Before you hire
Whether you need a leak repaired, a full re-roof or a new roof, roofing work is expensive and hard to fix if done poorly. Ask any roofing contractor for a written warranty on both materials and workmanship, confirm they carry public liability insurance, and request photos of recent comparable jobs before committing.

Before you hire a roofer on the North Shore
Drawn from 251 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.
What does roofing work typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more
Re-roofing in New Zealand runs from $80 to $200 per square metre for materials and labour combined. A standard house with 150 to 200 square metres of roof area will cost between $15,000 and $40,000 or more.
Auckland jobs sit toward the upper end of that range due to higher local labour rates. Corrugated steel like Colorsteel is the most affordable option, while tiles, slate, and standing seam metal push costs noticeably higher.
Repair jobs vary widely: a minor leak fix can cost a few hundred dollars, while patching flashings, repointing, or repainting a tile roof sits in the low thousands. Gutter replacement is often quoted separately and adds cost, so confirm upfront whether it is included.
Roof pitch, access difficulty, and disposal of old materials all affect the final price, and these are common extras that catch owners off guard. Quotes that look competitive can gap out quickly once underlay replacement and new flashings are added, so always ask for a fully itemised breakdown before comparing prices.
How do I know if a roofer's recommended repairs are actually necessary? expand_more
A legitimate roof assessment should include a physical inspection from the roof itself, not just a look from the ground, and the assessor should be able to show you photos of specific problem areas before quoting any work. One review in this set describes being told a full replacement was needed after a supposed inspection that no one at the property witnessed, followed by a demand for $1,000 for a written report, which is a significant red flag.
If a roofer recommends major work, ask for a second opinion from an independent assessor, and in at least one case documented here, a second opinion saved the homeowner from an unnecessary $30,000-plus spend. Honest operators will tell you when a repair is sufficient rather than pushing a full re-roof, and several reviewers specifically praised roofers who advised them not to replace prematurely.
What should a roofing quote include before I accept it? expand_more
A written quote should name the specific roofing product and grade being installed, such as the Colorsteel profile or tile coating brand, so you can compare like for like across multiple quotes. It should also spell out whether old material removal and disposal, new underlay, flashings, and gutters are included, because these are the items most likely to appear as surprise charges later.
Payment schedule, projected start and completion dates, and any conditions around weather delays should all be stated clearly before you sign anything. If a building consent is required for your job, the quote should confirm who is responsible for obtaining it and whether that cost is included.
What are the warning signs of a roofer you shouldn't hire? expand_more
- –A quote arrives without itemised costs, making it impossible to see what materials, disposal, and labour are each contributing to the total price.
- –The roofer identifies additional damage mid-job and charges for extra work without getting your written approval first.
- –Workers leave nails, screws, sharp metal off-cuts, or other debris on your property after completing the job, which multiple reviewers flagged as both a safety risk and a sign of poor workmanship culture.
- –You only find out a deadline has been missed when you contact them yourself, rather than being informed proactively.
- –The company fails to respond to quote requests at all, or goes silent after taking a deposit, as several reviewers experienced across different operators in this area.
- –Post-job warranty documentation is vague or never provided, leaving you with no clear recourse if leaks develop later.
What should you ask before hiring a roofer? expand_more
- –Ask whether they hold a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) licence with a Roofing endorsement, which is a legal requirement for supervised roofing work under the Building Act 2004, and request their LBP number so you can verify it on the Building Practitioners public register.
- –Ask whether they are a member of the Roofing Association of New Zealand (RANZ), as membership signals commitment to industry standards and access to dispute resolution.
- –Confirm exactly what the quote includes: old material removal and disposal, new underlay, flashings, gutters, and building consent if required.
- –Ask what their process is if they find additional damage once work has started, and get a commitment that no extra charges will be approved without your written sign-off.
- –Ask what workmanship warranty they offer, how long it lasts, and whether it is backed in writing with the documentation provided on job completion.
- –Ask for references from recent jobs on similar roof types, particularly if your roof has a complex pitch, chimneys, skylights, or multiple levels, as these features are where quality and communication gaps tend to show up most.

How are the top roofers on the North Shore chosen? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for roofers on the North Shore. Each one is scored on its public rating and review record. Businesses outside the area, or whose reviews describe a different line of work, are left out, and a business whose main Google category is a different trade is held back until a person has checked what it does. A business whose website no longer resolves and that has had no Google review for six months is treated as dormant and left off the page until either changes. Every category and city is rechecked on a rolling cycle, about every two to three months. A location with a subscribing business is rechecked every month, and the whole page updates with it. See how we rank for the full method.

Why isn't my business listed? expand_more
