Metal Roof Replacement Melbourne
Enhance your home or commercial property with quality metal roof replacement from Watermaster Roofing
A high quality and durable metal roof is a home’s first defence against harsh weather conditions and other natural hazards.
When your existing roof fails, you leave your home susceptible to further damage. This includes weakened foundations, leaks, and other water damage. The cost benefits of complete roof replacement in Melbourne far outweigh patch repairs carried out over a longer period of time.
Residential and commercial metal roof replacement (or re-roofing) maintains the integrity of your home while providing it with a tough and superior roof that will last for decades. Robust COLORBOND steel is Watermaster Roofing’s metal roof of choice.
Why consider metal roofing replacement?
Your roof endures daily exposure to the elements – sun, rain, wind, and hail – which can significantly impact its integrity over time.
Regular roof repairs and maintenance is essential for identifying and addressing issues early on. However, for metal roofs (or in fact most other types) there comes a time when roof repairs become less effective and more costly than opting for a complete roofing replacement.
Your roof typically reaches this stage after several decades. Once it’s reached, it’s important to consider metal roofing replacement or re-roofing as the best solution for long-term, lasting results.
These are some of the scenarios or issues you might be facing where you may want to consider roof replacements in Melbourne.
Age
The impact of general wear and tear is evident in everything, including our roofs.
If your roof has aged significantly, it’s crucial to arrange a professional inspection to identify any issues and determine the appropriate solution. In some cases, older roofs may require complete replacement to ensure long-lasting protection.
Missing or broken tiles
Missing tiles are an instant entryway for water to enter your roof cavity. This can lead to ceiling, wall, and structural damage.
Sometimes this can be repaired – in other cases, it can’t. Protect the integrity of your home with a replacement roof.
Leaking roof
Tired of dealing with a perpetually leaking roof? Call our expert roof plumbers to investigate the issue. Our team will identify the source of the leak and attempt to repair it. In some cases, a problematic or severely damaged roof may require metal roofing replacement: choose durable, low-maintenance, and stylish metal roofing.
Sagging roof
Spotting issues with your roof might be trickier than expected due to its location. But if you do notice a dip or sag along your roofline (usually in the centre), talk to a professional roofer urgently.
Exposure to moisture is a common cause of a sagging roof – water build up on your roof, causing sections of it to sag.
Buckling shingles
Asphalt shingles may look good, but they can lead to a number of problematic issues for your roof. They can curl, crack, blister, and rot, while moss and algae love to grow on them. It’s hard to come back from this type of growth – oftentimes, complete roofing replacement is needed to restore your home’s look as well as the health and durability of your roof.
Schedule a roof inspection so our team can help identify any concerns and determine the most suitable roofing solution.
Temperature problems
Did you know that metal roofing is actually more effective at keeping your house cool in summer than tiles or shingles? With proper insulation, metal roofing absorbs heat before it seeps into your home, while heat-resistant finishes reflect heat from your building.
If your roof stops offering these benefits, you may require metal roof repair, or in extreme cases, a full roof replacement.
Age
General wear and tear affects everything – from the clothes we wear to yes, our roofs. If your roof is getting up there in years, it’s likely in need of a professional inspection to diagnose any problems and create the right solution. For some older roofs, that might necessitate a complete roof replacement.
Missing or broken tiles
Missing tiles are an instant entryway for water to enter your roof cavity, leading to ceiling, wall, and structural damage.
Sometimes this can be repaired – in other cases, it can’t. Protect the integrity of your home with metal roofing to replace an old and problematic tiled roof.
Leaking roof
Tired of dealing with a perpetually leaking roof? Call our expert roof plumbers to investigate the issue. Our team will identify the source of the leak and attempt to repair it. In some cases, a problematic or severely damaged roof may require re-roofing, so why not choose durable, low-maintenance, and stylish metal roofing?
