Our Step-by-Step Re-Roof Process — From Quote to Completion

Re-Roofing Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful

If you’ve never had your roof replaced before, it can feel like a big unknown.
At Aquashield Roofing, we make it simple.

We’ve built a clear, consistent process that takes you from first quote to finished roof with confidence — no surprises, no hidden extras, and no shortcuts.

Here’s how it works 👇

1️⃣ Site Visit & Roof Assessment

Every great re-roof starts with understanding what we’re working with.
We’ll visit your property to:

• Measure and assess your roof structure
• Check access and safety requirements
• Identify any risks or hidden issues
• Discuss materials, finishes, and style preferences

💬 You’ll get honest advice about what your roof needs — not a sales pitch.

After the site visit, we’ll prepare a detailed written proposal so you know exactly what’s included.

2️⃣ Detailed Quote & Material Selection

We use quoting software to build accurate, professional proposals that show:

• Full scope of work from removal to completion
• Product details (Colorsteel / ColorCote grade, underlay, flashings, fixings)
• Site protection and clean-up
• Warranties for both materials and workmanship

No vague pricing or “TBC” lines — just a transparent, all-inclusive proposal.

📋 Our quotes are detailed enough for clarity, but simple enough to understand.

3️⃣ Scheduling & Preparation

Once the quote’s accepted, we confirm your spot on our schedule.
From there, we:

• Order materials through trusted local suppliers
• Coordinate scaffolding and edge protection
• Notify you of expected start and finish dates
• Double-check weather windows and safety plans

Because we manage every part in-house, you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors or worry about communication gaps.

4️⃣ Site Setup & Safety

Before any iron comes off, our crew sets up:

• Edge protection and guardrails
• Ground safety zones
• Waste and material handling systems

We follow WorkSafe NZ best practices and our own Aquashield safety checklist on every job.
A safe site means clean work, focused installers, and zero risk to your property.

5️⃣ Roof Removal & Inspection

We carefully remove the old roofing iron or tiles, checking as we go for:

• Damaged or soft timber

If anything needs repair to meet code, we fix it then and there — no delays, no compromises.

💡 We don’t reuse underlay or flashings — every layer is replaced new for a full system upgrade.

6️⃣ Underlay &

Next, we install breathable underlay, fastened and overlapped to manufacturer standards.
This is what keeps moisture out and helps your roof breathe.

7️⃣ Laying the New Iron

Once the prep is complete, it’s time for the main event — installing your new roof.
Sheets are laid in sequence for correct water run-off and fixed with roofing-grade fasteners using torque-limited drivers for perfect seal compression.

Every sheet is straight, tight, and aligned — no rushed, uneven lines.
This stage is where skill and experience truly show.

📸 We photograph progress as we go — a full record of your roof build for your peace of mind.

8️⃣ Flashing Installation

we custom-fit new flashings — valleys, ridges, barge, apron — all fabricated to size for your specific roof.

Precision here means zero leaks later.

9️⃣Clean-Up & Final Inspection

When the last screw’s in, we’re not done yet.
We:

• Remove all waste, offcuts, and nails from site
• Sweep gutters and check downpipes
• Wash down the new iron if needed
• Inspect every detail against our quality checklist

Only once we’re 100% satisfied does the job move to sign-off.

and lastly Warranty & Aftercare

Every Aquashield re-roof includes:

• Manufacturer warranty (typically 15–18 years depending on coating)
• Workmanship guarantee on all installation
• Maintenance and cleaning guidance

And because we’re local, we’re here if you ever need us again — whether it’s a quick check or advice years down the track.

💬 Our roofs are built to last — and so are our relationships with clients.
