Roof Restoration Darra Services
Given the large percentage of older homes, repairs and roof restoration Darra area is in high demand. Most homeowners would know that your roof is the most valuable investment in your home. It’s your first line of defence in protecting your house from the harsh elements South East Queensland has to offer, like our increasingly destructive storm seasons.
A quality roof will protect the property for years to come, but a damaged roof will not only put you at risk, but it will also detract from the value and appearance of the property.
We specialise in all types of roof restorations, including the more difficult Heritage Listed buildings, homes with extremely steep roof pitches, and homes with unusual and rare roof types.
Roof Replacement
There are times when a restoration is not suitable for a roof, either because the damage is too extensive or the homeowner wants a complete overhaul of the roof’s appearance. In these cases, a full roof replacement is needed.
At Roo Roofing, we have extensive experience with all kinds of roof replacements, from metal roof replacement, tile roof replacement, asbestos roof replacement, and decramastic roof replacement.
We also provide up to a 10 years installation warranty and provide manufacturer warranties of up to 36 years for your peace of mind with all replacement works.

The Darra Housing Market
Houses in the area are mainly Queenslander style and built in the 1940s and 1950s. These homes date back to the population boom during that time, thanks to new local employment and low house and land prices. Now as the suburb expands, subdividing blocks is becoming popular and it is making way for more modern homes.

These prices are low compared to other Brisbane suburbs (particularly closer to the city centre) and this means that it’s easier for new homeowners to enter the housing market and things like renovations are more achievable.
