Getting your roof replaced? Learn more about when is the best time

  • April 8, 2021
  • Helpful Information

With the wet season drawing to a close, many of you may be starting to notice damage to your roof – and considering whether it’s time to invest in either repairs or a replacement roof. 

It is always best to fix any issues with your roof as soon as they appear, so the problem doesn’t worsen or cause internal damages. For peace of mind, A.M.J Metal Roofing provides year-round services.

Damage to roofs in the wet season

Alongside our great Queensland weather with blue skies and warm temperatures, we also have storms which brings with it heavy rainfall, wind and hail. It’s important to be aware of the potential damage this can mean for roofs across the region.  

Here are a few signs that your roof may need fixing or that you may need to invest in a new roof: 

  • Loose or lifting roof sheets. You might be able to hear flapping or whistling sounds when it is windy.
  • Signs of corrosion to the roof, flashings or gutters.
  • Cracks and holes. Tile roofs require more regular maintenance than a metal roof. It may be possible to have a tiled roof replaced with metal sheeting.
  • Mould on interior walls and ceilings: this often means there may be damage to your roof and you’ll want to sort it out as soon as possible to avoid possible health issues caused by interior mould.
  • Damage to gutters/drain pipes: you can look for these visually by walking around your house and noting how these elements are functioning – especially when their workload is increased with heavy rainfall. 

Preparing for the wet season

Doing any necessary repairs or getting a roof replacement in advance of the wet season will help to give you peace of mind and know that you are prepared for whatever the weather may be. 

Make sure you carry out a roof inspection at least once a year – ideally towards the end of the wet season. This is when you’re most likely to see damage. 

Once you have identified any issues, you can schedule repair and/or replacement works for the dry season when you should be guaranteed a time period for works to be carried out. 

Another great way to prepare for the wet season is to ensure your gutters and downpipes are cleaned of any leaf debris. Excess build-up of leaves and debris in the gutters and downpipes is a common cause of water ingress.

What to expect with a new roof 

Find a trusted roofing company to carry out your works. A.M.J Metal Roofing has excellent reviews and a superb local reputation. Speak to us about any questions and queries – we’ll be happy to talk you through the process. 

Depending on the size and state of the roof, it can take between 3-5 days for a re-roof but each case varies and we’ll help you to assess your home and needs on an individual basis.

We use top quality materials and generally advise that a Brisbane roof will last between 25 and 30 years. This can give you peace of mind that initial upfront costs are worth the investment. 

Learning to look after your new roof or your roof repairs will help to ensure that your roof stays in a good condition for as long as possible. With a good roof in place you’ll be ready to weather any storms once the wet season comes around again.

AMJ completed a roof replacement at our home. This involved removal of our old asbestos roof and replacing with a new colorbond roof, guttering and insulation. They also installed a new roof over our deck using insulated paneling.We were really happy with the end product and the care the AMJ team took in all their work. The team at AMJ kept us informed throughout the planning, the job was completed really quickly and I would recommend them to anyone.

I was getting a Building and Pest inspection done on a house in Annerley I was looking at buying. Because of that storm cell that hit Annerley in 2014 I also had Dennis at A.M.J come out for a second opinion on the "tin" roof. The Building and Pest guys gave the roof the all clear, "No damage, the roof is good". Dennis actually got out the ladder, climbed up the side of the high-set Queenslander and properly inspected the roof. Two minutes, and a half dozen photo's later, he climb's back down to tell me the roof has been severely damaged by hail, and will have to be replaced. Without a proper quote, anywhere up to $30 000. Well, thank you Dennis! That would have been a very expensive mistake you helped me avoid if I had just taken the word of a very reputable, local Building and Pest company. I have contacted that company asking for a full refund! Again, thank you Dennis and A.M.J, very happy to recommend anyone to your company!! Cheers Mark @ Annerley

AMJ Metal Roofing replaced our terracotta tile roof with a new colorbond roof. Their detailed quote gave peace of mind during the entire process. AMJ covered every detail involved in carrying out this project. 5 star service throughout the entire AMJ team. We love our new roof, thank you!

These guys were very efficient with your paperwork & contract...great to deal with! We had had a number of people look at our (quite flat) roof over the years and your guys spent quite a while on the roof & said they knew what the problem was... The roof got tested with two big downpours - staff ready with buckets & sqeegees - we had no further leaks.3 works to describe AMJ? Efficient, competent, organized.You guys really know what youre doing...very well done!

AMJ was a great company to deal with. In 2011 I had the roof and guttering of my Sunnybank Hills property replaced by AMJ Metal Roofing. The new colour bond roof looked great and the job was completed with no disruption to our family and no rubbish left on site. The cost was very competitive. The roof withstood two severe hailstorms during the subsequent years with no damage or leaks.In 2017 I listed this property for sale and was required to supply a detailed independent building report which included an internal inspection of the roof. It was noted during this inspection that a small number of screws were not fixed properly into one of the batons. I rang AMJ Roofing and within 48 hours a company representative had come to the property, replaced the screws and provided certification for the work. I was very pleased with the service 6 years after the original job.

Could not recommend AMJ Metal roofing more. Their company and staff were amazing to deal with. From the first initial contact to get a quote through to the completion of the roof has been so easy. From Jenna in the office who was easy to get in contact with and replied to emails and call very fast to Nigel who quoted, Matt who checked on the work process and all the tradies just made the entire process of replacing our old roof with a new metal roof so easy. We couldn't be happier with the work that was done. All the tradies were wonderful and polite, they would let us know what was happening each day with the work and the time frame was great from start to finish the work took 4 days.I would recommend AMJ Metal roofing to everyone who needs a new roof or just maintenance. Very, very happy

Thanks for our new roof!From the moment we first contacted AMJ, and right up until the roof was completed, we knew we had made the right decision to employ their services.Nigel provided us with an extremely thorough quote and offered us some helpful advice along the way. Nigel's quote actually involved him climbing onto the roof for a detailed inspection - unlike some quotes we received from others in the industry..Dennis then took the reigns and looked after us extremely well throughout the whole asbestos removal and subsequent roof installation process, and ensured that the finished product was exactly as had been quoted and was completed to a very high standard.Shanelle at their head office was always extremely thorough when assisting us with any queries we had and was always a pleasure to speak with. We are extremely happy with our new Zincalume roof. Not only does our home look fantastic, the internal house temperature during summer was significantly reduced once the new roof and insulation had been installed.Thank you to the team at AMJ for a job well done.Matt & JasMJ Renovations

We have had a very positive experience with AMJ. From the initial consultation with their sales person (Nigel), meeting one of the directors (Alan) to explain in detail their roofing solutions, dealing with their staff (James, Craig and others) through to their helpful administration staff (Shanelle) we have had exceptional service. Their pricing was very competitive and they delivered everything they said they would, on time and kept us well informed. I highly recommend them!Dirk Witteveen - Sheldon

We had to replace our deteriorated Cement Tiled roof and AMJ won the job after researching and comparing quotes from other companies. We are thrilled with the results of our new Colourbond metal roof. Nigel quoted and answered all questions we had, Shanelle was just as helpful from the Office, Dennis and the Team were punctual, friendly, very professional and left our yard tidy. The roof was on in 2 days with zero interruption to familly life. Dennis even saved us future heartache and expense when removing the existing solar hot water tank. It was too dodgy to put back up and he co-ordinated with the Plumber for installation of a new system. I was kept up to date with photos and text messages and phone calls before, during and after the job. We rate AMJ Roofing 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend the Team to anyone requiring a roofing specialist.

Excellent from start to finish. Nigel organised the quote and was very professional and the quote was competitive. Dennis coordinated the work from delivery, managing the site and clean up. Good communication, no fuss and very responsive to questions. Very happy with our full roof replacement on a 1926 Queenslander.

Cameron was totally professional and competent. He advised us well. The speed with which the job was finished - a complete roof renewal - was just amazing. The work was done thoroughly, all rubbish was taken away speedily and the Manor red colorbond roof looks just like the advert; I stand and stare in amazement at the beauty of this new roof. I throughly recommend AMJ Metal Roofing.

Thank you so much to the AMJ Team for our new roof!It was a great experience from meeting Nigel for the quote, talking with the team in the office and having our foreman Denis overseeing the job at every stage was seemless and professional. The team went to every length to ensure we were 100% happy with the job.We would throughly recommend AMJ to anyone wanting to transform their home or business.Thanks again, Simon and Emma.

We are very happy with the roof replacement performed by AMJ on our colonial style home. The tradesmen were a very talented, efficient and friendly group who worked together like a well oiled machine. Their supervisor Graham did a great job keeping us informed and updated and the job ran smoothly. We would not hesitate to recommend them to any one looking for metal roofers.

AMJ Metal Roofing replaced my leaking corrugated roof. Done in a few days with crane and scaffolding. All stages closely scheduled and done in a highly efficient manner. May not be the cheapest but AMJ Metal Roofing is an outstanding company to deal with (and I am not gaining anything by submitting this review). My wife was similarly impressed with the thorough cleanup when the job was finished.

Nobody *wants* a leaking roof. But if you do end up facing that stressful situation, get a quote from AMJ. They weren’t the cheapest but they were the most professional and only ones out of three that really thought through the problem and came up with a clever and workable solution for the shoddy roof design and build at our place.All their staff have been great to work with - always on time, polite, contactable. They made a stressful situation much better for us.I’m hoping not to have any problems with this roof for many years but if I need help with another roof, I’ll be calling AMJ!

If you contract with AMJ Roofing you can be sure of a top quality finish using quality products. They recently replaced my 31yr old leaking tile roof with Colourbond and I could not be happier. The tradies were a lovely happy bunch of guys. I have a whole new house! When it rains I don’t have to go looking for the leaks.Alex was my supervisor and he was wonderful. Kept me informed all the way. In fact, I think the guttering guy let him down, so Alex put on his tool belt and got the job done.You can’t go wrong with AMJ Roofing. Info: I am on the Gold Coast.

Our experience with AMJ can be summed up in one word: exceptional!The team demonstrated absolute professionalism while tackling a very complicated re-roofing project on a busy medical building. Despite the challenges of limited access and working above a live, fully operational medical center on a bustling road, AMJ managed the entire project seamlessly.We received constant updates throughout, and the customer service provided by Shanelle was second to none. The finished product is flawless, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend AMJ for any roofing project.We look forward to working with them again!

Terrible experience after dealing with this inept company for six long months. I contacted AMJ Metal Roofing last February to get a quote from their estimator, the very young handsome. Joshua Bain. He is a very presentable young man, who was very professional flying a drone around my property. I accepted his quotation, and that was the start of my problems leading to many unwanted sleepless nights. I was ready to pay the balance of their invoice and in fact, had a bank cheque for the balance in my hand and gave the cheque to the estimator. When there was a fault I withdrew their cheque. In summary I had the Building Inspector at my property on three occasions. The job AMJ did for me was to replace all my guttering and downpipes, and replace my patio. It would be remise of me if I didn't mention Emily. the administration assistant for all her help, as she was very pleasant to deal with both over the phone and in our email conversations. Their, GM, Sarah didn't come into the picture until much later. Sarah made light of the water gushing down from my downpipes. saying it was a "minor" defect. The many problems I encountered with AMJ affected my health, causing me loss of sleep, and my brother, whom I confided in headaches. Initially. when decided on the company I should employ I chose AMJ over Justin from Leakfree Plumbing. What a huge mistake I made. Finally, after the third Building Inspector's report and after six months, he said I could go ahead and pay AMJ, I waited until the recent heavy downpour before I paid AMJ in full last week. I requested a receipt from GM, Sarah and am still waiting. Dealing with AMJ Metal Roofing has been a nightmare for me and regardless of their favourable reviews I recommend you should do yourself a favour and avoid AMJ Metal Roofing like the plague.
