About Roof Restoration Coffs Harbour
If you’ve been searching for a reliable, experienced roofer in Coffs Harbour, you’ve found the right place. Roof Restoration Coffs Harbour is a locally owned and operated roofing business built on quality work, honest advice, and a genuine commitment to the community we serve.
We’re not a faceless franchise — we’re a tight-knit team of professionals who take real pride in what we do.
At the heart of everything we do is Nathan Locke, founder and lead roofer at MTEC Roofing. Nathan has spent 25 years in the roofing industry, working across residential and commercial projects throughout Coffs Harbour and the wider Mid North Coast region. His depth of experience, hands-on approach, and commitment to doing things properly have earned him a reputation as one of the most trusted roofers in the area. When you choose Roof Restoration Coffs Harbour, you’re choosing a tradesperson with a proven track record, not a salesperson in a hard hat.
Nathan Locke — 25 Years of Roofing Excellence
Nathan didn’t stumble into the roofing industry — he’s been dedicated to it for over two decades. Starting out as a tradesman and working his way up through every aspect of the craft, Nathan has accumulated an impressive breadth of practical knowledge that’s hard to replicate. He’s worked on everything from modest residential repairs to extensive commercial roof replacements, and he brings that same level of care and expertise to every single job he takes on, no matter the size.
Over the course of a 25-year career, Nathan has seen just about every kind of roofing problem imaginable — and solved most of them more than once. Crumbling ridge caps, corroded metal roofing, storm-smashed tile sections, failed flashings, persistent leaks that stumped previous tradespeople — there’s very little that surprises him. That experience translates directly into better outcomes for his clients. Instead of guessing or trialling solutions, Nathan diagnoses problems accurately and applies the right fix the first time.
What sets Nathan apart isn’t just his technical ability — it’s his approach. He believes in doing the job right the first time, using quality materials, and giving clients honest, transparent advice about what their roof actually needs. He won’t upsell you on work that isn’t necessary, and he won’t cut corners to save time or materials.
When Nathan says the job is done, you can trust that it’s done properly — and when he gives you a warranty on his restoration work, it means something.
Nathan is fully licensed and insured in accordance with NSW contractor licensing requirements. Licensing matters — it protects you as a homeowner and ensures the person working on your roof has been assessed as competent to do so safely and correctly. Before any roofing company starts work on your home, always ask for their licence and insurance details. We’re proud to provide ours to any client who asks.
What We Do
Roof Restoration Coffs Harbour offers a comprehensive range of roofing services for homeowners and property managers across the Coffs Harbour region and surrounding areas. Our work spans the full lifecycle of a roof — from routine maintenance and repairs through to complete restorations and full replacements.
We’re experienced with both metal and tile roofs, which covers the vast majority of homes in our service area. Whether your roof is terracotta tile, concrete tile, Colorbond steel, corrugated iron, or aluminium sheeting, we have the skills and the right tools for the job. We understand how different materials age in the coastal and hinterland conditions of the Mid North Coast, and we know what maintenance approaches work best for each type.
Our most popular service is the full roof restoration — a thorough process that includes high-pressure cleaning to remove all lichen, moss, dirt and loose material; repairs and repointing of ridge caps; the application of a quality roof sealer; and a fresh coat of premium roof paint. Done properly, a roof restoration can add 15–20 years to the life of your roof and dramatically improve your home’s appearance and kerb appeal. We back all our restoration work with a 10 Year Warranty — genuine piece of mind for homeowners who want to protect their investment.
We also handle roof repairs of all kinds — from a single broken tile to extensive storm damage — as well as roof replacements, gutter work, gutter cleaning and replacement, roof cleaning, painting, flashing installation, skylight work, and more. You can browse our full list of services on the Services page.
Our Values — What Drives Us
We’ve built this business on a set of values that guide everything we do:
Honesty above all
We tell our clients what they need to hear, not what’s most profitable to say. If a simple repair will do the job, we’ll recommend that — not a full replacement. If a roof is genuinely beyond repair, we’ll explain why in plain language and give you your options.
Quality workmanship
We use premium materials and proper techniques on every job. There are no shortcuts, no second-rate products, no “she’ll be right” attitudes here. Every job gets the same commitment to quality.
Respect for your home
We treat every property with care. We arrive on time, work cleanly, and leave the site tidy when we’re done. All debris and old materials are removed and disposed of responsibly.
Clear communication
From the initial quote to the final walk-through, we keep clients informed at every step. No surprises, no hidden costs. You’ll know what we’re doing and why before we start.
Community pride
Coffs Harbour is our home. We care about the community, we care about our reputation in it, and we want to leave every neighbourhood a little better than we found it.
Why Local Matters
When you hire a local roofing business, you get something you simply can’t get from a national chain or an out-of-town operator: accountability. Nathan and his team live and work in this community. Their reputation is built house by house, street by street, suburb by suburb. That means they have every reason to do excellent work — their next job very often depends on it.
Local knowledge also makes a tangible difference to the quality of the work. Our team understands the specific challenges that the Coffs Harbour climate presents — the coastal salt air, the elevated humidity, the intense UV exposure, the storm patterns that roll in off the Pacific. We know which materials stand up best in these conditions, and we know how to prepare and seal a roof to handle whatever the Mid North Coast throws at it. That knowledge simply can’t be replicated by someone who’s only ever worked inland.
There’s also the question of follow-up. When you work with a local business, you know where to find them if something doesn’t go to plan. Not that it will — but it’s reassuring to know that Nathan Locke isn’t going to take your money and head interstate. We’re here, we’re invested in this community, and we stand behind every job we do.
Free On-Site Inspections and Written Quotes — No Obligation
We offer free on-site inspections to all new clients — no obligation, no pressure, no hidden charges. Nathan or one of our experienced team members will visit your property, inspect your roof thoroughly, and provide you with a clear, itemised written quote that explains exactly what needs doing and why.
We find that many homeowners appreciate the inspection process not just for the quote, but for the education it provides. Nathan takes the time to explain what he’s seeing, walk you through the condition of your roof, and answer any questions you might have. By the end of the inspection, you’ll have a clear picture of your roof’s current condition and a proper understanding of your options — whether that’s a minor repair, a full restoration, or something in between.
There’s never any obligation to proceed. We want you to have the information you need to make the right decision for your home and your budget — and we trust that when you’re ready to go ahead, you’ll remember the team who gave you a straight answer.
Licensed, Insured and Ready to Help
All our work is carried out in accordance with Australian standards and NSW building regulations. We hold all required licences and maintain current insurance coverage — including public liability and workers’ compensation — to protect both our clients and our team on every job.
If you’re ever unsure about a roofer’s credentials, don’t be shy about asking. Reputable tradespeople have nothing to hide and every reason to be transparent. We’ll always provide our licence number and insurance details upfront, without hesitation.
