Roof Repointing in Karrinyup

Every tile roof in Karrinyup built in the late 1950s-1960s has mortar between the tiles that's now 60-70 years old and crumbling away. Repointing means raking out that failed mortar and replacing it with flexible modern compound that moves with your roof and doesn't crack. It's not a cosmetic job, it's structural, the mortar is what holds tiles in place and keeps water out, so once it goes, individual tiles shift and water finds its way underneath. We do complete repointing as part of full restoration, but standalone repointing costs 2,500 to 4,000 dollars depending on roof size and how much deterioration we find. Many homeowners are surprised how much mortar deterioration sits hidden between tiles until we start inspecting. The work is time-intensive because it's tile by tile, but it's the foundation of any long-term roof solution for older homes. Once repointing is done with modern material, you've addressed one of the biggest failure points on your 60-70 year old roof.

Repointing is replacing the mortar between roof tiles. After 60-70 years, Karrinyup's original lime mortar is crumbling and letting water seep beneath the tiles. Modern flexible mortar moves with temperature changes and resists salt spray better than old lime. A complete repointing job costs $2,500-4,000 and is often the biggest job in a roof restoration, but it's essential on late 1950s-1960s tile roofs here.
