About Roofing Company Tauranga

Who We Are

Roofing is what we do, all day, every day. It is not a sideline to a building company and it is not something we picked up along the way. That matters more than it sounds, because almost everything that decides whether a roof lasts thirty years or fifteen is a detail you will never see from the ground - the fixings, the flashing laps, the way a valley is set out, what happens where the roof meets a wall.

You get one number to ring for the whole job, from the first measure through to the final walk around. If something is not right afterwards, you ring the same number.

We are based at Mount Maunganui and we work across Tauranga city, the Mount, Papamoa, Bethlehem, Otumoetai, Welcome Bay, Pyes Pa, Te Puna, Omokoroa, Katikati, Te Puke and Waihi Beach. Residential and commercial. New builds, re-roofs, repairs, spouting and roof painting.

How We Work

Some of this is ordinary and some of it is unusual, and we would rather set it out plainly than describe ourselves as passionate about roofing.

• We quote from the roof, not the driveway. A price per square metre given over the phone is worth nothing, because everything that determines what a roof costs is invisible from ground level: the state of the timber, the number of penetrations, whether the flashings can be reused, and how you get materials up there safely.
• The quote is written and itemised. Product, profile and colour named, with scaffolding, disposal and GST shown separately. That is what lets you put two quotes side by side and see what one of them has left out.
• We specify for your address. How far you are from breaking surf changes the substrate, the coating, the fixings and the flashing material. Salt is the reason roofs fail early in this part of the country and it is the first thing we ask about.
• Scaffold and edge protection, always. Including on single-storey work. It is how the job is done safely and it is also why the finished edges are neat.
• Watertight every night. On a re-roof we work across the roof in sections, and the house is closed in and made watertight before we leave at the end of each day.
• We tell you when you do not need us. If your roof has ten good years in it and needs two flashings and a wash, that is what we will say - even though a re-roof would be worth a great deal more.

Why Coastal Specification Is Our Thing

If there is one thing worth taking away from this website, it is this. Tauranga is a marine environment, and a roof specification that is perfectly adequate well inland will not give you the same life at Mount Maunganui, Papamoa or Waihi Beach. Salt attacks steel continuously, and a roof is only as good as its weakest component - there is no point putting a premium sheet on and then fixing it down with the wrong screws.

Areas that never get rained on are worse than the ones that do. Under an eave, under a carport, on a sheltered face - salt lands there and is never rinsed off. Those are the places roofs fail first, and they are also the places manufacturer warranties expect you to wash. Nobody tells homeowners that, so we do.
