Dan is a licensed roofer who inspects every roof himself and tells you honestly whether it needs a repair, a restoration or nothing yet. Every restoration comes with a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Much of Cranebrook was built through the late 1970s and 1980s, so many homes here have concrete tile roofs that are now 35 to 45 years old. At that age the coating has usually worn off the tiles, the bedding and pointing under the ridge capping has started to crack, and broken tiles let water in during heavy rain.
Cranebrook backs onto bushland and has plenty of established trees, so leaves and debris collect in gutters and valleys, and moss and lichen grow on the shaded side of the roof. When a valley blocks, water can back up under the tiles, and the first sign is often a stain on a ceiling after a storm.
Cranebrook is a short drive north of our base in Penrith, so it’s easy for Dan to come out and inspect your roof. He’ll explain what he finds and tell you honestly whether it needs a few repairs, a full restoration or can be left for now. Recent jobs include a roof restoration here in Cranebrook, a roof restoration in nearby Llandilo and a metal roof restoration in Cambridge Park.
If your roof only has a few cracked tiles, some loose capping or a leak after a storm, a repair may be all it needs. We find the cause of the problem and fix it properly rather than patching over it.
Most standard repairs to tiles and capping take between a couple of hours and a day.
When your concrete tiles have faded and the capping is cracking in several places, a restoration brings the whole roof back into good condition. For many older Cranebrook homes, this is the right next step.
We restore all three main roof types:
Every restoration includes cleaning, replacing broken tiles, redoing all the ridge caps and three coats of paint, one primer and two colour coats.
When a roof has reached the end of its life, replacing it is better value than repairing it again and again. We replace tile roofs with new tiles or with Colorbond, and we’ll tell you honestly if restoration is still an option.
Reroofing is priced at $120 to $130 per square metre, whether you are going tile to tile or tile to Colorbond.
A new coating can refresh a faded roof and lift the look of your home, as long as the surface underneath is sound. Roof cleaning, gutter cleaning and whirlybirds help keep your roof in good condition between bigger jobs.
Before any paint goes on, we clean your roof and repair any damage, so the coating has a solid surface to bond to.
Based in Penrith, Roof Ranger works across Western Sydney, the Hills District, the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury and Macarthur, including Cranebrook and the suburbs around it.
Cranebrook sits just north of Penrith, between Castlereagh and Jordan Springs, and we also work in all the suburbs around it.
Book a free roof inspection and quote, and Dan will explain what he finds in plain language before any work is booked.
Roof restoration is priced at $20 to $28 per square metre. For a single-storey home that is usually $4,500 to $6,500, and for a double storey $7,000 to $8,000. Smaller repairs, such as replacing broken tiles and redoing some capping, generally cost $1,000 to $2,000. Every quote is free and comes after we’ve inspected your roof.
Roof Ranger does repairs on their own. If your roof is generally sound and the problem is a leak, a few cracked tiles or some loose capping, Dan will fix that and leave the rest of the roof alone. If the inspection shows the whole roof is wearing out, he’ll explain why a restoration may be better value.
Common causes are cracked tiles, worn ridge capping, valleys and gutters blocked with leaves, and damaged flashing around skylights, vents and solar panel fixings. Homes near bushland or big trees tend to collect more debris in their valleys, so it’s worth having them checked before storm season.
Roof Ranger replaces roofs as well as restoring them. If your roof is past restoring, we can re-roof in new tiles or switch to Colorbond. Re-roofing is priced at $120 to $130 per square metre and typically takes three to four days on site.
A full roof restoration typically takes about two days, depending on the size of the roof and the weather. Standard repairs to tiles and capping usually take between a couple of hours and a day.
Painting suits a roof that is sound but faded. If there are cracked tiles, worn capping or leaks, a restoration fixes those first and then applies a primer and two colour coats, so the finish has a sound roof underneath it.
Roof Ranger repairs and restores Colorbond and other metal roofs, including replacing loose screws, resealing joins, treating rust and replacing damaged sheets. If the roof is past restoring, we can replace it as well.
Roof Ranger holds NSW contractor licence 244547C and carries the required insurances for roofing work. Every roof restoration is also backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
