The Job
This Wynnum home on Mountjoy Terrace copped a proper hammering during a severe hailstorm, with large hailstones causing widespread damage across the property. While the main roof is concrete tile, the patio roof and gutters are metal, and it was this section that bore the brunt of the storm. Detail Roofing was brought in to replace the damaged patio roofing, covering an area of approximately 20 square metres.
The Challenge
One of the key things about this job was making sure the right trade handled the right work. The main roof at this property is tiled, but the patio roof and gutters are metal, and metal roofing is a completely different trade, licence, and qualification to roof tiling. A roof tiler simply isn't qualified to carry out metal roofing work, even on the same property. Getting this distinction right matters, especially after storm damage, because using the wrong trade for the job can lead to poor workmanship, non-compliant repairs, and ongoing problems down the track.
Detail Roofing's metal roofing specialists were engaged specifically for this reason, ensuring the patio roof was replaced by tradespeople who were properly licensed and qualified to do the work, rather than relying on a general roofer or tiler to cover work outside their scope.
The Outcome
Because this job was handled directly and privately with the homeowner rather than being pushed through a lengthy insurer process, Detail Roofing was able to move quickly, get onto site, and complete the 20 square metre metal patio roof replacement without the delays that can come from waiting in an insurer queue. The homeowner had direct control over the job from start to finish, with a clear scope of works and a straightforward path to getting the damaged patio roof fixed properly.
The result was a fully replaced metal patio roof, installed by qualified metal roofing tradespeople, giving the homeowner a durable, weathertight patio roof built to handle whatever the next storm brings.
