Residential Roofing Solutions

Don't underestimate the importance of your decision. There are advantages and disadvantages with both products.

• Unlike painted surfaces, it will not flake, peel or blister under the harsh weather conditions that a roof is exposed to.
• Many people use Colorbond so they can match or complement the colour of their home. There is a good range of colours to choose from.

• If you decide to use Colorbond, you will be 'locked in' to the colour you choose. You can paint it later on down the track if you get sick of the colour but the process is very expensive because of the difficulty of trying to get the new paint to adhere to the existing bonded surface.
• Colorbond attracts more heat than Zincalume.The darker the colour the more heat it will attract. You may need to consider the use of insulation to compensate.
• Colorbond as a product is more expensive than Zincalume.
• If you choose Colorbond, the colour schemes of the rest of your home will always be governed by colour of the roof. You will reduce your flexibility.
• The latter could become a problem when it comes to selling your home because the potential buyer may at some stage decide they want to change the colour of the house and will realize that their colour options are now extremely limited.
• After a few years, the dark colours tend to fade and begin to look tired and tardy.

Zincalume is steel that is dipped in a zinc based product to give a protective coating. To create Colorbond sheeting, the same procedure is carried out. This is then taken one step further. The Zinc coils are placed in an oven and the colour is then baked and bonded onto the zincalume coating. Hence the name 'Colorbond'.

Yes, all the old materials, debris and offcuts are stacked neatly in one or two piles during the job. This material is collected by our rubbish contractor or our own skip bin company usually on the day of completion.

Unfortunately it can be very noisy especially during the removal of the old sheeting.

No you do not need to move out but our roofing tradesmen will ensure they identify areas of danger especially at the location where the old sheeting is being removed from the roof. It is a must that you, the home owner or the owner's tenant be aware of the potential dangers and keep away from working areas. In the event we are removing asbestos fibro sheeting, we advise that you stay indoors and keep all windows closed during the removal procedure or go out during the time we are working during the day.

It is very unlikely that this would happen, as absolute care is taken when removing your roof.
If there is are clouds around or it looks like there is a possibility that it may rain, we may cease work altogether depending on the extent of the threat or we may decide to remove small sections at a time and then cover these areas as we go. We have emergency tarps on stand-by in the event that we fail to close a section in before it rains. There is always a small risk of water entry so we have extensive insurance policies in place to cover these risks. Our roofing tradesmen are very experienced in dealing with poor weather conditions

Between fifty to seventy years depending on your geographical location. For example: Close proximity to the ocean where your roof could be exposed to salt air or to an industrial area where omissions from factories can adversely affect the new roof surface. Both of these situations have the potential to reduce the life span of your roof. There are even higher quality metal roofing materials that can be used to combat extreme condition but they are generally more expensive.

Yes, we visit your premises at a mutually convenient time and comprehensively measure your roof and gutter. We actually measure every component of your roof, from on top of your roof. This gives us the advantage of accuracy over other roofing companies and eliminates any guess work and assumptions. Other roofing companies may merely measure from the ground or just get an idea from Google Earth on their computers. We are thus able to calculate a price for you that we know cannot be beaten. And of course this service is entirely free. Our representatives are then readily available to answer any questions once you have our quote; usually within 48 hours of measuring!
