What is Re-Roofing and Why Is It Necessary?

Re-roofing involves replacing your existing roof with a new one. Unlike roof restoration, which focuses on repairing and rejuvenating your current roof, re-roofing is a complete replacement that addresses more severe damage or outdated materials. If your roof is beyond repair or has suffered significant wear and tear, re-roofing is often the most cost-effective and long-term solution.

Why Re-Roofing May Be Necessary

  • Severe Roof Damage: If your roof has extensive damage that can’t be repaired, re-roofing is the most effective solution.
  • Outdated Materials: Older roofs, particularly tile or metal roofs, may need to be replaced if they’ve reached the end of their lifespan.
  • Roof Leaks: Persistent leaks that cannot be fixed with restoration or minor repairs may require re-roofing.

Average Cost of Re-Roofing in Sydney in 2025

The cost of re-roofing in Sydney can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the size of your roof, the materials you choose, and the complexity of the installation. However, on average, you can expect the cost of re-roofing to range from $20,000 to $30,000+. Below, we’ll break down some key factors that influence the cost of re-roofing in Sydney.

Key Factors Influencing Re-Roofing Costs

  • Roof Size: Larger roofs will naturally cost more to replace due to the increased amount of materials and labor required.
  • Roof Material: The material you choose plays a major role in the cost. At Action Roofing, we offer a variety of materials, including:
  • Zincalume: A cost-effective metal roofing material known for its durability.
  • Colorbond: A popular and modern choice, Colorbond roofing is ideal for homeowners looking for style and durability.
  • Tiles: While traditional, tiled roofs can be more expensive due to the materials and installation time required.
  • Roof Pitch: The steeper the pitch, the more difficult and time-consuming the job becomes, thus increasing labor costs.
  • Access to Roof: If your property has limited access, we may need to use specialised equipment or even cranes, which can increase the overall cost.
  • Removal of Old Roof: The cost of removing the old roof and disposing of the materials can also add to the overall price, particularly if there are multiple layers of roofing material to be removed.

Average Costs for Common Roofing Materials in 2025

  • Zincalume or Colorbond Roofing: Expect to pay between $20,000 to $25,000 for re-roofing with these materials on an average-sized home.
  • Tile Roofing: Re-roofing with tiles can cost between $25,000 to $30,000+ depending on the size and complexity of your roof.
  • Other Materials (Slate, etc.): High-end materials like slate can push the cost to $30,000+ or more for larger roofs.

What is the Difference Between Re-Roofing and Roof Restoration?

While re-roofing involves the complete replacement of your roof, roof restoration is an option for roofs that are still in decent condition but need repairs and updates to extend their life. Here’s a breakdown of the difference:

  • Re-Roofing: Entire roof replacement, usually due to severe damage or outdated materials. It’s the more expensive option but offers long-term benefits.
  • Roof Restoration: A more affordable option for old or dirty roofs that need a refresh. The restoration process includes pressure cleaning, re-pointing, re-bedding, and sealing to extend the roof’s life by 10-15 years.

Common Challenges in Re-Roofing

While re-roofing can resolve many issues, there are still some challenges homeowners face:

  1. Unexpected Structural Repairs: Sometimes, your roof may require structural repairs that weren’t evident during the initial inspection.
  2. Weather Delays: Sydney’s weather can sometimes cause delays, particularly in the wet season.
  3. Material Shortages: There can occasionally be delays in getting the materials needed for your roof replacement, especially with high-demand materials like Colorbond or Zincalume.

How to Save on Re-Roofing Costs in Sydney

There are several ways to keep costs down when re-roofing your Sydney home:

  • Choose More Affordable Materials: While Colorbond and Zincalume are popular choices, opting for simpler materials like Zincalume can save money.
  • Book During Off-Peak Seasons: Roofers tend to be less busy during certain months, which can result in lower labor costs.
  • Get Multiple Quotes: Always compare quotes from multiple roofing companies to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Conclusion

Re-roofing your property is a significant investment that requires careful planning and consideration. In 2025, the average cost of re-roofing in Sydney ranges between $20,000 and $30,000, depending on factors like roof size, material choice, and the complexity of the installation.

Action Roofing was recommended by a local carpenter. Michael said I would be really happy with them - and I was. Michael knew one of the owners for many years. All the dealings I had with Paul and Peter (the owners) and subsequently Ben and Kyle, who did the actual roofing repairs, were excellent. There were plenty of photos provided (I asked for them) and Ben explained what they did, and also educated me on what makes a good job and why. More research on my part confirmed that Ben and earlier Paul, were not talking "through their hat". The repairs/maintenance were not cheap but the care Ben and Kyle showed in their work was obvious. I wanted a good job with no shortcuts. Earlier at the time Paul assessed my roof, after questioning, Paul indicated that if I wanted shortcuts, then I would have to get another roofer. Overall, very happy customer.

Peter is one of the rare tradies that is honest and accurate about what needs fixing on a job and hence doesn’t charge an arm and a leg.
We use Peter for all of our roofing jobs and I would’t risk giving a job to anyone else. He is quick to pin point the issue and his pricing is fair. I once had an owners insurance builders return 5 times to a property without fixing the issue. I asked the owner if we could send Peter which I did and the job was completed first go.

I am the Maintenance manager at a Retirement and aged care village on the Northern Beaches (Allambie Heights) and we have had the pleasure of having Action Roofing do
considerable repairs, alterations and maintenance on our many 1970 era, eves and gutters. The service was excellent, the staff very skilled ,polite efficient and clean and tidy. The Owner Peter Portelli was so very competent in all aspects. Technically the best I've been associated with. He was in high demand especially during weather incidents and even then never failed to turn up for appoints , quotes or actual work to be done. When Peter gave his assurances on a job I knew it would be done to the highest standard.
I cannot but give him references of the highest quality
