Roofs don’t last forever. And when a residential roof reaches the end of its life, small repairs stop being practical.
Residential roof replacement in Brisbane is common for homes built 25–40 years ago, particularly where tiles are cracking across large sections or metal sheets have started to rust through.
Replacing the entire roof restores protection, improves street appeal and gives the home a fresh start.
