Some roofs cannot be saved with a clean and a coat. When the trouble is the structure underneath, putting colour on top is money burnt. A re-roof strips it back, deals with what is under there, and puts a new system on.
Once the tiles come off you find out what you actually own. Battens that have gone spongy, rafters with water damage, sarking that was never installed in the first place, flashings that were patched instead of replaced. None of it is visible from the ground and none of it is fixed by a restoration.
That is the honest test. If the structure is sound and the trouble is tiles, pointing and surface, get it restored and keep the difference. If the structure is the trouble, restoring it is a fresh coat of paint over a bad decision.
South Perth sits on the river opposite the city. We work right across the metro and south of the river is part of that, so the drive does not change your quote. What changes it is roof size, pitch, access for the gear, the material you are going to, and what turns up once the old roof is off.
One thing goes in writing every time: if we open a roof up and find something the quote did not cover, you hear about it and price it before we carry on. Nobody enjoys a surprise invoice and we are not interested in handing you one.
It is not a mood. A handful of things push a roof from one answer to the other, and you are entitled to hear which of them applied to yours.
The frame and battens are sound. The trouble is cracked tiles, failed pointing and a tired surface. A restoration puts all of that right at $4,000 to $9,000 and carries the 15-year written guarantee.
Battens or rafters have taken real water damage, the roof has been patched again and again, or the material itself has failed right across the roof instead of in one corner. Coating that is money thrown at a symptom.
Roofs that sit between those two get a longer conversation. How many more years you want out of the house, whether a sale is coming, and what the repair history looks like. You get our honest read plus the numbers for both, then you choose.
Whichever way it lands, it lands in writing, and the assessment that produced it did not cost you anything.
Better you hear it here. A full roof replacement in Perth commonly starts around $20,000 and climbs with size, pitch, access and material. A full restoration on a structurally sound three to four bedroom roof is $4,000 to $9,000. That gap is why the free onsite assessment matters so much on this page: it decides which of those two numbers you are actually looking at. South Perth is not priced differently to anywhere else in the metro.
If your roof can be restored we will tell you, quote it as a restoration, and put the 15-year written guarantee on it. Selling somebody a re-roof they do not need would be the easiest money we never take.
A re-roof is the biggest number on our list. Plenty of roofs never need one.
"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."
When the problem is the structure rather than the surface. Failed battens, water damaged rafters, or a roof that has been patched past the point of patching. If the frame is sound and it is tiles, pointing and surface, a restoration is the right money and we will say so.
It commonly starts around $20,000 and rises with roof size, pitch, access and the material you go to. A restoration on a structurally sound roof is $4,000 to $9,000 by comparison. Both ranges, and what moves them, are set out in our cost guide.
It is part of the conversation. Going from tile to metal changes the weight the frame is carrying, so it gets checked properly before anybody commits to it. Raise it at the assessment and you get a straight answer for your roof rather than a general one.
We work right across the Perth metro, north and south of the river. These suburbs have a page of their own: Applecross, Ascot, Baldivis, Canning Vale, Joondalup, Midland, Wanneroo, South Perth. If yours is not listed we almost certainly still get there, so ask and we will tell you straight away.
The assessment settles whether you are looking at a restoration or a replacement. It is free either way, and you get the answer in writing.
