Tackling a roofing project? Whether you’re handling repairs, working through a restoration, or installing a brand-new roof, our comprehensive checklist will help you stay organised and on course from start to finish.
Taking on a roofing project—whether you’re building from scratch or tackling repairs—can feel overwhelming. Between navigating safety protocols and choosing the right materials, there’s a lot riding on each decision. And let’s be honest: mistakes in roofing don’t just cause headaches—they can seriously drain your budget.
The good news? You don’t have to figure it all out alone. We’ve taken the guesswork out of the process by breaking down every phase into clear, manageable steps that’ll help you execute your roofing project with confidence.
A proper inspection helps you understand exactly what needs doing and avoids nasty surprises mid-project. Consider booking a professional roof inspection and take photos of damaged tiles, leaks, and structural concerns.
Research local roofing costs and set a realistic budget. Add a buffer for unexpected issues and get multiple detailed quotes from licensed roofers.
Compare roofing materials based on durability, energy efficiency, warranty, and long-term maintenance. Popular options include metal, tiles and Colorbond.
Contact your local council to confirm permit requirements and ensure compliance with building codes.
Confirm your insurance coverage and verify that your roofer has valid public liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
Clear outdoor areas, protect attic belongings, and notify neighbours before work begins.
Keep an eye on the forecast and work with your roofer to plan around bad weather. Have a backup plan ready in case conditions change.
Choose one main contact person and organise regular progress updates. Keep written records of any changes to the plan.
Take dated photos during the project and keep copies of warranties, receipts and documentation for future reference.
