FAQs
How can I tell if my Mascot home needs a full roof replacement rather than a simple repair?
Common warning signs include widespread water stains on ceilings, multiple or recurring leaks, sagging roof decking, cracked or missing shingles/tiles across large areas, and visible daylight through the roof boards in your attic. If over 25-30 % of the roof surface is damaged or the roof is approaching the end of its material life (typically 20–30 years for metal or tile roofs), a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated patch repairs. Our technicians provide a free on-site inspection in Mascot to give you a clear, itemised report and honest recommendation.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Mascot’s coastal climate?
Mascot sits within Sydney’s coastal zone, so resistance to salt air, strong winds and occasional hail is crucial. We generally recommend: • Colorbond Ultra or Colorbond Stainless steel for metal roofs – both are corrosion-resistant and come in energy-efficient, low-glare colours. • Terracotta or glazed ceramic tiles for homeowners wanting a traditional look with excellent lifespan and low porosity. • Premium asphalt shingles with marine-grade coatings for budget-friendly yet durable performance. We discuss aesthetics, budget and energy-efficiency goals with you to choose the best fit.
How long will a roof replacement take and will I have to leave my home?
For an average Mascot single-storey home (150–200 m² roof area), a full metal or tile replacement takes 2–4 days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs may take up to a week. You can usually remain in the home throughout; we schedule noisy tear-off work during daytime hours and ensure temporary waterproofing at the end of each day so you stay protected overnight.
Will my garden, driveway and neighbouring properties be protected during the job?
Yes. Before work begins, we lay protective tarps over gardens, install gutter-to-ground debris chutes, and use purpose-built catchment nets to contain nails and tiles. Driveways are covered with plywood sheets to prevent damage from skip bins or ladders. We also notify adjacent property owners of our schedule and daily clean the site to keep dust and debris to a minimum.
Do you arrange council permits or approvals required for roofing projects in Mascot?
Most roof replacements are categorised as Exempt Development under Bayside Council regulations, but heritage-listed homes or structural alterations may need a Development Application or a Complying Development Certificate. Our team checks your property zoning, prepares any required documentation and liaises with council certifiers on your behalf, ensuring full compliance before work starts.
What kind of warranty and after-sales support do you offer?
All full roof replacements come with a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation defects and a manufacturer’s material warranty of up to 25–36 years, depending on the product chosen. You’ll receive a signed warranty certificate and maintenance guide at hand-over. We also offer free annual roof health checks for the first two years to catch minor issues before they escalate.
