Naturally, every roof will show some wear and tear if left unattended for too long, especially when exposed to the extreme heat and heavy storms we have here in Bundaberg. So, if your roof is cracked or significantly damaged, then a roof replacement may be necessary to keep your home and family safe during storm season. If you have never gone through a re-roofing process, however, it can seem a little daunting. Especially when you’re not quite sure where to start.

In this article, we outline the four simple steps to a successful re-roof for your Bundaberg home.

1. Inspection Of The Current Roof

The first step to take before replacing a roof is to inspect your current roof. A professional roofer will be able to evaluate the condition of your roof and consult you on the best solution. In many cases, it’s not necessary to do a full re-roof if a few repairs might do the trick. If the roof does need to be replaced, be sure to explain to your contractor how you want the structure of your new roof to appear, so that they can advise you better. If you are unsure about what you want or need, a professional roofer will also be able to make suggestions and guide you along the way. During the initial roof inspection, you may also want to get your home checked for asbestos, a material commonly used in homes before the 1990’s. At Pitch-Perfect Roofers, we are also certified asbestos removalists in Bundaberg and can help you identify and eliminate any risks of asbestos to keep your home and family safe.

2. Selecting Your Roofing Materials

There are various different roofing materials that can be used during your re-roof. However, there are many factors that should be considered. Your local weather conditions, distance to the beach and the structure of your home are just some aspects that should be taken into consideration before settling for certain materials. Metal roofings, and especially Colorbond roofs, are generally the best choice for areas with harsh weather conditions, like the Bundaberg Region. This is because they are long-lasting and can withstand extreme heat and heavy storms. Metal roofs are also a colourful option, and there are many colours to choose from to match the style of your home and neighbourhood. 

3. Removing The Damaged Roof

If a full or partial re-roofing is required, then your roofing contractor will need to remove the entire old roof, or parts of it, before they start installing the new one. They should also remove any other damaged roofing materials (including any asbestos if present) or repair them to ensure there will be no issues with the new roofing down the track. You also want to make sure that the roofing company of your choice offers a warranty on building work, as well as materials. Here at Pitch-Perfect Roofers, we provide all our customers with a 24-month warranty on all craftsmanship. Furthermore, our material suppliers provide warranties of up to 36 years on selected materials, meaning you can rest assured that if anything goes wrong, we’ve got your back.

4. Installing The New Roof 

After removing your old roof and cleaning up the debris, it’s now time to install your brand new roof. Your roofer will also ensure that there is sufficient insulation and add or replace it where needed. How long the entire re-roofing process takes will depend on the size of your house, the materials used and, of course, the team you hire. A professional roofing company will make the process quick and easy for you.
