01Inspection & quote
I assess the roof and structure, talk through material and colour options, and give you a clear fixed quote.
When a roof is past restoring, a proper replacement is the smart move. I'll give you honest advice on whether you really need one, then re-roof it right. Free quote from a qualified Melbourne roofer.
A full replacement is a big spend, so I'll always tell you honestly whether you need one. Plenty of tired-looking roofs can be restored for a fraction of the cost. But when a roof is genuinely at the end of its life, patching it up is throwing good money after bad.
A replacement is usually the right call when your roof has widespread damage, the tiles are cracking or fretting across the whole roof, there is structural sagging, or it is simply too old and worn to restore. I'll look at it, give you the real picture, and quote both options where it makes sense.
The two get confused a lot. Here's the difference so you can see which fits your roof.
| Roof Restoration | Roof Replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | A tired but structurally sound roof | A roof past its life or badly damaged |
| Typical cost | $4,000 โ $7,500 | $15,000+ |
| Adds to roof life | 12 โ 15 years | 20 โ 25 years |
| Time on site | 4 โ 5 days | 1 โ 2 weeks |
| Keeps existing structure | Yes | No, the roof is replaced |
We re-roof existing homes in the material that suits your place and budget:
Colorbond steel: light, tough, low maintenance and available in a big range of colours

Metal and corrugated iron: durable and cost-effective, ideal for many roof shapes
We match new work to your existing roofline and gutters so it looks right, not patched. Note that we re-roof existing homes rather than build new roofs from scratch on extensions.
