How do you know when a roof needs a real repair versus a full replacement? This episode walks through four diagnostic questions every Australian homeowner can run — age and material, percentage damaged, secondary damage to the structure, and whether matching materials are still available — plus six tell-tale signs that mean replacement is the smarter call.
In this episode:
- The four-question diagnostic every Australian homeowner can run before calling a roofer
- Lifespan benchmarks for Colorbond steel, concrete tile, terracotta and slate roofs
- The 20-percent rule for when targeted patching stops making economic sense
- How secondary damage to ceilings, joists and insulation changes the calculus
- Six concrete signals that mean replace, not repair
- Why getting at least two written quotes for any job over $5,000 is non-negotiable
Resources mentioned:
- When to repair vs replace your roof
- Roof repair costs in Australia
