No vague estimates and no surprise extras. We inspect your Boronia roof, photograph the problems and give you a written quote for exactly what needs doing, whether that is a few cracked tiles or a full restoration.

Ask around Boronia and you will hear the same story: someone looked at a roof from the driveway, threw out a number and then added extras halfway through the job. We work the other way round. We get on the roof first, take photos of every issue, and put a price in writing before anybody picks up a tool.
That quote is built around a simple question. Will repairs do the job, or would a full restoration be the better spend? Many homes here, from the 1960s and 70s brick veneers to later builds, only need some targeted work on ridges, tiles or flashings. Others are worn right across, and patching would just waste your money. Either way you get the reasons in plain English and photos to back them up. We travel to Boronia from Cairnlea, and the owner attends every job.

Boronia is tucked in against the base of the Dandenongs, close enough that the ranges shape its weather. The area catches more rain than the inner suburbs, and big gums and established gardens drop leaves and twigs straight into gutters and valleys. Once those fill up, rain spills back over the tile laps and ends up dripping onto your plasterboard.
Shaded roof faces stay damp for longer here, so moss and lichen grow quickly on concrete tiles. As that growth spreads, the tile surface breaks down and starts soaking up water. Ridge caps on older homes were bedded in sand and cement mortar that cracks with age, and the heat of summer followed by cold, wet winters speeds that up. Storms rolling off the ranges can also lift tiles or bring down branches, which is when many Boronia owners first call us.
We fix the problems that actually cause leaks and damage, and we explain each one before we start. On foothills roofs the list below covers the vast majority of what we find.
It costs nothing, and we do it standing on your roof rather than squinting up from the footpath. Tiles, ridge and hip lines, valleys, flashings and gutters all get a close look, and anything worth noting is photographed. With an active leak, we also poke our head into the roof cavity to see where the water is travelling.
We then explain the findings in plain language and follow up with the written quote. There is no obligation to proceed, and we never pressure anyone into work they do not need.
A few isolated faults? Fix them and move on. But when moss carpets whole sections, tiles have gone porous and almost every ridge is cracking, we will say so, and suggest putting the money into one thorough restoration instead.
That job works across the entire roof. Moss and grime come away under the pressure washer, split tiles make way for new ones, the ridge and hip caps get relaid wherever they rock and freshly pointed along every line, while valleys and flashings are put right. A sealer and primer then go on, followed by a durable topcoat in a shade you like. Compared with new tiles, it is a modest outlay, and the roof comes out sound and fresh for years ahead.

One person quotes your Boronia roof, one person answers your calls, and that same person is up the ladder while the work happens: our owner, who has been fixing roofs for more than 25 years. If something is not right, you know exactly who to talk to.
You are covered by our licence and insurance, and the work itself is quality-assured. Foothills gardens tend to be lovingly kept, so we put protection over garden beds, paths and the driveway, and when we leave you will not be picking chunks of old mortar out of the mulch for weeks.
