We repair roofs in Tarneit (3029). On newer homes, the usual jobs are re-pointing ridges that cracked as the frame settled, fixing badly cut tiles and flashings, bird proofing solar arrays, and gutter cleaning.
Why new roofs still need work
A newly built roof is not maintenance-free. Roof timbers dry out and move in the first few years, and ridge pointing is rigid enough to crack with it. Tiles cut on site at hips and valleys sometimes crack along the cut. A flashing that was fitted in a hurry can fail early. None of this means the roof is poor, and all of it is cheap to fix when found early.
- Cracked ridge pointing. Re-pointing with flexible pointing handles later movement. See ridge re-pointing.
- Badly cut tiles at hips, valleys and penetrations. One reviewer had a tile their builder had cut poorly, and we replaced it. See tile repairs.
- Pipe and vent flashings that were not sealed well.
“Highly recommend! Nathan was great to work with. We had a couple of broken tiles on our roof (including one that had been poorly cut by our builder) and Nathan was able to replace them and clean our gutters. After the job was done, he sent through photos of all the work, and it is very clear to see that he has done an exceptional job.”
Solar panels and birds
Tarneit has a lot of solar. Pigeons look for the dry gap under the panels. We fit mesh along the edge without drilling the panels. See solar panel bird proofing.
Check your builder's warranty first
If the home is recent, your builder may owe you a repair under the statutory warranty. Check your contract and timing. If it has expired or the builder is gone, we can do the work and give you photos of the repair.
Estate rules and roof colours
Many newer estates restrict roof colours and materials. Check your estate guidelines before repainting or changing colour. Tell us the colour you need and we will work to it. See roof painting.

Roofing questions in Tarneit
My house is only a few years old. Why is the ridge cracking?
New timber frames move as they dry and settle, and rigid pointing cracks. Flexible re-pointing fixes it and handles later movement.
Do I claim from the builder or call you?
Check your contract and the warranty period first. If the builder is out of scope, we can do the repair.
