If you've been quoted a roof restoration in Adelaide and you're wondering if it's actually worth it - or whether you should just bite the bullet and replace the whole thing - you're asking the right question.
When restoration is the right answer
Restoration suits roofs that are still structurally sound. The tiles are intact, the structure is solid, and the issue is mostly cosmetic plus ridge cap and pointing failure. Most Adelaide tile roofs between 15 and 25 years old fit this profile.
When replacement is the honest answer
If your roof is over 30 years old, tiles are crumbling or spalling, the structure is sagging, or you have multiple leaks despite previous repairs, restoration is just a band-aid. The honest answer is full replacement.
How to tell the difference
Get an independent inspection from someone who isn't selling the restoration. A $300 written report from an inspector with no financial interest in the outcome gives you a neutral assessment to compare against any quotes you receive.
