Why homeowners choose LifeProof
Find why it failed. Then replace it properly.

“Ryan and the team from LifeProof excellently replaced our old existing 1970s flat tin roof that hadn’t been touched for some time since we purchased the property late last year. From the moment I met Ryan, he was engaging and lovely to deal with from initial quotation, through to execution with the team when the job was completed. We had other quotes and other roofing professionals attend our home, but the main driving point for my family and I to choose life proof was the Customer Service element and detail that Ryan and his team provided. I would not hesitate to recommend Ryan and the boys from life proof to complete any of your plumbing or roofing needs as they come with my full recommendation. Thankyou Ryan and the team for an amazing experience! Simon /Mount Waverley, Vic.”

Very high quality roof plumbers. Ryan was very professional and quick to respond with an itemised description of the work to be done on my leaking garage roof. Everyone on the team including Jarrad and Spencer were a pleasure to deal with. They did an exceptional job over few days to expand the internal gutters, seal up the roof and replace parts of the roof & down pipe. Was not an easy job. Thanks for the high quality job guys
Huge thank you to Ryan for coming out so quickly and helping us get our roof sorted. He explained everything clearly, communicated well, and made the whole process stress-free. He identified the cause of the leak, and provided a clear and practical solution for the roof repair. We truly appreciate the great service and would definitely recommend him to others!
I recently had some urgent roofing repairs on my 110 year old home. The work was complex and nuanced but the team of Simon and George were absolutely incredible in identifying issues and fixing them. We could not be more grateful and thrilled with the work these boys did and the craftsmanship exhibited! These guys went above and beyond for us and they will always be our first port of call in future

Prompt attendance and honest assessment of a potential roof leak. It was actually nails lifting from ceiling- no cost. Just before Christmas, very reassuring. Thanks guys!
Ben who came to do the work was meticulous and analysed and completed the job. He left the place clean and tidy. Thank you to LifeProof for coming out and making our house safe in the first visit as well.
We contacted LifeProof recently to fix my mother's leaking roof. Ryan came out and was able to find the cause and the team fixed it a couple of days later before the heavy rain set it. We had a very positive experience with Ryan, Georgia and the team and we're very happy that the issue has been fixed. I'll be using and recommending LifeProof in the future without hesitation. Thank you again!

FAQ
Roof replacement questions
Straight answers from the LifeProof team. Something else? Call 0485 016 819.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Melbourne?
It depends on the size of the roof, pitch, access, materials and the preparatory work required. As a general guide, most roof replacements fall between $15,000 and $45,000 including GST, and smaller, simpler roofs come in under that. Our full re-roofs averaged $24,817 ex GST, about $27,300 including GST. Every roof replacement starts with a video roof inspection and a fixed upfront price.
How do I know if my roof needs replacing?
Common signs are recurring roof leaks, extensive rust, cracked or deteriorated roofing materials, structural movement, widespread repairs, failed roof restorations, or a roof that has reached the end of its service life. The video roof inspection shows you the condition of your roof so you can decide whether you need a roof replacement.
Can I repair my roof instead of replacing it?
In many cases, yes. If the roof is structurally sound and the issues are isolated, targeted roof repairs may be the cost-effective answer. When a roof has widespread deterioration, recurring leaks, significant rust or multiple previous repairs, a roof replacement usually offers better long-term value. We'll tell you honestly which one your roof needs.
Can I replace a tile roof with Colorbond (tile to tin)?
Yes. Many Melbourne homeowners replace ageing tile roofs with COLORBOND for its durability, lighter weight and modern look. It's called a tile to Colorbond conversion or tile to tin roof replacement. We assess roof design, drainage capacity, flashings and compliance before we install your new Colorbond roof.
Do I need council approval for a roof replacement?
Most like-for-like roof replacements that don't change the building footprint or roof structure don't need council approval. Some projects, including tile to Colorbond conversions or structural changes, may need permits. We tell you about any permit or compliance requirements when we quote your roof replacement.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements take several days to two weeks, depending on the size of the roof, the weather, the roofing materials and how complex the job is. You get an estimated timeline with your roof replacement quote.
Do you offer a warranty on roof replacements and Colorbond roofs?
Yes. Eligible roof replacements carry our 10-Year Workmanship Warranty, and manufacturer warranties may also apply to the materials. COLORBOND steel is backed by BlueScope warranties, with periods depending on the product and installation environment.
