FAQs

There are a few tell-tale signs to watch for. Obvious ones include active leaks inside the house, water stains on ceilings, or tiles that are cracked, slipped or missing altogether. On colorbond roofs, keep an eye out for rust spots, especially around screws, valleys and joins. Moss, lichen or dark streaking across the roof surface is another common giveaway in Townsville’s humid climate, as is a roof that just looks dirty, faded or tired compared to how it used to. That said, not every issue means you need a full restoration — sometimes it’s just a handful of loose tiles or a section of damaged flashing, and a simple repair will sort you out. The best way to know for sure is to get a qualified roofer out for an inspection so you’re not paying for more work than you actually need.

As a rough guide, roof restorations typically run somewhere between $70 and $130 per square metre. That figure covers the cleaning and coating/painting process itself but usually doesn’t include materials for repairs, replacement tiles or sheets, or major structural work — those get quoted separately once an inspection has identified what’s actually needed. Where your roof lands within that range depends on a few things: the total roof area, how steep or accessible it is (a tricky two-storey roof with limited access costs more to work on than a simple single-storey), the roofing material (tile versus colorbond restorations use different products and processes), and the extent of any repairs required. Because every roof and every house is different, the only way to get an accurate number is a free, no-obligation quote after a proper on-site inspection.

Most roof restorations are completed in under a week, and plenty of straightforward jobs are wrapped up in as little as two days. The exact timeframe comes down to a handful of factors: the overall condition of the roof and how much repair work is needed before cleaning and coating can begin, how accessible the roof is, Townsville’s weather (coatings need dry conditions to cure properly, so a run of wet weather can push things out), and occasionally material availability or public holidays affecting scheduling. our roofing team will give you a realistic timeframe as part of your quote so you know what to expect before work kicks off.

Yes, absolutely. We only work with experienced roofing roofers who hold the necessary trade licences, current insurance and any relevant registrations required to legally carry out roofing work in Queensland. This matters more than most people realise — an unlicensed or uninsured operator might offer a cheaper quote, but if something goes wrong on the job (or the workmanship fails down the track) you’ve got no protection. Every member of our roofing team has been checked for the right credentials and genuine local roofing experience, so you can have confidence in the work being done on your home.

Definitely. A proper roofing job shouldn’t leave you with a mess to deal with afterwards. Old tile fragments, packaging, offcuts and general debris are all cleared away, and the site — including gutters, gardens and driveways — is left in the same condition it was found in, minus the tired old roof. If you ever notice anything left behind, just flag it with our roofing team and it’ll be sorted.

Roof restoration is a big part of what we help arrange, but it’s far from the only thing. our roofing team handle pretty much anything roofing-related, including general roof repairs (leaks, storm damage, broken tiles or sheets), full roof replacements when a roof is too far gone for restoration, gutter and downpipe replacement or repairs, roof inspections and reports (handy for pre-purchase checks or insurance purposes), re-roofing, ridge capping and flashing work, and ventilation upgrades. If you’re not sure whether your issue calls for a quick repair or something bigger, get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction — no pressure, just honest advice.

It’s a pretty simple process from start to finish. First, you’ll speak with a consultant over the phone who’ll ask a few questions about your roof and what’s going on with it. From there, an inspection time is arranged — one of our roofers comes out to your property, gets up on the roof (or uses appropriate access equipment), and properly assesses its condition. Following the inspection, you’re given a written, itemised quote so there’s no confusion about what’s included. You then take the time you need to decide — there’s no obligation to proceed. If you’re happy to go ahead, the finer details get sorted, including material choices, colours and scheduling, before work begins. The whole aim is to make the process straightforward and transparent, without any pushy sales tactics.

Yes. Roof restorations we help arrange typically come backed by a 10-year warranty, giving you genuine peace of mind that the workmanship and coating system will hold up over the long term. Living in North Queensland, your roof cops a beating from intense UV, tropical downpours and the occasional cyclone, so it’s reassuring to know the work is guaranteed rather than a one-and-done job. Warranty terms can vary slightly depending on the specific products and roofer used, so make sure to ask for the details in writing as part of your quote.

It’s one of the smartest things a Townsville homeowner can do. With cyclone season rolling around every year, a roof with loose tiles, ageing flashing, worn sealant or hidden rust is far more likely to fail under wind pressure and driving rain, and a small pre-existing issue can turn into a major leak or structural problem once a storm hits. Getting an inspection done ahead of the wet season means any weak points get repaired while conditions are calm, rather than discovering them mid-storm. It’s a straightforward, low-cost step that can save you a lot of stress (and money) later on.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for assistance through the Queensland Government’s Household Resilience Program, which offers grants to help homeowners strengthen their roofs against cyclone damage — think upgraded roof-to-wall connections, improved fixings and general resilience work. Eligibility criteria and funding rounds can change, so it’s worth checking current availability, but if you think you might qualify, mention it when you get in touch and we can help point you toward the right information as part of your quote.
