Last week we replaced a roof in Brisbane's inner city in New Farm with Colorbond® corrugated sheeting in the colour 'Surfmist'.

Colorbond® has become a popular option when re-roofing homes. The key benefits for installing it is the materials durability, anti-corrosion properties, and its ability to retain very long-lasting colour.

This is the roof before the roof replacement:

What are your colour options?
Unsure which colour to choose? Here are some things to think about when choosing your roof colour.

A leaking roof if  left unrepaired can lead to serious structural damage. 

Signs of leaks include internal water entry, wet insulation, ceiling stains or mould. If roof leaks are not repaired quickly, they can lead to widespread damage to walls, fittings, furniture and your 
house structure. Severe damage can be reduced if roof repairs and maintenance are carried out when needed - before it is too late!

Common roof leaks are a result of:

- Cracks in ridge capping
- Broken roof tiles
- Rusted screws or roof sheets
- Poorly installed or sealed flashing
- Leaf litter build-up in gutters and valleys

Here is a job we attended at Elanora recently, where we found approx 16 x broken roof tiles and a broken barge cap, as well as leaf litter buildup in the valleys and guttering. These are obvious issues that you don't need to be a roofer to see! Broken tiles and leaf filled valleys are some of the most common causes of roof leaks - with water then backflowing under the roof tiles and straight into your roof cavity.

Last week our team replaced a roof in the hail affected suburb of Woolloongabba on Brisbane's inner city southside. This Manor Red roof had obvious hail damage to the roof sheeting, cappings, flashings and whirly birds. 

Manor Red is a great colour for heritage styled homes. Greens, creams, greys and white are often used with this colour scheme and look great for highset Queenslanders or similar styled homes. You can head over the the Colorbond website to see more options.

The photos below show the condition of the roof before - hail dents, worn coating and a roof that was at the end of its life.

Hail impacted roof sheeting needs to be replaced on your house roof. Why you might ask? 
Your roof is your homes biggest asset - it keeps your home watertight and protected. Once hail has impacted your roof sheeting, signs such as dents and the loss of the top layer of paint are clear signs of damage.  Dents can compromise the life of your metal roof.  If notable dents have been caused, this allows for the possibly of water and dirt to pool in these dents and cause corrosion. Similarly, if you have a low-pitch metal roof where the sheets of metal overlap and hail damage has caused these laps to deform, water could become caught in these laps and also cause corrosion.
