Tile to Colorbond Conversion Kerri & Paul (Facebook)











Several years ago, our family moved into our house in Berwick (which was four years old at the time). The whole time we had experienced issues with poor quality brittle tiles which constantly allowed water into the ceiling. Fast forward to a month ago and we decided enough is enough – the roof must go.

We have always wanted a Colorbond roof so we set about finding a company with a good reputation and proven experience in this field. My wife and I must have researched at least a dozen different companies on the Internet. In the end we chose Casey Roof Care as they have demonstrated experience in this conversion work, they are local to where we live. Being a small team we knew they would care and reputation would be important.

Adam provided a very reasonable quote to replace the roof, guttering and down pipes with Colorbond. Adam proved to be very knowledgable in providing advice and information on how the process worked. We knew we had found the man for the job.

The work took Adams team about 2.5 weeks to complete. The process was completely stress free from our point of view. The first step involves erecting scaffolding around the house and removing the existing gutters and down pipes (we decided to do this as the originals were too worn and would not match). Adams team then replace the roof in sections by removing tiles, install reinforcing metal batons (required for these conversions), insulation and finally the Colorbond roof. In the event any roof is exposed to the elements overnight, a tarpaulin is used to ensure no water gets in. As each bin is filled with the tiles they are removed from the site.

Under the Colorbond roofing, Adams team installed CSR 60mm Anticon insulation (including an outer foil layer to prevent condensation). The product does a great job at keeping the heat in (we noticed the difference immediately) but it also cuts down some of the outside noise.

The job obviously creates a mess around the property – that’s the nature of this type of work. I must say Adams team did a great job not only of completely cleaning up afterwards, they also run a metal detector over the lawn for extra piece of mind. We have never found even a single scenic of debris around the property.

At the end of the job it was clear how much pride Adam had in the work his team completed. What really strikes you about Adam is his honesty and genuine interest in putting his customers first. He always made himself available to answer questions during the quotation process and even visited the house multiple times to discuss the work in person. An added bonus was Adam advising us on unrelated issues including the insufficient ceiling insulation that was pre-existing in the roof.

Overall Casey Roof Care performed a very professional job at a competitive price using only quality products. We strongly recommend them as a trustworthy company to engage. This has been one of the best experiences we have had with any trades people and we get to reap the benefits for years to come. We love the work they have done – it looks great and we LOVE the sound the rain makes too :>).
