1. Phone call and booking
Tell us about the roof: age, material, any leaks, and whether you're near the coast. We book a time to look.
2. On-site inspection
We measure every roof face and check the sheet or tiles, flashings, gutters and battens. Where we can, we look inside the roof space. If asbestos is suspected, we arrange testing.
3. Written quote
An itemised quote with steel type, profile, colour, sarking, batten allowance, gutters, extras and a timeframe. Work over $5,000 comes with a written NSW home building contract.
4. Approvals and scheduling
If you're in a heritage conservation area, we sort out the council side first. We order materials in your chosen colour and lock in a start date that works around the weather forecast.
5. Set-up
Scaffolding or edge protection goes up and a skip arrives. We'll ask you to move cars and anything fragile away from the walls.
6. Strip-off, one section at a time
Old roofing comes off in sections so the house is never left open overnight. Asbestos removal is handled separately by a licensed removalist.
7. Battens, sarking and sheeting
Damaged battens are replaced and sarking or an insulation blanket goes down. New sheets are then fixed to the manufacturer's spec for your wind rating, followed by flashings and ridge capping.
8. Gutters, downpipes and extras
New gutters and downpipes, then skylights, vents and solar going back on.
9. Clean-up and walk-through
We do a magnetic sweep for screws and offcuts, clear the gutters and walk the job with you. You get warranty paperwork and the product information for your records.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stay home during a roof replacement?
Yes. Most people stay put. It's noisy during the day, and you'll need to keep kids and pets clear of the work area, but the house stays covered every night.
What happens if it rains mid-job?
We watch the forecast and only open as much roof as we can close the same day. If rain comes in unexpectedly, exposed sections are covered straight away.
