How long does a commercial reroof typically take?

Most commercial reroofs take 2-3 weeks depending on size and complexity. A 1,000m² warehouse typically takes 10-14 days. We provide detailed timelines during the quote process and can work extended hours to meet tight deadlines.
Can we stage the project to avoid disrupting operations?

Yes! This is our specialty. We can work in phases, complete sections at a time, or work during your off-peak hours (nights/weekends). Many clients opt for staged installations to maintain normal business operations.
Do you provide temporary weatherproofing during installation?

Yes, absolutely. We install temporary weather protection (tarps, sealing) at the end of each work day to ensure your property stays dry. We also monitor weather forecasts and pause work during heavy rain to prevent water damage.
Do you handle council approvals and permits?

Yes, we manage all required permits and council approvals as part of our service. This includes building permits, engineering certifications, and compliance documentation. All included in our quote—no extra fees.
What's your payment structure?

Standard payment terms: 30% deposit to secure materials and schedule, 40% at project midpoint, 30% upon completion and final inspection. For projects over $50k, we offer flexible payment plans. All pricing is fixed—no surprise costs.
What areas do you service?

We service Cairns and the wider Far North Queensland region, including Portsmith, Edmonton, Gordonvale, Smithfield, Palm Cove, and surrounding suburbs.
