Montrose is the hinge between suburbia and the Dandenong Ranges, so roofs here cop the storms that sweep along the foothills as well as a steady fall of leaves. Storm-cracked tiles get changed, ridges get fresh pointing and worn roofs get recoated, and our owner is up there on each job.

Montrose is a foothills suburb in every sense. Look one way from the town centre and Mount Dandenong rises behind the shops. Look the other and the suburbs roll away towards the city. Homes range from older brick and weatherboard houses to newer builds, many on generous blocks with big established trees.
That in-between position brings its own roofing headaches, and we help Montrose owners work through them. We travel over to inspect roofs on foot, photograph what turns up and explain your options in ordinary language. Quotes come in writing and are itemised, so you can see where each dollar would go. If a repair will solve the problem, that is what we suggest. If the roof needs more, you will see the evidence for yourself.

Summer storms moving across the outer east often hit hard along the foothills, and Montrose gets its share of sudden heavy rain, hail and squally wind. Each storm puts the roof through a stress test: loose ridge caps rattle, brittle tiles crack and blocked gutters spill over the fascia.
Between storms, the trees keep up a slower attack. Leaves and bark gather in valleys and gutters, where they trap moisture and corrode the metal. Roofs on the shaded side of a block stay damp long enough for moss to move in, and over the years it wears down the tile surface. Like anywhere in Melbourne, the swing from hot summers to cold winters also cracks ridge mortar bit by bit. None of these is usually enough to cause a leak alone, at least at first. It is the combination, often set off by one big storm, that finally lets the water through.
When a storm has done damage, we make the roof safe first and then come back for a proper repair. Beyond storm work, we fix:
We photograph the damage and the finished repair, which is also handy if you end up talking to your insurer.
Inspections are done standing on the roof. Each tile face, ridge and hip gets looked over, take a close look at valleys, flashings and gutters, and make a note of trees overhanging the house. Photos are taken the whole way round.
Afterwards you get an honest, jargon-free explanation and a quote on paper with each job listed. There is no fee, and if you decide to leave it for now, that is entirely your call.
Fixing a handful of spots is sensible when that is where the damage stops. When the tiles are worn and mossy right across the roof, the pointing is failing everywhere and leaks keep appearing in new rooms, a restoration gives you much better value for the money.
The job starts with a thorough clean using a high-pressure unit, then moves on to tile replacements, new bedding and pointing on ridges and hips, and valley and flashing repairs. Sealer and primer follow, and the finish coats go on in the colour you pick. At the end the roof is weathertight again, looks fresh from the street and is set for many more years, all for a fraction of re-roofing prices. Curious about the finer points? Our roof restoration services are described in detail too.
