AfterOur Specialties
Two honest paths to a roof that lasts — we recommend restoration whenever the tiles allow, and replacement only when they don't.
Sound tiles with a worn surface? We strip back frost-cracked pointing and faded coating, rebuilding the weatherproofing — for a fraction of a re-roof.
When a roof is past saving, we replace it properly — tile or Colorbond, old roof stripped and carted away, new sarking and gutters included.

Our Most Popular Upgrade
Tile-to-metal roof replacements are one of the smartest upgrades a Canberra home can make — and one of our specialties.
Straight Answers
It's a full renewal of your existing roof — deep clean, replace broken tiles, re-bed and repoint the ridge caps, then seal and coat the surface. On a structurally sound Canberra roof it rebuilds the weatherproofing and adds 10–15 years for a fraction of the cost of a re-roof.
When restoration can't fix the underlying problem: porous or hail-shattered tiles, repeated leaks despite repairs, sagging or failed battens, badly rusted metal, or a roof simply at the end of a 50-year life. We inspect and tell you honestly which way to go.
Three local forces: winter frost and freeze-thaw that cracks old ridge pointing, summer hail that shatters brittle tiles, and the leaf litter from Canberra's tree canopy that blocks valleys and gutters. Together they're behind most of the roof problems we see across the city.
A restoration is usually a few days, weather permitting. A full replacement runs from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size and whether you're converting tile to metal. We confirm the timeline in your fixed quote and update you daily on site.
Our coating system carries a 15-year warranty*, and a properly restored roof typically performs well beyond it — because the re-bedding and flexible repointing underneath are built to handle Canberra's frost cycling, not just the coating on top.
Ceiling stains, cracked or slipped tiles, crumbling ridge-cap mortar, rust spots on metal, moss on shaded faces, and grit washing into the gutters. Catching these early is the difference between a small repair and a major job — and a free inspection makes it easy.

In November 2025 I had a full roof restoration completed before my solar panels were installed, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Andrew and the team were caring, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout.
Andrew was so knowledgeable and showed me what was wrong with my roof — which was a lot! He kept me updated every step of the way, and the workers were polite and respectful. I couldn't be happier with the result. It looks fantastic.
After another company took advantage of us, we reached out to Paul and were more than impressed by his knowledge, professionalism and communication. Very sympathetic to our situation, and a very competitive cost. Highly recommend Paul and his team.
Responded quick to our enquiry and showed us photos of what needed doing. Every call was answered with friendliness and a 'yep, we can do that' attitude — and the end product was well worth it.

It comes down to the condition of the tiles or sheets. If they're structurally sound and just worn, a restoration renews the weatherproofing for a fraction of a re-roof and adds 10–15 years. If the tiles are porous or hail-shattered, or a metal roof is badly rusted, replacement is the better long-term value. We inspect first and give you an honest verdict — restoration where it stacks up, replacement only when it's genuinely needed.
It depends on the roof's size, pitch, access and condition, so there's no single number — but a restoration is consistently a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. Rather than guess, we inspect your roof and give you a fixed written quote up front; the price we quote is the price you pay unless the scope changes.
Canberra's frost is the main culprit. The freeze-thaw cycle works on old, rigid ridge pointing until it cracks and lets water in, and summer hail does the rest on brittle tiles. Add the leaf litter from Canberra's tree canopy blocking valleys and gutters, and you have the three causes behind most of the leaks we repair.
A roof restoration is usually a few days, weather permitting. A full replacement runs from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size, structure and whether you're converting tile to metal. We confirm the timeframe in your quote and keep you updated on site each day.
