FAQs

We recommend a professional inspection at least every 2–3 years for most homes in the Coffs Harbour area, and more frequently if you’re in a coastal suburb where salt air accelerates corrosion and surface breakdown. Regular inspections catch problems early — before they become expensive. All our inspections are free and obligation-free.

A roof restoration is a thorough surface renewal — cleaning, repairs, repointing, sealing, and repainting — that extends the life of your existing roof by 15–20 years. It’s suitable for roofs where the underlying structure is sound but the surface is showing its age. A roof replacement is a complete tear-off and re-roof, typically required when the structure itself is compromised or the tiles/sheets are too degraded to be restored effectively. Nathan will give you an honest assessment of which option is right for your specific situation — and if restoration is viable, he’ll always recommend that as the more cost-effective approach.

Most residential roof restorations take 1–3 days to complete, depending on the size of the roof, the extent of repairs required, and weather conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe as part of your written quote. We work efficiently and don’t drag jobs out — but we also never rush at the expense of quality.

Our full roof restoration process includes:

1. High-pressure washing to remove all dirt, lichen, moss, and loose material
2. Inspection and repair of all cracked, broken, or displaced tiles (or damaged metal sheets)
3. Re-bedding and repointing of all ridge caps
4. Application of a quality primer/sealer coat to the entire roof surface
5. Application of premium roof paint in your choice of colour
6. Final inspection and clean-up

We offer a 10 Year Warranty on our roof restoration work. This is a genuine warranty that reflects our confidence in the quality of our workmanship and the materials we use. We use premium, Australian-approved roof coatings that are formulated for coastal conditions, and we apply them correctly every time.

It depends on the underlying structure. Many older roofs — even 30, 40, or 50-year-old tile roofs — can be successfully restored if the tiles themselves are structurally intact and the roof frame is in good condition. Nathan will give you an honest assessment during the inspection. If restoration isn’t viable, he’ll explain exactly why and outline your replacement options.

With a full restoration, we typically repaint the entire roof surface, which means colour matching is less of an issue — we apply a uniform coat across all tiles. We have a range of colours available and can advise you on what works best for your roof type and your home’s overall appearance. For spot repairs, we do our best to match existing tiles, though an exact match isn’t always possible depending on the age and type of tile.

Yes. We offer a full range of gutter services including cleaning, repairs, replacement, and gutter guard installation. Gutters are an important part of your roof’s drainage system, and neglecting them can lead to water damage, fascia rot, and structural issues. We often address gutter work as part of a broader roof restoration project.

Absolutely. Roof leaks are one of the most common calls we receive. A leak might be caused by a cracked tile, a failed flashing, deteriorated valley material, blocked or overflowing gutters, or a combination of issues. We don’t just patch the obvious spot — we identify the underlying cause and fix it properly. That’s how we prevent the same problem from recurring.
