Look Up Roof Restoration

We found Look Up (via word of mouth from others who had used their service) to be both a professional and friendly business which efficiently delivered an excellent outcome in replacing the old guttering and down pipes on our house. We certainly recommend Kevin Brown and his boys to others seeking similar work on their homes. Jim and Lorene

Full Roof restoration – Kevin was so good to deal with, absolutely no nonsense with him, no hard sell or or continual upselling attempts, you make your own decisions based on what you want and with him, what you see is what you get, making the process so easy. When he quoted my job and we agreed on a price, it was done on time and on budget and… Read more

his boys Daniel and Nathan were very prompt, professional and helpful, explaining every step of the process and they did a fantastic job of restoring our tile roof and installing the Colorbond fascia and barge boards. Kevin didn't even bat an eyelid when I asked to add a couple of replacement Colorbond sheets to the job, he just got on with it in his normal unflappable manner. A fine example of quality workmanship and a very, very competitive price. I could not recommend Kevin and his team at Look Up Roofing more highly for your roof restoration.

Recommended! A good quality family business. Next: - the detail, if you want it: 1st – the saga. When our house was half-built in 1986, the builder went bust, and to complete the house the Insolvency Accountant brought in cheapo tradies, who did poor workmanship on the gutters and downpipes. 2nd, when the house was about 20 years old, and the… Read more

concrete tiles had begun to grow artistic lichens (which would have made them porous, eventually) a company came around offering re-sealing and a ‘Lifetime guarantee’. “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” The Lifetime guarantee turned into ‘firm gone bust’ a few years later, just as the shortcomings of that resealing job became evident.

Our current job: reseal roof, replace fascia boards and guttering, and down-pipes, eliminating the blockage points (45 degree angles only).

I got several quotes, some of which were exorbitant, and avoiding quotes from the inheritors of the fly-by-night roof-resealers now doing the rounds. I got a good vibe from this family business, Kevin-the-dad, when he did the quote. And then? we had a series of medical and other emergencies over several months. Detailed points positive follow: Kevin renewed the quote at same price. When his sons showed up to strip the roof, it was worse than they’d realised: “The last lot didn’t put primer down, we’ll have to peel all their paint off”. They cleaned it off anyway, a quarter-day job taking a full day. The solution (clever, cheaper) of covering the existing fascia boards with Colourbond, they added to with a once-only opportunity to add termite powder. (We found the very beginnings of an apparent termite infestation the week they were due to start; then – professionalism and curiosity – later, Daniel ID’d that the infestation was only a carpenter ants’ nest – undesirable but not catastrophic.) The gutters, installed, are straight, and have that tiny 1% slope towards the rainwater tank. We won’t see gutters overflow at every cloudburst. The downpipes are set up with 45 degree bends, enabling cleaning of leaf-litter. (A neighbour also has large trees.) The resealing is ‘the real deal’ with the primer coat followed by a second detailing, prior to final coat. The new gutters are ‘bottom supported’, a clean run for both water and cleaning leaf-litter; theoretically easy-cleanable by a leaf-blower and attachment from the ground. Between price, attention to detail, and quality of work, we couldn’t be happier.

Great local business – Excellent service - quick, tidy and professional. I will definitely use them for future work on rebedding, recapping and also my neighbour’s beautiful roof re-paint that they did looks awesome. Next time I’ll do the whole thing.

Roof restoration – I can highly recommend Look Up Roofing for your roof restoration. Kevin was so good to deal with making the process easy. Daniel and Nathan were very prompt and did a fantastic job of restoring our tile roof. Quality workmanship and a competitive price.

Great service and result – I can highly recommend these roof restorers we have now used them on two properties and both times the results have been great. They are highly professional and really know their business. Their quotes were competitive, they turned up exactly on time, were informative, gave good advice on colours and everywhere was left spotlessly clean.
