You ever look at a roof and think, “Yep, she’s had a hard life”? That was exactly the vibe we got when we arrived on-site at one of the Sunshine Coast’s most well-worn commercial rooftops. Peeling flashings, rust patches trying to start a rebellion, and skylights that had seen better decades. This wasn’t just a patch job — this was a full-blown upgrade, Corporate Roofing style.
The Challenge:
The client was running a distribution warehouse smack-bang in the coastal belt. Between salt spray, summer scorchers, and the occasional airborne palm frond, the old roof was waving the white flag. Leaks were interrupting workflow, and energy costs were sky-high thanks to poor insulation.
And did we mention it was a 2,000m² roof? No pressure.
The Plan:
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Every roof tells a different story. This one was screaming, “Help me, I’m tired.”
Here’s what we rolled out:
-
Full roof inspection using drone tech (because climbing up and squinting isn’t always the safest option)
-
Removal of deteriorated sheeting and insulation
-
Installation of new Colorbond® Ultra steel (coastal weather ain’t no joke)
-
Integrated insulation system for energy efficiency
-
Custom box gutters and rainwater goods for improved drainage
The Process:
Three weeks. That’s how long it took from scaffolding to sign-off. Our team worked in sections so the warehouse could keep operating — no downtime for the client. Early starts, safe work protocols, and more coffee than we care to admit made it possible.
We also coordinated with solar installers for a post-roofing PV setup. If you’re re-roofing and not thinking solar, you’re playing yourself.
The Outcome:
-
Zero leaks (and we’ve had storms since)
-
25% drop in energy costs reported within the first quarter
-
Massive boost in property value
-
Plus, the roof just looks solid now. Clean lines, fresh materials, built to last.
