What changes the price on your job
The ranges above are the starting point. These five factors are what move a quote up or down within (or sometimes outside) those bands.
- Roof material — tile costs more in restoration (rebed/repoint adds 2-3 days); Colorbond cheaper but rust-treat critical.
- Pitch + height — single-storey low-pitch easiest; two-storey + steep-pitch needs scaffold ($1,200–$2,800 extra).
- Existing condition — a roof that needs rebed before paint is a different job than a re-coat-only.
- Access — narrow side-passages, neighbour's overhang, on-site power, water all affect setup time.
- Heritage rules — tile profile match in heritage zones means salvage not stock, adds 20-40%.
Red flags — what to watch for in quotes
We see these patterns every week from operators we'd never recommend. If a quote you've received contains one of these, ask before signing.
- 'Free roof inspection' that turns into a high-pressure sales pitch on the day. Ask for the inspector's qualifications and written report up-front.
- 'Roof spray for $1,990' specials — that's paint-only on a roof that probably needs rebed first. The paint lifts inside 2 years.
- Quotes without itemised scope (clean vs rebed vs repoint vs paint) — makes it impossible to compare like for like.
- Storm-chasers after a hail event with door-knock sales — usually no local presence, no warranty followthrough.
- Mortar 'pointing' jobs — old technique. Flexible pointing is the current standard and doesn't crack in 2 years.
How to get an accurate quote in 5 minutes
Have the following ready when you call 0485 939 966 (or jot it on the quote form) and we can give you a real number in one call, not five.
- Roof type — tile (concrete or terracotta) or metal (Colorbond, Zincalume).
- Approximate age of roof.
- Single or double storey.
- Any specific issues — leak location, cracked tile, ridge-cap that's gone.
- Are you planning solar in the next 2 years? Affects timing of any restoration work.
