    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone know the rough costs for re-roofing per sq meter for colourbond steel roof. Also does anyone know of any reputable roofers in Brisbane that charge a reasonable price. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Tim

    Hi there,

    Be very careful in getting quotes for re-roofing as we had an investment property that need to have a new roof and our property manager got quotes which were $13,000, $15,000 and $17,000. When I questioned the extreme costs of reroofing a high set home, the property manager's reply was that the tradesmen mentioned there was asbestos in the roof.  I had a friend at the time find a roofing company and asked him to go have a look at the house to give me a quote and find out whether there was asbestos in the roof.  Surprise, surprise. The roof did not have any evidence of asbestos and the quote came in at $6,800 which was a personal favour, where normally he would charge around $8,000.

    I viewed it as a pretty bad reflection on the property manager that I had at the time. So much so that in a couple of months we had a new property manager looking after our property portfolio.

    If you like, shoot me a personal message and I will dig up his number for you.

    Hi Serry,

    Thanks for your post. I have had 2 quotes so far, and 3 or 4 more to come in yet. So far I have been quoted $12,400 and $17,025 for the same job. My thoughts is our roof should cost around $10,000 as we only have a small house. If you have those contact details for a good roofer I would appreciate if you could send them through. I have sent you a PM.

    many thanks,
    Tim
