The roof is a crucial element that offers protection to your home and family from the harsh Queensland weather conditions. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality roofing materials (such as ZINCALUME® steel and COLORBOND® steel) and especially in a cyclone region like Bundaberg where heavy storms aren’t uncommon.

Getting the roof of your Bundaberg home done, will involve one of two techniques:

• Covering over the existing roof or (roof renovation)
• Or removing the damaged roof completely and replacing it with a new one (roof replacement)

In this short article we will explain the difference between the two in a little more detail.

Roof Replacement in Bundaberg

Reroofing or roof replacement is a process of installing a brand new roof to replace the one that is damaged or worn. In some cases, it means installing a new roof over the existing faulty one. However, the process is more involving than roofing on a new building. Other than the challenges involved while installing a new roof, we need to find out what exactly caused the damage to the current roof to avoid the same from happening again in the future. We only recommend roof replacement when the existing roof is damaged beyond repair.

When done by a professional roofer, roof replacements are a quick, straight-forward process. It might also involve removing any trapped water in the ceiling to avoid your house from getting moldy, which can be a serious health hazard for your family, especially if you have small children living in that home. One thing to keep in mind is that a full roof replacement will expose the interior of your home during the process and any furniture might have to be relocated until the process is completed.

Roof Renovation in Bundaberg

Roof renovation, more commonly known as roof repair, is a process of restoring an existing roof to excellent condition. During the roof renovation process, it is advisable to consider the seasonal weather conditions to ensure the roof is dry and avoid delays. Having your roof repaired before cyclone season hits would be a good idea in order to avoid further damage and ensure the safety of your home and family. Putting off a damaged roof for too long can end up being a lot more costly than attending minor damages as they arise. You can always contact one of our local Bundy roofers for a complimentary roof inspection.

Choosing between roof replacement and roof repair is not always easy. It’s not only determined by the faults and damage involved, but also by the quality of the roofing materials that were used for the original roof. To decide whether a roof needs to be repaired or replaced, you should always have a professional roofer carefully examine it, identify any existing issues and other potential problems, and then advise accordingly.

If you have an older roof, it may have been built using asbestos, a very harmful substance that can pose significant health risks to you and your family. We always suggest to also have your home checked for asbestos when having your roof inspected. As certified asbestos removalists, we are able to provide you with a free, no-obligation asbestos removal quote and help you keep your home and family safe.

A complete roof replacements is really only necessary if the roof of your Bundaberg home is extremely damaged or at risk of collapsing due to rust and water damage.
