In Cairns, water is the first thing a roof has to beat. Monsoon rain, as Ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper showed in December 2023, finds every tired lap, failed flashing and undersized gutter, while constant humidity speeds up corrosion and mould. Cairns is also in Cyclone Region C, so older homes often need tie-down work as well as new sheets. We look at all of it together, so you’re not paying to fix the same roof twice. Call 1300 606 955 or ask for a free quote and we’ll book in your inspection.
We use high-performance materials selected for your site. Humidity and salt both speed up corrosion in Cairns, so we check BlueScope’s guidance for your site before quoting.
COLORBOND® steel (Classic finish) — the go-to steel for most Cairns homes back from the coast.
COLORBOND® Ultra steel — the upgrade for the northern beaches and other homes close to the water.
ZINCALUME® steel — practical bare-metal sheeting for sheds and rural buildings.
From Gordonvale to Palm Cove, we’ll give you practical advice on your Cairns roof, starting with where the water is really getting in.
Roof Installation
New home, shed or extension in Cairns? We install roofing detailed for tropical rain and fixed for cyclone conditions.
Re-Roofing & Metal Roof Replacement
Full metal re-roofs on older homes, with tie-down, battens and flashings checked while the roof is open.
Roof Repairs & Maintenance
Tropical leaks can be hard to trace. We find the source and fix it properly.
Gutters & Roof Plumbing
Standard gutters can struggle in a Cairns downpour. We replace gutters, downpipes and overflow details so water stays out of the house.
Roof Inspections
Before the wet season or before you buy, we inspect the roof and give you a clear answer on its condition.
Commercial Roofing & Government Rebate Assistance
We do commercial re-roofing in Cairns. Homes within 50 km of the coast from Bundaberg north may qualify for Queensland’s Household Resilience Program, depending on the home’s age, your income and whether funding is open. We can help you check.
