At Alikai Roofing Services, we take pride in our commitment to professionalism and excellence. Our roofing procedures are designed to ensure the highest level of precision and quality.
Roof restorations
How it's done
Gutters Cleared: The first step involves a thorough cleaning of your gutters, removing debris, leaves, and blockages to maintain proper water flow and prevent potential damage.
High-Pressure Washing: The roof undergoes high-pressure washing to effectively remove dirt, grime, moss, and algae. The surrounding area is also cleaned, enhancing the overall appearance.
Minor Repairs: Any signs of wear and tear are addressed with minor repairs, such as fixing broken tiles and re-pointing ridge capping using Selley's Flexi-Pointing, ensuring a structurally sound roof that prevents leaks.
Roof Tile Primer: A coat of Globalcote Highbuild Roof Tile Primer is applied, serving as a sturdy foundation for subsequent coatings and protecting the underlying structure.
Roofing Membrane Application: Two coats of Globalcote Elastacote Roofing Membrane are applied in your chosen color. This advanced membrane not only enhances the roof's appearance but also provides a durable protective layer for increased resistance to the elements.
Clean-Up and Disposal: The work area is thoroughly cleaned, and all debris, old materials, and waste are responsibly disposed of.
Roof Repairs and Maintenance
How it's done
Tile Replacement: Replacing damaged or deteriorating tiles, whether traditional clay, concrete, or modern metal, maintains your roof's protective qualities and visual appeal.
Roof Re-bedding and Re-pointing: Essential for preserving mortar and cement joints, preventing leaks, and maintaining the roof's strength, especially when exposed to the elements.
Valley Iron Replacement: Replacing the valley iron at roof intersections directs rainwater away, preventing water damage by ensuring smooth water flow.
Installing Valley Clips: Securing roofing materials with valley clips prevents slippage during extreme weather, enhancing both aesthetics and durability.
Weep Holes Re-Drilled: Re-drilling weep holes allows trapped moisture and condensation to escape, preventing mold and rot, while promoting proper ventilation.
Re-Screwing: Changing loose or damaged screws in the roofing structure, ensuring it remains secure and stable.
Re-Sarking: Re-sarking is employed to strengthen the underlying structure of the roof, improving its durability and performance.
Metal Flashings & Lead Flashings: These are essential for roof repairs, providing a barrier against water intrusion, preventing leaks, and protecting vulnerable areas.
Colorbond Sheet Replacements: Replace damaged or worn Colorbond sheets, enhancing the appearance and durability of the roof.
These roof repair techniques and methods ensure that your roof remains in top condition, protecting your home from damage and maintaining its longevity.

Solar Panel Cleaning
How it's done
After installation, solar panels can lose efficiency due to environmental factors like dust, dirt, and bird droppings. Untouched panels for 2 years or more may lose up to 50% efficiency, a stark contrast to the 10-25% drop on cloudy days.
Regular solar panel cleaning is essential to maintain peak efficiency. Our experienced team serves residential, strata, government, and commercial properties on the Central Coast.
Inspect the Panels: Panels are examined prior to washing for any damage.
Clear Debris: Debree is cleared, like leaves or dirt, from the surface of the panels.
Wash Panels: Solar panels are gently scrubbed using a soapy brush. It is best to avoid using high-pressure water or abrasive scrubbers as can damage the protective coating.
Rinse Thoroughly: Panels are rinsed with a gentle stream of water, making sure to remove all soap residue.
Driveway restorations
How it's done
High Pressure Clean the Driveway (5000 psi): Our first step involves a thorough and high-pressure cleaning of your driveway. With equipment rated at 5000 psi, even the toughest dirt, oil stains, and grime are removed, revitalizing the driveway's appearance.
Etch Driveway with Stiff Broom & Cleaning Solution: After the initial cleaning, we take an extra step to enhance your driveway's surface. We utilize a stiff broom and a specialized cleaning solution to enhance the porosity of your driveway to ensure you get maximum adhesion when sealing.
Mask Up Areas Where Needed: Prior to applying coatings, we carefully mask up areas that require protection. This ensures that adjacent surfaces, such as walls or landscaping, remain clean and undamaged during the restoration process.
Apply 2 Coats of Colored Concrete Sealer in the Color of Your Choice: To complete the restoration, we apply two coats of high-quality Colored Concrete Sealer. You can choose the color that best suits your preferences. The sealer not only imparts a fresh and vibrant look to your driveway but also acts as a protective barrier, guarding against UV rays, oil stains, and general wear and tear, thus extending the life of your driveway.

Cutting an Opening: We carefully cut an opening in the roof to accommodate the skylight. This step ensures a proper fit and seals any gaps effectively.
Skylight Installation: We then proceed to install the chosen skylight, whether it's a dome or a glass window. This includes securing the skylight in place and ensuring it's weatherproof.
Finishing Touches: We take care of any finishing touches, such as sealing around the skylight to prevent leaks and insulating to maintain your home's energy efficiency.
