Have you noticed that your roof has faded or is covered in lichen and moss? It might be time for a professional inspection. But how do you find a reputable roofing company? Here’s a guide to help you make an informed decision:

1. Research the Company
  • Check Their Website and Social Media: A reliable roofing company will showcase their workmanship on their website and social media. Look for evidence of their past projects and customer feedback.
  • Experience Matters: Look for information about how long the company has been in the industry. Experienced companies have the knowledge and expertise needed for a high-quality roof restoration. Newer companies might lack the depth of experience necessary to handle complex issues.
2. Evaluate Their Quoting Process
  • Onsite Inspection: A professional roofing company will perform a thorough onsite inspection before providing a quote. This inspection should be a detailed assessment of your roof’s condition.
  • Tailored Quotes: Ensure the company assesses your specific roof type and needs. For example, tiled roofs may need ridge cap repairs, while iron roofs might require fastening and flashing fixes. Accurate quotes can only be given after a detailed inspection.
3. Review the Products They Use
  • Product Information: A reputable company will openly share the products they use for roof restoration. Look for key features in their coatings, such as thickness, flexibility, UV stabilisers, and colour fastness.
  • Quality of Materials: The company should highlight the benefits of their products. Good products are critical for a durable and effective roof restoration.
4. Verify Their Credentials
  • Licensing and Memberships: Check if the company is a member of professional associations such as the Housing Industry Association (HIA) or the Master Builders Association. Ensure they hold the necessary licenses for your state.
  • Bonded Contractors: A trustworthy company will employ bonded contractors. Bonding provides security and ensures that if there are issues with the work, the company will rectify them without additional cost to you.
5. Check the Warranty
  • Warranty Coverage: A good roof restoration company will offer a substantial warranty. Look for companies that provide a warranty of at least 7 years, which covers the roof’s condition and any unforeseen issues.
