A full roof restoration in Perth typically costs between $4,000 and $9,000 for an average three or four bedroom home. Smaller roofs in good condition can come in under that. Bigger roofs, steep pitches, or roofs needing serious repair work first can go past it. Your exact number comes after a free onsite look, not before.
These are honest ranges for typical Perth homes. Every roof is different, so treat them as the ballpark, not the quote.
| The job | Typical Perth range |
|---|---|
| Full roof restorationClean, tiles replaced, ridges re-bedded and re-pointed, primed, two coats in your chosen colour | $4,000 to $9,000 |
| Roof clean onlyHigh-pressure clean. Moss, lichen and years of grime off, no coating | $800 to $2,000 |
| Ridge cap re-pointingRidge capping re-bedded and re-pointed, the mortar work that stops caps lifting and leaking | $1,200 to $3,000 |
Ranges reflect typical Perth pricing for three to four bedroom homes. Your exact quote comes after a free onsite assessment, in writing, with everything itemised.
Tap each one for the honest detail. No calculator gimmicks here, because a real price needs eyes on your actual roof.
Roofers price largely per square metre. In Perth that runs roughly $17 to $38 per square metre depending on roof size and condition. Bigger roofs cost more in total but usually less per metre, because setup, safety gear and access costs get spread across a bigger job.
Concrete tile, terracotta and metal each behave differently. Terracotta usually doesn't need painting, which changes the price. Metal needs fastener checks and rust treatment before anything cosmetic. Concrete tile is the classic clean, repair, seal and coat job.
A roof needing dozens of tiles replaced, or full ridge cap re-bedding, costs more than one needing a clean and a coat. The more repair work that has to happen before the cosmetic work, the higher the number lands.
A proper restoration gets a primer surfacer and two coats of roof membrane in your chosen colour. The number of coats and the quality of the coating move the price, and they're the first place cheap quotes cut. One coat looks the same on handover day. It doesn't last the same.
Steep or high roofs take longer and need more safety gear. Two storeys, sharp pitches and tight access all add time on the tools, and time is what you're paying for on a roof.
The $4,000 to $9,000 range covers the whole job, not a clean with a colour on top.
The full run-down of how we do it lives on our roof restoration page.
If your roof structure is sound, restoration is the value play. If it's not, we'll tell you straight and you shouldn't restore it. Restoring a failed roof helps nobody, including us.
Typically buys another 15+ years from a structurally sound roof. The full job: clean, repairs, re-point, seal and coat, backed by our 15-year written guarantee.
A full roof replacement in Perth commonly starts around $20,000 and rises fast. Sometimes it's the honest answer, and when it is, we'll say so before you spend a cent restoring the wrong roof.
Some quotes look good because they skip the parts you can't see from the driveway. The usual suspects:
Ask any roofer, us included, exactly what's in the number. A proper quote itemises the job. A cheap one hopes you won't ask.
We come out and get on the roof, not the driveway. Size, type, condition, coating and access, the same five factors above, read on your actual roof.
An exact number with everything itemised. What's being repaired, what's being replaced, how many coats. Nothing vague to hide behind later.
On full restorations the 15-year written guarantee goes on the quote itself. And if your roof doesn't need work, we'll tell you that too. The look still costs nothing.
If the roof structure is sound, yes: it costs a fraction of replacement and adds many years of life. If the structure has failed, no honest roofer should sell you a restoration.
A properly done restoration is generally good for 15 years or more, and ours is backed by a 15-year warranty.
Generally no for wear and age, sometimes yes for storm damage. Worth checking your policy before you pay for storm-related repairs yourself.
The restoration work itself, in writing, signed on your quote. Plain terms, no fine-print gymnastics. Full details on our warranty page.
We work right across the Perth metro, north and south of the river. These suburbs have a page of their own: Canning Vale, Joondalup, Wanneroo, Baldivis, Midland, South Perth, Applecross, Ascot. If yours is not listed we almost certainly still get there, so ask for a number on yours.
We come out, get on the roof, and tell you exactly what it needs and what it costs. If it doesn't need work, we'll tell you that too.
