FAQs
How do I know when my roof in Newcomb needs a full replacement rather than just repairs?
Warning signs include widespread water staining on ceilings, sagging roof lines, brittle or crumbling tiles, rusted or loose metal sheets, and repeated leaks after heavy rain. Because Newcomb’s salty coastal air accelerates corrosion, minor issues can become structural problems quickly. Our free roof assessment will determine if targeted repairs are still viable or if a full replacement is the safer, more cost-effective option.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Newcomb’s coastal climate, and why?
For longevity near the bay we usually recommend Colorbond® steel in a marine-grade finish or premium terracotta tiles. Colorbond® has a baked-on paint layer that resists salt spray and fading, while terracotta tiles offer natural salt resistance and excellent thermal mass. We also install high-quality sarking and ridge ventilation to cope with Newcomb’s strong winds and summer heat.
How much does a roof replacement typically cost in Newcomb and what factors influence the price?
A full replacement on an average 3-bedroom home generally starts from $18,000 for metal and $22,000 for tile, but the final figure depends on roof size and pitch, choice of material and profile, complexity of flashing and valleys, access to the site, and whether existing battens or insulation need upgrading. We give fixed-price quotations after an on-site measure so there are no surprises.
How long will the roof replacement take and will my home be exposed to the weather?
Most residential roofs are removed and re-sheeted within 3–5 working days. We strip only as much roof as we can re-cover the same day and use industrial tarps if sudden weather blows in, so your interior stays protected. Our team keeps the site tidy and removes all waste daily to minimise disruption to you and your neighbours.
Do I need council approval or permits for a roof replacement in Newcomb?
A like-for-like roof replacement usually falls under ‘exempt building work’ with the City of Greater Geelong, but any change to roof structure, height, or material colour in heritage overlay zones requires a building permit and, occasionally, planning consent. We check your property zoning, prepare documentation, and can lodge permit applications on your behalf at no extra cost.
What warranties and after-sales support do you provide on new roofs?
All our roof replacements come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee and the manufacturer’s material warranty—25 years for Colorbond® steel and 50 years for terracotta tiles. We conduct a free inspection 12 months after completion and are available locally in Newcomb for any maintenance or warranty claims, giving you complete peace of mind.
