What to Expect During a Re-Roofing Job
🏠 What to Expect During a Re-Roofing Job
A re-roof is one of the best investments you can make in your home — but most homeowners don’t know what actually happens when the job starts. At Aquashield Roofing, we make the process clean, clear, and systemised from start to finish.
Here’s what to expect when we re-roof your home across Levin, Foxton, Shannon, and the wider Horowhenua region.
1. 🔍 Roof Inspection & Site Visit
It all starts with an on-site inspection. We:
Measure the roof accurately
Check framing, fixings, flashings, and overall condition
Identify rust, leaks, pitch issues, or internal gutter risks
Take detailed notes and photos
Listen to your concerns — leaks, noise, insulation, etc.
2. 🧾 Quote & Re-Roofing Proposal
Next, you’ll receive a clear written quote outlining:
What’s included (new iron, underlay, flashings, fixings, etc.)
Any recommended timber or framing repairs
Site access, scaffold, rubbish removal
Total price + payment terms
Estimated timeline
Warranties on both materials and workmanship
You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for — no hidden extras.
No guesswork. No “she’ll be right.” We build the right plan for your roof from day one.
3. 📦 Preparation & Booking
Once the quote is approved, we:
Schedule the job and confirm weather window
Book scaffold or edge protection
Order materials (Colorcote/Colorsteel, underlay, flashings, fixings)
Coordinate delivery to site
Notify neighbours if needed
We handle all logistics so you don’t have to.
4. 🔨 Roof Removal & Framing Check
When we start on site, the crew will:
Strip and safely remove your old roof in manageable sections
Inspect timber battens, purlins, barge boards
Replace any rotten or damaged timber as needed
Ensure the structure is sound and compliant before new iron goes on
5. 🛠️ New Roof Installation
Here’s where the transformation happens:
We install new underlay, flashings, and Colorcote/Colorsteel roofing
All fixings installed to manufacturer spec (no shortcuts)
We seal penetrations properly and follow correct pitch
Valleys, ridges, barge flashings and apron details are fully replaced
Ventilation options or upgrades included if needed
Your roof gets rebuilt the right way — not just covered over.
6. 🧼 Clean-Up & Job Sign-Off
Once the roof is complete, we:
Clean up every nail, offcut, and scaffold/Edge protection comes down
Remove all waste and rubbish
Do a full quality control check
Your Property it left clean and tidy
Provide warranty info and peace of mind
7. 📜 Warranties & Aftercare
Every re-roof comes with:
Material warranty — typically 15–18 years (depending on Colorsteel type and location)
Workmanship warranty — 5–10 years from Aquashield Roofing
A signed job completion form confirming all work has been checked
If anything ever needs attention, we’re local and we stand behind our work.
👍 Final Word
Re-roofing doesn’t need to be stressful or messy. With the right crew, it’s a smooth process that adds serious value to your home — and keeps your family dry and protected for decades to come.
