Written quote in 48 hours. Fixed start date. A named crew on every job, start to finish. Re-roofs, repairs and restorations from Merimbula to Eden.
Salt air, East Coast lows, and three decades of summer sun do things to a roof that an inland Sydney roofer never sees. Most coastal failures show up on the same four signs, well before the leak starts. If you can see any of these on your roof, you've got two or three years left, not ten.
The fastener heads corrode first because the cap is the highest exposed point. Once you can see the streaks running down the sheets, the seal between the screw and the roof is gone. Water finds the gap on the next storm.
Tile and metal both hold lichen on the southern face where the sun never dries it out. The colonies trap moisture against the surface twenty-four hours a day. On tile, that's how cracks open at the ridge line. On Colorbond, it's how the coating chalks and peels.
After about fifteen years on the coast, the Colorbond coating fails first at the sheet edge above the gutter. The drip line is where salt water sits longest between rain events. If you can see flaking or fading along that edge, the rest of the sheet is following.
On older tile roofs (1970s and 80s build), the surface crumbles in a process called fretting. Salt accelerates it. You'll see grit washing into the gutters after rain, and the tile colour goes patchy. It's not cosmetic, the tile is losing structural integrity.
Three services, each priced before we start the job. We tell you which Colorbond grade your home needs (Ultra within 5km of the coast, standard inland) and why, in writing, before we lift a sheet.
Strip the old roof, replace the underlay if needed, install Colorbond Ultra or marine-grade steel on coastal homes. Five to ten working days for a standard single-storey home. Fixed price in your quote before the first sheet comes off.
See re-roofing detailsTile replacement, ridge re-bedding, flashing replacement, storm damage, leak diagnosis. We climb up, find the actual cause, and tell you whether it's a fix or whether the roof is past repair. Honest answer either way.
See repair detailsPressure clean, re-point and re-bed where needed, primer, two-coat recoat with manufacturer-warranted product. For tiles and Colorbond where the structure is sound but the surface is failing. Lifts the look of the house and adds another fifteen years.
See restoration detailsMost roofers promise quality work, fair pricing, and excellent communication. So do we. Here's what makes ours different: every promise below is on the quote we send you, and the contract you sign, before any work starts.
Most quotes don't show up at all. Yours arrives within two working days, in writing, with the materials specified, the work scope itemised, and a fixed start date. If we miss the 48 hours, we tell you why before the deadline passes.
You'll meet the tradesmen who'll be on your roof when we come to quote. Their names go on your contract. No subcontractors swapped in mid-job. No new faces every morning.
Your quote names the day we'll be on site. No "we'll get to it when we can." If weather or a scheduled job overruns and we need to move it, we tell you a week ahead and lock in the new date. You always know what's next.
The price on your quote is the price you pay. If we get up there and find something we didn't expect (rotted batten, damaged sarking, a hidden flashing problem), we stop, photograph it, send you a written variation, and only carry on once you've signed it off. No "we'll sort the bill at the end". No mid-job phone calls asking for another few thousand.
All four are printed on every quote we send.
Each of these is a real local home. We've named the suburb and the year. If you'd like a reference from a homeowner near you, ask when we quote, we'll put you in touch.
Quoted exactly what they said they would. Showed up on the day they said. Cleaned up properly at the end of each day. Roof looks better than the day we bought the place.
We'd had three other roofers look at the leak before Merimbula Roofing. They were the first ones who actually went up and inspected the whole thing instead of guessing. Fixed it the first time.
We're in Canberra, the house is in Tathra. They sent us photos at the end of each day and the job came in on the quoted price. Made the whole thing painless.
