Key Takeaways
- Roof substrate (concrete, metal, membrane, tile) directly changes preparatory work, testing needs and repair scope — these are the main cost levers.
- Major cost drivers are condition (existing damage), access/logistics, necessary repairs, and the choice between coating, liquid membrane or full membrane replacement.
- In Dubai, heat, UV and dust increase the need for surface preparation and robust detailing—skip those and you risk short‑term failures and repeat works.
- Book an inspection that explicitly lists substrate condition, adhesion tests and recommended repairs to get a firm, comparative quote.
