Look at the before images of the roof accompanying this post and you might think it belongs to a shed in outback Australia, not a Melbourne home in the inner-city suburb of Collingwood.
With the extent of the issues – such as rusted metal, holes, lifting metal roofing, deteriorating gutters and issues with flashing – the homeowners faced a dilemma. Go ahead with repairs that would only be temporary at best or bite the bullet and reroof.
What would you do in their situation?
One of the side-effects from the COVID-19 pandemic was that more people started spending time improving their homes. While activity has slowed as we’ve returned to our normal lives, DIY is still big business in Melbourne and indeed across Australia.
A roof replacement is something you probably don’t want to do. Let’s face it, for those that live in Melbourne, right now we’d rather spend the money on a holiday to a warmer destination! However, there does come a time for every roof where it needs to be replaced.
Let’s face it, cleaning the roof of your Melbourne home is not something that’s top of your mind. What to eat for dinner, whether it’s going to rain today or who to pick in tonight’s footy game are more likely to take priority. Roof cleaning, less so!
