From new home builds and granny flats to extensions and second-storey additions, Palmers Roofing delivers expert new roof installations across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and all Illawarra suburbs. Licensed, insured, and backed by manufacturer warranties.
New roof installation costs in the Illawarra vary depending on material, roof complexity, and size. As a guide, Colorbond metal roofing ranges from $80 to $120 per square metre installed, while concrete tile roofing costs between $100 and $150 per square metre. A standard 200m² residential roof typically costs between $16,000 and $30,000 fully installed including framing, sarking, insulation, roofing material, flashings, and guttering. We provide detailed, itemised quotes specific to your project after an on-site assessment.
An average residential new roof installation in the Illawarra takes between 3 and 7 working days, depending on the roof size, material type, and complexity of the design. Simple Colorbond installations on straightforward gable roofs can be completed in 3–4 days, while larger homes with hip and valley configurations, tile roofing, or custom architectural features may take 5–7 days. Weather delays are factored into our project scheduling, and we keep you informed of progress throughout the build.
For the Illawarra's coastal climate, Colorbond steel is the most popular and practical choice for new home roofing due to its resistance to salt corrosion, lightweight design reducing structural load, and excellent wind rating performance. Concrete tiles are ideal for homeowners seeking superior thermal mass and sound insulation. Terracotta tiles offer a premium aesthetic with exceptional longevity. We assess your site conditions, budget, design preferences, and energy efficiency goals to recommend the optimal material for your specific project.
Yes. All new roof installations by Palmers Roofing comply with the National Construction Code (NCC), relevant Australian Standards including AS 1562 (metal roofing) and AS 2050 (tile roofing), and local council development requirements for the Wollongong, Shellharbour, and Kiama local government areas. We coordinate with your builder and certifier to ensure all inspections are passed, and we provide manufacturer warranty documentation and compliance certificates upon completion.
Absolutely. Matching new roofing to an existing home is one of our specialities. For Colorbond roofs, we match the exact profile and colour from the BlueScope range. For tile roofs, we source matching profiles from Monier, Boral, and CSR, or source reclaimed tiles when the original profile has been discontinued. The transition flashings between old and new sections are custom fabricated to ensure a completely weatherproof and visually seamless result.
New roof installations from Palmers Roofing include multiple warranty layers. BlueScope provides up to 36 years warranty on Colorbond steel, Monier and Boral offer up to 50 years on concrete and terracotta tiles, and we provide our own workmanship warranty covering installation quality. All warranty documentation is registered in your name and provided at project completion. Our workmanship warranty covers the structural integrity of the installation including framing connections, sarking, flashings, and fastener performance.
