Roofs wear out slowly.

You don’t usually notice it at first. A bit of rust along the edges. A few loose fixings. Maybe a patch job after the last storm. Then one day you realise the repairs are becoming regular.

That’s when it’s time to consider a re-roof.

Re-roofing means removing the existing roofing material and installing a brand-new roofing system over the current structure. It’s not a quick repair and it’s not just cosmetic. It’s a proper reset for your roof.

What Does Re-Roofing Involve?

A proper re-roof in Brisbane typically includes:

  • Removing old tiles or metal sheets

  • Inspecting battens and underlying structure

  • Replacing damaged components

  • Installing new roofing material

  • Updating flashings, ridge capping and fixings

  • Ensuring compliance with current Australian standards

When done correctly, a re-roof gives you decades of protection.

When Should You Re-Roof?

Re-roofing is usually the right move when:

  • Repairs are becoming frequent

  • Rust is widespread

  • Tiles are cracking across multiple sections

  • Storm damage has affected large areas

  • The roof is near the end of its lifespan

Many Brisbane homes built in the 80s and 90s are reaching this stage now.

Tile to Metal Re-Roof Brisbane

One of the most common projects we see is tile-to-metal conversions.

Homeowners choose metal roofing because it:

  • Is lighter on the structure

  • Handles heavy rainfall well

  • Requires less ongoing maintenance

  • Modernises the look of the home

Built for Brisbane Weather

Brisbane roofs deal with:

  • High UV exposure

  • Summer downpours

  • Humidity

  • Strong wind events

Correct installation matters. Sheet overlap, screw placement, flashing detail — small things that make a big difference once the storms hit.

A re-roof done properly isn’t just about appearance. It’s about protection.

How Long Does a Re-Roof Take?

For most residential properties:

  • 2–4 days for standard homes

  • Longer for larger properties or complex rooflines

  • Weather dependent

We aim to keep disruption low and leave the site clean once complete.

Re-Roof vs Roof Restoration

Restoration can work if the roof is structurally sound and materials still have life left.

But if the roofing material itself is failing, coating over it won’t fix the problem long term. A re-roof provides a new system rather than extending the life of an old one.

If structural components are compromised, a full roof replacement Brisbane may be required instead.
