A re-roof is one of the largest investments you will make in your home. At Cascone Roofing, we manage the full scope — structural assessment, material selection, removal of the existing roof, and installation of a new system built to last in Melbourne's variable climate. Every job is completed by our own licensed tradespeople; we never subcontract.
Our Re-Roof Process
- Site inspection & written quote
We assess roof structure, pitch, penetrations, and existing materials. You receive a detailed written quote with no hidden costs.
- Material selection
Choose Colorbond steel, concrete or terracotta tile, or a solution suited to heritage overlays. We advise on weight, lifespan, and Melbourne council requirements.
- Preparation & removal
Scaffolding and edge protection installed. Existing roofing removed safely. Asbestos-containing materials identified and handled by licensed specialists where required.
- Installation & handover
New roof installed to manufacturer specifications. Flashings, valleys, and penetrations sealed. Final walkthrough and compliance documentation provided.
Colorbond vs Tile for Melbourne Re-Roofs
When Is a Full Re-Roof the Right Call?
- Widespread tile cracking, rusted sheets, or multiple active leaks
- Roof is past its serviceable life (typically 25–40 years depending on material)
- Second layer of tiles adding excessive weight to ageing timber
- You are renovating and want to upgrade insulation, sarking, or roof pitch
- Storm damage affecting more than 30% of the roof area
Re-Roofing FAQs
How long does a re-roof take?
Most residential re-roofs take 3–7 working days depending on size, complexity, and weather. We provide a schedule before work begins.
Do I need a building permit?
Like-for-like re-roofs often do not require a permit, but structural changes or material changes may. We advise on council requirements for your suburb.
Can you re-roof while we stay in the home?
Yes. We work section by section to keep the property weather-tight overnight. Brief noise periods during removal and installation are unavoidable.
