Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before re-roofing your home.
-
As licensed roof plumbers, we deliver residential and commercial roofing works with a strong focus on quality, safety and compliance.
As a locally owned and operated business, we pride ourselves on clear communication, reliable workmanship and professional service from start to finish.
-
Victorian law classifies roofing as plumbing work, which means it must be completed by a licensed plumber. This protects you, and ensures your roof:
Meets Australian Standards
Is installed correctly and safely
Comes with a Certificate of Compliance
Is covered by the right insurance.
Using an unlicensed installer can lead to insurance issues, safety concerns and non-compliance — things no homeowner wants. You can find more information on the Building and Plumbing Commission (formerly the Victorian Building Authority) website.

Some common signs include:
Ongoing leaks
Rust, cracks or visible wear
A roof that's 30+ years old
Tiles slipping or metal sheets lifting
A roof that looks tired even after previous repairs or painting
Rising repair costs over time.
If you’re unsure, we can provide an honest assessment and let you know whether your roof needs replacing or if a smaller repair is enough.
-
If your roof is getting old, leaking or just not holding up the way it used to, re-roofing is often the best solution. Painting can make a roof look better for a while but it doesn’t fix structural issues underneath. Re-roofing gives you a fresh, modern roof that’s built to last — not a temporary patch-up.
Most homeowners choose to re-roof because they want long-term peace of mind and a roof they don’t have to keep fixing every couple of years.
-
Metal roofing is a popular choice across regional Australia because it’s durable, low maintenance and designed to handle harsh weather conditions.
It’s also:Lightweight, which is easier on your home’s structure
Fire-resistant, ideal for many regional and rural areas
Modern looking, giving your home a fresh and updated appearance.
We use genuine COLORBOND® steel, which comes in a wide range of contemporary and classic colours. You can explore the full COLORBOND® colour selection here.

Yes, it often does. A new roof improves both appearance and structure — two things buyers pay close attention to. Even if you’re not selling, a new roof can reduce maintenance costs and improve energy efficiency, so it’s a solid long-term investment.
-
In most cases, no — you can remain in your home while works are being completed.
Our team completes re-roofing works in sections to help minimise disruption and keep your home protected throughout the process. While there will naturally be some noise and activity on site during work hours, we work efficiently to maintain a safe and tidy work area.
If there are any specific access requirements or concerns before works commence, we’ll discuss these with you as part of the quoting and planning process.
-
Most homes can be fully re-roofed within 4–7 days. We work in sections so your home stays protected throughout the whole process. Weather conditions and roof size can change the timeline but we’ll always keep you updated so you know what to expect.
-
We service Mildura and the wider Sunraysia region, including Irymple, Red Cliffs, Merbein, Buronga, Gol Gol, Curlwaa, Dareton and Wentworth.
Our team completes residential and commercial roofing works across north-west Victoria and south-west New South Wales.

The cost of re-roofing can vary quite a bit depending on things like the size and pitch of your roof, the materials you choose and the condition of the existing structure. Because every home is different, there’s no accurate “standard price” that applies to everyone.
The best way to get a clear idea of cost is to organise a no-obligation quote, where we can assess your roof properly and give you an honest, tailored price.
