What We Do
Full-service roof replacement — we handle the whole job under one contract, one crew, one accountable team.
Full Strip and Re-Roof
Complete removal of the existing covering down to the trusses or battens, structural inspection, any truss or purlin repairs, new underfelt, battens, and new roof covering installed to SANS 10400.
Truss Repair and Replacement
If the inspection reveals rot, termite damage, or under-spec trusses, we cost the repair or replacement up front — engineered timber, structural approval, and full rebuild.
Insurance Claim Support
Photographs, contractor’s report, line-item quote in the format insurers prefer, and direct liaison with the adjuster. We handle storm-damage replacement claims regularly in the Garden Route.
How It Works
- Inspection and quote. Site visit, photographs, structural assessment, and a written line-item quote covering strip, structural repairs, new materials, labour, scaffolding, waste removal and VAT.
- Contract and schedule. Signed contract with a fixed start date, weather-contingency clause, and a realistic program showing daily milestones.
- Strip and inspect. Old covering removed in sections, trusses and purlins inspected, defects photographed and reported to you before we proceed.
- Rebuild with daily cover. New underfelt, battens, covering and flashings installed. Exposed structure is always covered overnight with tarpaulins.
- Final sign-off and warranty. Walk-through, snag resolution, and handover of your written workmanship guarantee plus manufacturer warranties.
Common Questions
When is it time to replace vs repair my roof?
Repair makes sense when failures are localised — a few cracked tiles, a leaking valley, a damaged ridge. Replacement makes sense when the covering has reached end-of-life, failures are widespread, or the underfelt has perished. We inspect, tell you honestly, and quote whichever is right for your roof.
How long does a full roof replacement take in George?
A straightforward strip-and-replace on a standard family home runs 5–10 working days. Complex multi-pitch roofs or jobs that uncover rotten trusses run longer — and we’ll tell you up front if that’s likely based on the inspection.
Will my home be exposed during the job?
No. We phase the strip and always cover exposed structure with tarpaulins overnight. If rain is forecast mid-job we pause the strip and keep the structure dry. Your interior stays protected.
Can you replace a roof for an insurance claim?
Yes. We regularly handle storm-damage and fire-damage roof replacement claims in the Garden Route. We provide the insurer with photos, a contractor’s report, and an itemised quote in their preferred format, then deal with adjusters directly on your behalf.
