FAQs
Why are asphalt shingles a good choice for homes and businesses in Mascot’s climate?
Mascot experiences warm summers, occasional storms, and salty coastal breezes from Botany Bay. Asphalt shingles are engineered to handle these conditions: they have a fiberglass core that resists moisture, granule-covered surfaces that reflect UV rays, and flexible asphalt that expands and contracts without cracking. Modern shingles also carry a Class A fire rating—critical in urban settings—and withstand wind gusts up to 210 km/h, making them ideal for Mascot’s periodic southerly busters.
How long will a new asphalt-shingle roof last, and what warranties do you offer?
With proper installation and ventilation, quality architectural shingles last 25–35 years in Mascot. We are certified by the major manufacturers, so you receive a dual warranty: 1) a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty that covers material defects and can be non-prorated for the first 10–15 years, and 2) our own 10-year workmanship guarantee, which means any installation-related issue is fixed at no charge.
Can you install new asphalt shingles over my existing roof, or is a full tear-off required?
NSW Building Code allows one recover layer if the deck is sound and there is only a single existing roof layer. However, we recommend a full tear-off in most Mascot projects. Removing the old roofing lets us inspect the plywood, replace damaged battens, install modern underlayment, and ensure proper ventilation—all of which extend the life of your new shingles and keep the manufacturer’s warranty intact.
What siding options pair well with asphalt-shingle roofing?
Many Mascot homeowners choose fibre-cement weatherboards, insulated vinyl siding, or metal cladding. Fibre-cement is fire-resistant and holds paint for up to 15 years, vinyl is budget-friendly and low-maintenance, while COLORBOND® steel cladding provides a sleek, contemporary look and superior wind resistance. We help you match colours and textures so your siding complements the shingle profile and boosts overall curb appeal.
How much does an asphalt-shingle roof replacement cost in Mascot?
Costs vary with roof size, pitch, and chosen shingle grade. As a guideline, a typical 180 m² roof with architectural shingles ranges from $100–$140 per m² installed, inclusive of tear-off, disposal, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation—so $18,000–$25,000. Premium designer shingles or complex roofs with multiple hips and valleys can add 15–25 %. We provide a free, itemised quote after an on-site inspection so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
What maintenance is required to keep asphalt shingles and siding in top condition?
1) Inspect the roof visually each spring and after major storms, looking for lifted tabs or missing granules. 2) Keep gutters clear so water can drain freely—blocked gutters cause shingle edge rot and siding stains. 3) Trim overhanging branches to reduce debris buildup and moss growth. 4) Wash siding annually with mild detergent and a soft-bristle brush; avoid high-pressure water that can force moisture behind cladding. 5) Schedule a professional roof & siding check-up every 3–5 years; we reseal flashing, replace cracked caulk, and apply anti-fungal treatment if needed.
