Hunterline Roofing

A roof is more than meets the eye

Of course, when we think ‘roofs, we think of the giant construction that sits on top of our homes, however our roofs are so much more. There are many things that a roof offer us that we tend not to appreciate, so we thought it would be good to cover a few of those.

Residential Roofers in the Hunter Region.

We all know how nice a new roof looks, however have you ever considered how much of an investment a new roof could be, relative to the value of your property?

If you think about it, the roof is the first thing you’ll see on a home when you arrive at a property. Sure, we don’t always consciously appreciate a nice looking roof, however if you have two properties next to each other, one with a nice new roof and the other with an old rusty roof, you’ll be amazed at the difference.

Roofs in Newcastle and the Hunter region are subjected to some pretty serious elements. Wind, salt, sun and rain to name a few. These elements WILL take a toll on any roof, so like it or not, your roof has a life span.

Putting a new roof on your property WILL INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME IN ALMOST EVERY SCENARIO. Have a look at the images of the before and after below.

Commercial Roofs in Newcastle and the Hunter Region

Commercial roofs aren’t always as easy to see from the street, often due to the profile, however it’s an easy argument to make that a new roof on a commercial property in the Hunter Region is likely one of the better investments that you could make. ESPECIALLY if the old roof is lacking integrity.

Typically, commercial and corporate properties contain a lot of valuable and expensive equipment and stock, so a roof that’s not doing its job correctly could compromise anything that’s supposed to be protecting. 

We’ve seen offices flooded and equipment in factories completely trashed by water getting in through rusted roofs, inadequate guttering and poor flashings. Insurance will cover a lot of your loss, but almost in every instance, there is a significant financial burden placed on the owner to get the premises back to operating capacity. Not to mention the loss of production due to downtime. 

A commercial roof upgrade is a very good investment and one of the first things an investor will look at.
