Baldivis sits in Perth's southern growth corridor, so the roofs down there run from nearly new to a couple of decades old. That is a wide spread, and it is exactly why we will not put a price on one from a photo.
People ring us and lead with the age, as if that settles it. It does not. What settles it is the pointing on the ridge caps, whether tiles have cracked or slipped, and how much moss is sitting up there holding water against the tile.
We have been on twenty five year old roofs that wanted a clean and a re-point, and on much younger roofs where the pointing was already crumbling. The only honest way to know which one you own is for somebody to climb up and look, and that part costs you nothing.
The free onsite assessment is not a bloke glancing up from the driveway. Somebody gets on the roof and works through it properly: the condition of the pointing along every ridge and hip, tiles that are cracked, slipped or have been walked on, the valleys, the flashings around vents and skylights, and how much moss and lichen is sitting up there holding moisture against the tile.
Then the gutters and the fascia line, because that is where a slow problem hides the longest and costs the most by the time it shows itself indoors.
You get told what was found, including the parts that are perfectly fine. Writing a list of everything wrong with a roof is easy. Writing the list of what genuinely needs money spent on it this year is the useful one, and that is the list you get.
There is no charge for it and nothing to sign at the end. If the honest answer is that your roof is good for another few years, that is the answer you will get.
Being in Baldivis does not change what we charge. What changes it is which of these three your roof is actually asking for, and that gets decided on the roof rather than over the phone. Every one of these ranges is broken down line by line in the cost guide.
Structurally fine, just filthy. Moss, lichen and grime off under high pressure, gutters flushed out, no coating required. $800 to $2,000.
Caps lifting and pointing breaking up, but the tiles and the surface are still sound. Ridge capping re-bedded and re-pointed only, no full restoration. $1,200 to $3,000.
Cracked tiles, failed pointing and a surface past saving. That is the full restoration: clean, repairs, re-bed and re-point, seal and coat, with the 15-year written guarantee on it. $4,000 to $9,000 on a three to four bedroom home.
Worth flagging on the job sheet so it all gets looked at in one trip.
"Mati and Ryan did a fantastic job and I can't believe how wonderful my roof looks! Tiles replaced, ridge capping repaired, painted and sealed, plus extra jobs done at the last minute!"
"Awesome job. Great at communications and really looks after his clients. Rare to find people who will do their job and provide proper support these days. Killi is definitely one of them."
"Mati and his team did a great job on my roof. He was so busy but promised he would have it done by Christmas and he did. So happy with his work. Would highly recommend this company."
Yes. Kili & Cousins works across the Perth metro and Baldivis is on the list. Put the suburb on the job sheet and you get an answer either way, on the spot.
Age on its own does not decide it. Pointing that is breaking up, cracked or slipped tiles and moss holding water against the surface decide it. Plenty of newer roofs need the ridge capping sorted long before they need a full coat, and if that is all yours needs, that is all we will quote.
It is a written workmanship guarantee on full restorations, signed on your quote before work starts. If something we did is not right inside that window, we come back and put it right. What it covers and what it does not is written out in plain words on our guarantee page.
We work right across the Perth metro, north and south of the river. These suburbs have a page of their own: Applecross, Ascot, Canning Vale, Joondalup, Midland, South Perth, Wanneroo, Baldivis. If yours is not listed we almost certainly still get there, so ask and we will tell you straight away.
One of three answers comes back: a clean, the ridge work, or the full restoration. Whichever it is, you get it in writing with a number attached.
