DIY Roof Repairs for Homeowners
How Much Should You Expect to Pay for Colorbond Roofing?
Fernando Silva
Colorbond roofing has taken Australian homes by storm, and it has proven to be much more than a passing trend. The weather resistance that this roofing material offers makes it perfectly suited to Australia's prevailing climatic conditions since its baked-on finish is not vulnerable to cracking or chipping, even when it is directly exposed to UV rays. Moreover, Colorbond roofing is fire resistant, and this is an invaluable trait for homeowners that live in locations that experience occasional bush fires.
Not to mention the termite resistance and overall longevity that this material provides. With all these benefits, it is natural to presume that the price of Colorbond roofing would be beyond your budget, but you could be in for a surprise. The reality is that roofers do not charge a fixed price for Colorbond roofing installation. Instead, below are some of the aspects to factor in when estimating the amount of money you should expect to pay for Colorbond roofing.
The type of Colorbond roofing you want to be installed
Certainly, Colorbond roofing is, in essence, made up of metal supplies. However, you should know that it is available in a selection of options, so you are assured of finding roofing supplies that match your visual preference, as well as your funds. The most economical option available is the corrugated variety. Nonetheless, you should know that this option is best suited for secondary structures, such as a granny flat.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, you could choose premium Colorbond supplies, which are the most robust option available. The premium option is best adapted for coastal locations since it is resistant to both moisture and salty air. Lastly, if you have a flexible budget but do not want to splurge on roofing supplies, you could consider the powder-coated variety.
The structural integrity of your roofing structure
Once you have settled on which type of Colorbond roofing materials will be ideal for your residence, you then have to consider the structural integrity of your roofing structure. Before installation can begin, the roofing contractors will carry out a thorough evaluation of the structure. This assessment pinpoints potential trouble areas that may need to be fixed before new roofing is installed.
For example, if parts of the roofing structure are decayed, the damaged wood will have to be replaced before roofing installation. On the other hand, if you are constructing a new home build, a roofing inspection will not be necessary. It is worth noting that installing a brand new Colorbond roof is more economical than re-roofing an old structure with this material, as the contractors do not have to engage in any repairs.

Hi, welcome to my blog. My name is Tammy. A few years ago, my husband and I invested in a very old house. It was in a lovely location, but it needed a lot of love and attention. One of the biggest repair jobs was the roof. I had never climbed onto a roof before, but once I got up there, I loved it. My husband and I carried out DIY repair work and completely re-roofed the property. Since then, I have enjoyed carrying out maintenance work to keep the roof in excellent condition. I started this blog to share my knowledge about roofing with other people who might be in a similar situation.
