When Another Repair Stops Being Worth It
There is a point where a roof stops being repairable in any way that makes financial sense. Rust that has spread past the fixings, sheets that have lost their coating, tiles cracking faster than you can replace them.
You can tell because the callouts get closer together. One leak this winter, two the next, and each fix only holds until the next big storm. Meanwhile water is getting into the battens, the insulation and the ceilings.
A full replacement draws a line under it. We strip the old roof back, deal with whatever is underneath, and install a new one that will outlast most of the other decisions you make about the house.

What Separates A Good Re-Roof From A Cheap One
Once the new sheets are down, every roof looks fine from the street. The difference between a roof that lasts forty years and one that leaks in five is all in the parts you will never see again.
We replace the flashings rather than reusing the old ones, check and repair battens while the roof is open, and set the sheets out so the laps and fixings land where the standard says they should.

Absolutely brilliant to deal with, prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, and his workmanship is amazing. We would definitely recommend Michael and we will be using his services again on some future projects.
Google - Michael B Home Owner
We recently bought our house, which was only five years old, and unfortunately discovered extensive roof issues that had not been built to Australian standards. After speaking with several roofers, Michael came across as the most professional and helpful. He was prompt, meticulous, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.
Google - Aleksandar Andonov Home Owner
The team was professional and detail-oriented from start to finish. They replaced my old tile roof with a new tin roof, restored damaged areas, and installed new fascia and gutters. Their work quality is outstanding, and they completed everything on time and within budget.

Roof Replacement Questions
The main drivers are roof size, pitch, access and what has to happen underneath. A single storey metal re-roof with good access is the cheapest scenario. Two storey work needing scaffolding, extensive batten repairs, or asbestos removal all add to it. Contact us for a free quote.
A typical single storey house is usually a few days to a week on site. Larger or more complex roofs, or jobs involving asbestos removal, take longer. We give you a timeframe with the quote and let you know if weather is going to move it.
No. We only strip as much roof as we can re-sheet and make watertight in the same day, and we work to the forecast. Your home stays protected throughout, and you can keep living in it while the work happens.
A like for like roof replacement usually does not need a building permit, but changing from tiles to metal, altering the roof profile, or work on a heritage overlay property can. We will tell you at quote stage whether your job needs anything and point you in the right direction.
Insurers generally cover sudden damage such as storms or fallen trees rather than gradual wear. If your roof has been damaged in a storm we can inspect it, document the damage properly and give your insurer what they need to assess the claim.
We cover Melbourne's South East, from Cranbourne and Pakenham through to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Check our areas we serve page, or call 0478 831 069 and we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you.
A Closer Look At Roof Replacement In Melbourne
Metal Roof Replacement
Most of the roofs we replace across Melbourne go back on in Colorbond. It handles the temperature swings, it sheds water fast, and a properly installed metal roof will comfortably see out several decades with almost no maintenance.
Replacing a metal roof is more than swapping sheets. We check the battens for rot and rust, correct spacings that were never right, install new sarking and insulation, and replace every flashing, valley and capping. Reusing old flashings on a new roof is one of the most common shortcuts we see, and it is the reason plenty of five year old roofs leak.

Flat roofs are not really flat. They need a consistent fall to a gutter or outlet, and once that fall is lost through sagging or a bad original install, water sits on the roof and finds its way through the laps. Ponding is the single biggest cause of flat roof failure we see on Melbourne homes and commercial buildings.
We rebuild flat and low pitch roofs with the right sheet profile for the pitch, set the falls properly, and detail the upstands, parapets and outlets so the water has somewhere to go in heavy rain. Where a box gutter is involved, we size the overflow provision to comply.

Plenty of garages, sheds, carports and older houses around Melbourne still carry corrugated cement sheet roofing that contains asbestos. While it is intact and undisturbed it is generally left alone, but once it starts cracking, weathering or leaking it needs to come off.
Asbestos removal is licensed work. We coordinate licensed removalists to take the old roof off and dispose of it legally with the paperwork to prove it, then install the new metal roof once the site is cleared. You deal with us for the whole job rather than managing two trades yourself.

Terracotta and concrete tile roofs are everywhere in Melbourne's older suburbs, and they reach an age where the pointing has gone, tiles are cracking underfoot, and the sarking beneath has broken down. Restoring buys you time, but on a roof that far gone it is money spent on a maintenance cycle that starts again in a decade.
Going to metal ends that cycle. A Colorbond roof weighs roughly a tenth of what tiles do, so the existing frame is almost always more than strong enough. We strip the tiles, batten out for the new profile, install sarking and insulation, and lay the sheets. It also gives you the chance to change the look of the house completely.
