Not until the leak source has been investigated and the repairs are done. Water travels from a flashing, a penetration, a lap or a valley before it appears indoors, so the stain is rarely directly under the defect. Painting first gives you a uniform looking roof with the same problem underneath it.

It depends on the specific material, its condition and whatever is already on the surface. Some roofs take a compatible finish well once repairs and preparation are done. Others are unsuitable, or need a different maintenance approach entirely. Inspection is the safe starting point rather than a colour chart.

The dry season gives more predictable opportunities, but every day still needs checking for roof temperature, dew, wind and rain risk. A suitable application window matters far more than picking a month and pressing on regardless of what the roof surface is doing.

There is no useful fixed interval that applies to every property. Exposure, roof material, surrounding vegetation, drainage, previous work and severe weather events all change it. Regular visual checks from the ground and condition-based inspections beat waiting for a calendar date.

Lighter colours absorb less solar energy than darker ones, so it helps. Colour on its own does not decide indoor comfort though. Insulation, ventilation, ceiling condition, roof design and building orientation all matter, and a coating cannot compensate for a poorly insulated ceiling.

No, and we will not say otherwise. Preparation for cyclone season is about condition, secure components and clear drainage. A coating protects the surface. It does nothing for fixings, structure or what the wind does to loose material.
