Common questions in 7017
How much do roof repairs cost?+
Minor repairs like a few tiles or a flashing reseal typically run $250 to $600, valley or ridge work $600 to $1,500, and full roof restorations commonly $3,500 to $8,000 depending on size and condition. Gutter replacement is usually quoted per metre, often $30 to $70 installed. Steep or two-storey roofs cost more for the same defect.
How do I know if my roof needs restoring or replacing?+
Tiles that are merely dirty, mossy or have failed pointing restore well; tiles that are porous and crumbling, or metal sheets rusted through, need replacement. A roofer should show you photos from on the roof, not just a drone-shot sales pitch. If more than a small fraction of tiles are cracked, price both options.
Do roofers need to be licensed?+
Roof plumbing, guttering, downpipes and flashings, is licensed work in most states, and building work above certain values needs a licensed builder or roofing contractor. Ask for the licence and public liability insurance before anyone climbs. Door-knockers offering same-day restoration deals after storms are a well-worn scam pattern.
Can a roof be repaired in the rain?+
Emergency make-safe work, tarps and temporary sealing, happens in the wet, but proper repairs, coatings and pointing need dry surfaces to bond. Expect a two-stage response for a mid-storm leak: make safe now, repair on the next dry day. Insurers understand this pattern and cover both stages of legitimate storm claims.
Will insurance cover my roof leak?+
Storm damage is generally covered; gradual deterioration, rusted-out gutters and decades-old pointing generally are not. Insurers distinguish a storm-lifted section from long-term wear, and so will their assessor. Photograph damage immediately after the event and keep the roofer's report, because documentation decides marginal claims.
