A commercial roofer can work on large-scale projects for business properties, such as retail outlets, offices and hotels. As well as being different in size, these projects often have specific requirements for aesthetics and need to provide the least amount of disruption possible.

Many of the roof installers featured specialise in residential work. Besides constructing new roofs, they also carry out roofing repairs and maintenance on houses and apartment buildings. The roofers are also responsible for protecting the interior while work is being carried out.

Often, houses in New Zealand have pitched roofs with tiles. Most installers are familiar with all materials, but it’s best to use one that is experienced with tiles. Laying them requires skill, and although they’re durable, they can get broken if mishandled. 

A metal roof is also an option. In this case, roofers will need to calculate the slope, install underlayment, attach a standing seam and secure it with the proper tools. 

You'll need a specific service if you’re working with a flat roof. These roofs often involve working with asphalt and require additional consideration for maintenance and water drainage.

Steel roof installation is a specific type of metal roofing. In New Zealand, it can include large sheets or tiles. It might involve cutting to size or getting precise measurements before starting the job.

They take health and safety extremely seriously and keep you informed of how long a job will take and what your budget will be. They also often have great industry connections to roofing suppliers, with the ability to make specific recommendations and can potentially get you trade discounts in some cases.
