Learn more about us

We have over 50 years of roofing experience.

We understand your home is your most valuable asset.

Roofing your new home, or re-roofing your existing home is an integral part of keeping your home watertight and feeling safe and secure.

That is why we do everything we can to remove the stress and worry from the situation by:

  • Providing advice on the correct roofing products and procedures

  • Identifying any potential impacts a roof replacement may have on the rest of your weather-tightness system

  • Working around your timeframes as best we can

  • Installing roofing materials to New Zealand roofing standards

  • Minimising the impact of our work on the rest of your property by being mindful of gardens and promptly removing rubbish.

We are Licensed Building Practitioners and we take pride in our workmanship.
