I get up on your Rowville roof, find the real cause of the problem and walk you through what it needs, with photos.
Rowville went up mostly through the 1980s and 90s, and those roofs are now hitting the age where they need their first proper restoration. I'm Ryan, a local roofer with over 20 years on the tools. Free inspection, honest advice, and a 10-year guarantee.
Rowville is one of Knox's big family-estate suburbs, most of it built out through the 1980s and 90s on generous blocks near the Dandenong foothills. That means a lot of larger, double-storey brick-veneer homes, plenty with concrete tile roofs and a fair share of Colorbond on the newer builds and extensions. Those tile roofs are now 30 to 40 years old, which is exactly when the pointing lets go and the tile coating fades out.
Being up near the ranges, Rowville roofs cop more wind and more leaf litter off the surrounding gums than the inner suburbs do. We see gutters backing up and moss on the shaded southern faces a lot around here. None of it is a drama if you catch it early, and that is what a free inspection is for.
Drag the slider across one of our recent Melbourne restorations. It went from faded and worn to watertight and sharp, and it is the same three-coat finish your Rowville roof would get.

Tick the signs you're seeing on your roof and I'll tell you whether it's a repair or a full restoration you're likely looking at.

On the 1980s and 90s tile roofs around Rowville, these are the issues that come up most:
Perished, cracked ridge-cap pointing on 30 to 40 year old concrete tile roofs
Faded and chalky tiles that make a big double-storey home look tired
Chalking and surface rust on older Colorbond roofs, carports and extensions
Gutters and valleys clogged with leaf litter off the surrounding gums
Moss and lichen on the shaded southern faces near the foothills
Cracked or slipped tiles after the wind gusts that come off the ranges
Most of these are fixable with a restoration rather than a full re-roof, and I will tell you honestly which your roof needs.

02We pressure wash the roof, re-bed and re-point the ridge caps with flexible pointing, replace broken tiles and sort out valleys and flashings.
03We prime the roof and roll on three coats of Globalcoat or Shieldcoat membrane in your colour, backed by a 10-year guarantee.
Most Rowville homes are a single or double-storey tile roof. Pick your roof type and size for an indicative price, then book a free inspection for the exact quote.
Indicative only. Your exact price depends on roof size, pitch and condition. The inspection and quote are always free.
We're local to the area, so we cover Rowville and the suburbs around it.
For a typical tile roof (around 180 to 220mยฒ) a full restoration usually runs between $4,000 and $7,500. Rowville has a lot of bigger double-storey homes, which sit at the upper end. Colorbond re-coats are priced per roof. Every job is quoted free after an inspection.
A 30 year old roof is right on schedule for its first restoration. The tiles are usually still sound, but the pointing and the original coating have worn out, so a restoration brings it back for years without a re-roof.
Yes. Plenty of Rowville homes and extensions are Colorbond. We pressure wash it, treat any rust, prime the metal and finish with colour membrane. It brings a faded metal roof back to a deep, even colour.
If the tiles are sound and it is the pointing and coating that have gone, restoration is the smart spend. If the tiles are cracking across the whole roof, replacement makes more sense. A free inspection sorts it out.
As well as Rowville, we regularly work in Wheelers Hill, Lysterfield, Ferntree Gully, Scoresby, Wantirna South and Mulgrave. If you are nearby and not sure, give me a call.
