 3 experienced workers were punctual every day and was led by Belayit. Their attitude was professional, respectful, and responsible with good teamwork. They took feedback seriously and acted upon them immediately with no question asked. Debris was disposed off site and they ensure that the place was properly cleaned and tidied at the end of each day. Most importantly, they not only delivered all that were promised, they even did extra works to fulfill customer satisfaction as the workers took pride in their work. I am also impressed that the company has safety measures in place for the workers.

Our roof was over 60 yrs old and in desperate need of replacement. After getting and comparing 3 quotes, we drcided to go … More with Marc, The Roofing Specialist. We did not regret our decision.
Marc was prompt and professional in answering all our questions on the reno options and materials used. He was flexible in accomodating peripheral works like awning general repairs to our ceiling ( water damaged) & painting.
From submission of a detailed quotation, agreeing on start date, undertaking to complete in 3-4 wks subj to weather; all works as described were delivered to perfection and on time (3 weeks).
We appreciated the constant progress updates, pre notice of inconvenience of materials coming on site, skipbin blocking neighbours entrance, all whilst still being able to stay in our house during reno.
Overall their well organised and good communication made the whole experience pleasant and free of stress.
Only comment would be to request for full thorough inspection of interior of roof; to determine if rafters need replacement or additional support, so there will be no surprises.
Other than above, we would not hesitate to recommend Marc, Mohamed & his team of men at The Roofing Specialist -
