1) You will need a ladder for the first few. For tips 1 to 3, we are checking out your shingles or tiles. Firstly, are there missing shingles or tiles? Are any cracked? Do you see any shingles that have curled? Unless your shingles and tiles are lying flat on your roof, moisture can seep in underneath, and do damage to the underlying structure.
2) Still concentrating on shingles – do they look damp, dark or dirty? This might be an indication that there already is moisture trapped in and around the shingle. 3) Lastly with the shingles, look in your gutters. When shingles begin wearing out they start release ‘granules’, which look like black, thick sand. This often ends up in the gutters. 4) From shingles to your roof valleys. If you don’t know what they are, they occur when there are different slopes on your roof; the roof valley is the little ‘V’ section where the different slopes connect. Because this is where the water flows down to your gutters, check for rust and corrosion. These could eventually turn into leaks. You will also want to check the ceilings under these roof valleys for discolouration caused by moisture. 5) You will want to look for moss. These can occur in cracks between tiles and shingles and usually occurs in places that are often set in the shade. Moss is like a sponge; any moisture gets soaked up, and if that moisture gets underneath the shingles and tiles, you once again have potential problems for the underlying structure of your roof. |
6) You can put the ladder away for now, but climb the stairs to your top-most room, either the crawl space under the roof, or an attic, if you have one. A place where there is only the roof between you and the outdoor sky. When in this top-most room, do you see light pouring in through cracks in the ceiling? It doesn’t take much reasoning to figure out why this isn’t a good thing.
7) Do you see stains on the ceilings of your top-most room? This is likely due to leaks coming in from the outside. Get them early and they can be repaired before they turn into something much worse. 8) And lastly for the top-most room, do you notice any sagging in the wooden rafters? This is again likely due to moisture leaks from outside affecting the wood. 9) There is still one more tip, but this one is easier. How old is your roof? Depending on the roofing material, roofs might last for 20 years or more (metal roofing would last a lot longer). If yours is at the end of its life cycle, even if you don’t notice anything else, you should probably get someone in to professionally inspect it. |

Roof InstallationRoofs are the crowning showpiece of our homes and buildings. They have the practical responsibility of keeping us protected from the elements for years and decades to come, but also the make a bold declaration.
As the highest point of the house, the roof can be seen from furthest away. It should make a statement declaring ‘Here I am. This is my house!’ Our very experienced roof installation Cairns contractors are looking forward to helping you make your statement. We work with a variety of materials, and want to partner with you in giving you the roof that you and your house deserve. Whether this is your first house, your first property, or one of many, the building of a new roof is always a momentous occasion. |
Metal RoofingMetal roofing is gaining in popularity during the last few years, particularly for home owners. Some of the benefits become pretty obvious when you read about them: they are far lighter than other materials, the metal roofs are far more water resistant than other types of material, they require very little maintenance, and they will last even decades longer than other roofs.
There’s probably a good chance that if you were to buy a metal roof, you won’t need a new roofer until our grandkids take over the business. Metal isn’t the only type of roofing material we work with. If you still don’t know whether tile or any other type of roofing material is the best option for your home and financial situation, give us a call. Our metal roofing and tile roofing experts are eager to assist you. |
Roof RepairMighty rivers often begin with a small trickle. Avalanches often begin with small rocks. And the trouble with our roofs can often begin with the smallest of problems. A leak here. A chipped tile there. Perhaps moisture gets underneath, and rot begins.
Repairs usually relate to localized regions of damage. Perhaps a storm has knocked a tree branch into a section of tiles, maybe there are leaks, or there is some rust and corrosion. What is important is to find these problems fast before they become bigger problems, and when you do find those problems, talk to us. Our roof repair Cairns expert contractors have years of experience and will look at your roof before committing to any course of action. If you don’t know whether your damaged roof is covered by the term ‘repair’ or a more drastic term like ‘restoration’ or ‘replacement’, give us a call and we will work through the problem with you. |
Roof RestorationRestorations are more drastic than repairs. Repairs put band aides on to your roof problems, and perhaps that’s all that is needed. But when it’s not, when the damage is more extensive than just a few localized spots, you may need a restoration.
Think of a restoration like full-on makeover for your roof. If any repairs are required, they are performed, the existing roofing material is removed and new roofing material is laid down and then painted. When done, your roof will look brand new. Because restorations replace the roofing material, sometimes people don’t wait until their roofs are damaged extensive to have one performed. New roofing material is almost inevitably more technologically advanced than old building material. Restorations allow for more energy efficient, more durable, strong building material to replace their current aging material, giving the roof a brand new lease of life. Whether you need a restoration due to severe damage, or want one for the benefits of new roofing material, call our roof restoration Cairns expert contractors to visually inspect your property and consult with you as to the best course of action. |
Roof ReplacementA replacement is the more expensive, more drastic option when compared to a restoration. A restoration will not change the underlying structure of the roof, and will leave it intact… a replacement may not. A replacement with remove the roof that is there and replace it for a new one.
Sometimes the damage may be so extensive that there is no hope a restoration can solve the problem; a new roof is required. But there also times when a person may decide it is in their best interests to have a roof replaced rather than restored. This is particularly the case for metal roofs, but also the case for roofs that are old and getting close to their expiry date. A restoration can add a few years to a roof, but a replacement may add a few decades. Call our roof replacement Cairns experts; they will come to your property and inspect your roof and work with you to help you come to the best decision for you and your property. |
Gutter InstallationNew roofs, quite obviously, need new gutters, so while you are having your roofs installed, consider having new gutters installed. Not coincidentally, we also provide gutter installation services for both residential home owners and commercial property owners.
We will help you figure out what type of gutter works best for your home or property; that includes the type of material, the size of the gutter, its shape and even its colour. So, call our gutter installation Cairns experts today, and let’s work together to finding the best gutters for you. |
Gutter Repair |
Gutter Replacement |
Sometimes we only think of our gutters when something goes drastically wrong and then water is flowing all over the place and causing damage to our property and roof.
However, timely gutter maintenance can nip these major problems in the bud. Get in on the problem of broken gutters before the trickle of water becomes a mighty torrent. Call our gutter repair Cairns experts to fix your rusted, damaged gutters before they become worse problems. |
Like roofs, sometimes a repair ‘band aid’ just isn’t enough and a gutter replacement is required.
Or sometimes you are having your roof restored and replaced, and your gutters need to be replaced too. Or perhaps you’ve just decided that a different type of gutter would be a better suite for your house; a gutter of a different material type, a gutter that is more dependable, more durable. Our gutter replacement Cairns experts will check your gutters in an effort to determine the current situation, and whether repairs can fix the damage or whether the more drastic replacement is required. If, however, you decide to replace the gutter for other reasons, they will help you figuring out which gutter bests suits your needs. So, call us. Our staff are looking forward to speaking with you. |
