Melbourne roof restorations fail when contractors skip key steps: rushing cleaning/drying, ignoring re-bedding/re-pointing, using wrong coatings, applying in bad weather, missing leaks, cutting coat counts, neglecting gutters, and lacking written scopes. These shortcuts cause failures within 1–2 seasons, costing far more than proper restoration, which should extend roof life 15–25 years with a full 4-coat system and workmanship guarantee.
