Hi mreddie,
I would be interested in giving you an estimate but it would not be until the end of summer as I am fully booked up. I also have to have a look at Tabby's "above post" as well then, so if you are not in a hurry you can leave your details at [email protected]
Regards

Restoring my concrete tile roof is one of the next jobs on my agenda. After getting Roof Seal and Modern to quote, I am thinking of doing it myself. Either that, or get someone to repoint/rebed and pressure wash and perhaps then I may apply the coating. Not sure yet. Need to look into it further and get some other quotes
I must say that the sales guy from Modern was OK, but I found the "foot in the door" tactics used by the guy who came over from Roof Seal very annoying. I found him very arrogant, pushy, and extremely condescending. He wouldn't leave in a hurry either after repeatedly assuring him I would not commit to anything until I got further quotes from other companies.
Apart from the quote being ultra expensive, I would not go with Roof Seal based on the sales experience. Sounds like their sales tactics are not doing themselves any favors.

Help!!
We desperately need to have our roof restored. It is 28 years old and the ridge capping was replaced 12 years ago - basically it needs some serious restoration. We know nothing about roof restoration and are becoming increasingly depressed by what looks like a very dodgy industry. We have had four quotes - one from a big high pressure bunch (who offered the stupid sign option), one medium-sized company where the owner actually came out to see us and two smaller businesses. The quotes have ranged from $5300 to $13,000 for a 20 square L-shaped house. We have heard about acrylic-based paint and concrete-based paint and all of the companies have bagged each other out. What is the real story for the uninitiated? Is concrete paint better than the acrylic systems? How much should we be paying? Why can't these guys figure out that slamming their competitors is NOT a good sales tactic?
