Once you’ve shortlisted a few, be sure to get in touch and begin a conversation by asking some questions like: 

  • What certifications do you and your workers have for roofing?
  • Do you specialise in a particular type of roofing?
  • What type of material would you recommend for my project?
  • Have you worked on a project similar to this in Australia?
  • How long will it take to install the roof?
  • What potential setbacks could occur?

Are roofing contractors licensed?

Roofing contractors require licensing before they can install roofs in Australia. The exact requirements vary depending on location, so check your local regulations to find out what’s required in your area.

How often does a roof need to be replaced?

This depends on the materials the roof is made of. Some roofs, like those made of zinc sheets, can last up to a hundred years before needing replacing! Others, like those made from asphalt shingles, may need re-roofing in 20 years or less.

Do I need a permit to reroof my house?

This depends on the exact nature of the work being done in Australia. In general, if any chance exists of the new roof affecting the structural stability of the house (as is often the case), you will need a permit to reroof your house.
