Repair, Restore or Replace?

Make the Decision Around Condition and Value.

A single leak does not automatically mean replacement. Repeated patching is not always economical either. Our role is to give you a clear path based on the condition we can observe.

Best for localized failures

Targeted Repair

Appropriate when the defect is identifiable and the surrounding roof remains serviceable.

Condition dependent

Restoration / Coating

A broader strategy for certain compatible roofs after preparation and moisture review.

For widespread deterioration

Roof Replacement

May offer better value when failures, moisture or end-of-life conditions are extensive.

More Than A New Roof Covering

WHAT RE-ROOFING SHOULD ACTUALLY INCLUDE

Re-roofing is the process of renewing an existing roof system when age, wear, leakage, storm damage or repeated repairs make replacement the better long-term decision. The visible roofing material is only one part of the project.

A professional re-roofing project considers the existing deck, underlayment, ventilation, flashings, valleys, penetrations, drainage and transitions before the new roofing system is installed. This is where workmanship matters most.

Existing roof assessment

Tear-off & disposal

Roof deck inspection

Deck repairs as required

Underlayment & waterproofing

Flashing replacement

Ventilation review

New roofing installation

Complete re-roofing services

One contractor.
Every roof detail.

A complete project includes far more than installing the visible roof covering.

01

Roof Condition Assessment

Review of existing materials, flashings, drainage, visible deck concerns and access conditions before defining the scope.

02

Full Roof Tear-Off

Controlled removal of existing materials with staging, debris handling and protection for landscaping and building access.

03

Approved Roof Re-Cover

Overlay assessment and installation where the existing assembly, manufacturer requirements and applicable conditions permit it.

04

Deck Repairs

Replacement of accessible deteriorated sheathing or damaged substrate identified after removal, within the approved scope.

05

Flashing Renewal

New valley, wall, chimney, skylight, plumbing and transition details integrated with the selected roof system.

06

Ventilation Improvements

Review of intake and exhaust strategy so roof renewal considers attic heat and moisture management.

07

Skylight Coordination

Replacement or re-flashing planning where skylights intersect the roof and should be addressed during re-roofing.

08

Gutters, Fascia & Soffit

Roof-edge coordination where drainage or exterior components should be repaired or renewed with the roof.

09

Strata Re-Roofing

Phasing, resident communication, access planning and documented scope for townhome and multi-unit communities.

Quality & warranty planning

Protect the investment after installation.

A warranty is only one part of a successful roof. Product eligibility, installation details, ventilation, maintenance and clear documentation all matter.

Written Scope

Know what is removed, installed, included and handled as an allowance.

Compatible System

Components are selected to work together rather than as isolated products.

Installation Details

Flashings, penetrations, edges and transitions receive project-specific attention.

Workmanship Coverage

Confirm the contractor’s written workmanship terms before construction.

Manufacturer Coverage

Product warranties vary by system, product line and registration requirements.

Maintenance Plan

Periodic inspection and drainage care help protect the renewed roof.

Built around shared properties

Different buildings. Different priorities.

A townhouse complex, apartment building and mixed-use property should not receive the same roofing plan. We shape assessment, communication and construction around the building.

✓Shingle, metal, cedar and SBS

✓Phased building-block replacement

✓Gutters, fascia and ventilation

Condominiums & Apartments

Low-slope membrane and mixed roof systems with parapets, drains, mechanical curbs and shared common areas.

✓Drainage and penetration reviews

✓Access and resident coordination

Mixed-Use & Multi-Family

Strata roofing FAQs

Useful answers for councils & managers.

These answers cover the practical questions that often arise before an assessment, repair program or major roofing project.

What should a strata roof assessment include?

It should identify the property and roof zones reviewed, describe visible conditions, document representative concerns, organize priorities and explain recommended next steps. Scope and limitations should be clear.

Can a townhouse complex be re-roofed in phases?

Often, yes. Phasing can follow building groups, roof condition, budget and site logistics. Transitions between completed and future phases must be planned so the work remains coherent and watertight.

How do you decide between repair and replacement?

The decision considers the extent and pattern of deterioration, leak history, material condition, deck and insulation findings, detail failures, remaining useful life and the value of continued repair.

Do you work on both sloped and flat strata roofs?

Yes. Multi-unit properties can include shingles, metal, cedar, 2-ply SBS, TPO, EPDM and PVC/Sarnafil systems, sometimes within the same complex.

Can you create a maintenance program?

A maintenance approach can include scheduled condition reviews, drainage and debris checks, priority repairs, post-storm observations and updated recommendations. Frequency depends on the building and roof system.

How are residents affected during re-roofing?

Residents should expect construction noise, temporary access or parking restrictions and activity around entrances or balconies. Clear notices, phasing and a designated communication path reduce confusion.

Can roof leaks be repaired without replacing the entire complex?

Yes, when the source is localized and surrounding materials remain serviceable. Recurring leaks across multiple zones may indicate a broader assembly or age-related issue.

What information should the strata provide before an assessment?

Helpful information includes building addresses, roof age and material, leak history, previous invoices or reports, drawings if available, known access restrictions and the council’s main concerns.

How should bids for a major roof project be compared?

Compare equivalent system specifications, removals, deck allowances, insulation, flashings, ventilation, drainage, access, protection, phasing, cleanup, exclusions and warranty responsibilities—not only the total price.

Do you provide emergency help for strata leaks?

Yes. For active water entry, call directly and provide the property address, affected building or unit, visible symptoms, timing and safe photos. Temporary protection may be needed before permanent repair.
