Roofs don’t usually fail overnight. It’s gradual. A loose sheet here. A cracked tile there. A patch repair that holds… until it doesn’t.

If your roof is structurally sound but the surface materials are worn out, reroofing can be a smart solution.

Reroofing means removing the existing roofing materials and installing a completely new roofing system over the same structure. It’s different from minor repairs — and different from a full structural rebuild.

What Is Reroofing?

In simple terms, reroofing involves:

  • Removing old metal sheets or tiles

  • Inspecting battens and underlying structure

  • Replacing damaged components

  • Installing new roofing material

  • Updating flashings and ridge capping

  • Ensuring compliance with current standards

It gives your home a fresh, durable roof without altering the core roof framing.

When Is Reroofing the Right Option?

Reroofing is often suitable when:

  • The roof structure is still solid

  • There’s widespread rust or deterioration

  • Tiles are cracking across large sections

  • Ongoing repairs are becoming expensive

  • You want to upgrade to metal roofing

Many Brisbane homes built 20–40 years ago fall into this category.

Tile to Metal Conversions

A common reroofing project in Brisbane is converting an old tile roof to modern metal or Colorbond.

Why people switch:

  • Lighter weight

  • Better storm performance

  • Improved drainage

  • Lower long-term maintenance

  • Cleaner, updated look

This type of reroofing can significantly modernise a property.

Built for Brisbane Conditions

Brisbane weather is tough on roofing materials. Heat expansion, heavy rainfall and summer storms all test weak points.

Correct fixings, proper sheet overlap, compliant flashing and ventilation matter more than most homeowners realise.

A reroof isn’t just cosmetic — it’s protection.

How Long Does Reroofing Take?

Most residential reroofing projects take:

  • 2–5 days depending on size

  • Slightly longer for tile-to-metal conversions

  • Weather permitting

We aim to keep disruption minimal and leave sites clean and safe.

Is Reroofing Better Than Roof Restoration?

That depends on the condition of your roof.

If the materials are near the end of their lifespan, restoration may only delay the inevitable. Reroofing gives you a new system rather than resurfacing an old one.

If the structure itself is compromised, a full roof replacement Brisbane may be required instead.
