Step 1 of 6

What best describes your home?

Different buildings need different crews, so this is the first thing a roofer asks.

Free. You are not committing to anything.

01

Are you a roofing company?

No, and it matters that we say so. We are a referral service, not a contractor. The roofing work, the licence, the insurance and the warranty all sit with the independent company you choose.

02

What warranty should I expect?

Two separate things. The manufacturer covers the material for its rated life, but only if it was installed to their specification. The contractor covers workmanship, commonly five to ten years, and only for as long as they are trading.

03

How many contractors will contact me?

Up to three. That is a hard cap, not a guideline. Three is enough to compare and few enough that your phone stays usable.

04

Should I take the cheapest quote?

Only if it is the same roof. Most large gaps between quotes are scope gaps. Ask the cheapest contractor which of the other quotes items they have left out, and why.

05

How long should a roof last here?

An architectural asphalt roof is rated for twenty-five to thirty years and, in this climate, tends to land at the lower end of that. Tile and metal go much further, provided what is underneath them is maintained.

06

Do you handle commercial buildings?

Yes. Commercial requests go to contractors who do low-slope and flat systems rather than to residential crews. Say so on the property question and it routes correctly.

07

How much deposit is normal?

Ten to thirty per cent is ordinary, and is often used to order material. A demand for full payment up front is a reason to walk away.

08

What if the decking is rotten underneath?

Some of it usually is. The important thing is that the price per sheet is agreed in writing before the tear-off, so the conversation on day two is about quantity rather than rate.

09

Can I just put a new roof over the old one?

Codes in most places allow two layers. That does not make it wise. You lose the chance to see the deck, and the next roofer has twice as much to remove.

10

Are gutters included in a re-roof?

Usually not, unless the quote says so. If they are near the end of their life, replacing them during the re-roof is meaningfully cheaper than doing it later, because the crew and the staging are already there.

11

Why three quotes and not one?

Because one price tells you nothing. Three tells you where the middle is, and the outliers are informative in both directions — the very cheapest is usually leaving something out, and the most expensive should be able to say what you are getting for it.

12

How quickly will someone call?

Most requests are picked up the same day, often within an hour. Emergencies are prioritised. If you have not heard anything by the next morning, check voicemail — contractors usually call from a mobile.
