Starting point
The condition it began in
Photographs of the original surface: material, peeling, staining, rust or moss, and any damage that needed repair. Without this, a finished photo has nothing to be compared against.
Auckland Roof Painting Pros
Projects & workmanship
Thoughtful preparation. A considered finish. Start with a conversation about your property.
Where things stand
An honest note about the photographs
There are no documented, approved case studies on this website at the moment. The pictures across the site show relevant surfaces and property types. They show kinds of surface and kinds of work. They are not records of completed jobs.
That limits what a gallery could honestly tell you, so this page does something more useful. It sets out what good project evidence looks like and how to ask for it, from us or from any painter you are weighing up.
- Library photos show surfaces, not finished jobs
- Discuss examples relevant to your property
- Ask directly for information that applies to you
Anatomy of a record
What a project record should show
Three views of one project do more than any number of finished-roof photographs.
The process
The preparation and products
What was cleaned, repaired and primed, and which coating system went on. Product names matter more than adjectives, because they let you check that the system suits the surface.
The outcome
The finish, seen honestly
Matching views in similar daylight, with a note on what was included and left out. Close-ups of edges, ridges and joins show more than a distant shot of a tidy roof.
Questions to put
Requests worth making of any painter
Use these to test whether an example is evidence or just a picture, and keep the answers with your quote.
- Original-condition photographs alongside the finished ones
- The preparation steps and repairs the project included
- Product names for each coat, not only a colour name
- Whether the surface and its condition resemble your own
- When the work was done, and how the surface looks today
- Whether the owner agreed to the project being shown
- Any warranty terms in writing, and exactly what they cover
Record or photo
Project record, or just a photo?
Both have a place. Only one tells you whether the same approach suits your roof or walls.
A documented project record
- Original condition and the reason the work was needed
- Preparation, repairs and products used, by name
- Surface type, access and the scope that was agreed
- Dates, so you can see how the finish has aged
A photo on its own
- Shows how a surface looked on one day, in one light
- Says nothing about the preparation under the paint
- Cannot tell you which products were used, or why
- May show a different building from the one you own
Use photographs to judge taste and finish. Use records to judge whether the same approach would suit your surface.
Ask for specifics
Ask what applies to your property
If you want project information relevant to your roof, walls or building, ask. Tell us the surface and the work you are considering, and we can say what information can be provided for it.
