Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Wanted: Roofer tradesman - Bellbird Park (QLD) 3Apr 17, 2021 5:05 am Hi, we are building in Narangba and we have just had our roof go on at the start of this week. It was a 7 week wait for us. Our builder said there is a massive shortage of trades at the moment due to roof insurance jobs being taken over new builds. I've also been told that there has been an increase in roof prices due to the demand aswell. We are lucky because our builder has just had to put 60 day extensions on to their other builds due to timber shortage and roof labour hire. Goodluck I hope you are able to find someone! Re: Wanted: Roofer tradesman - Bellbird Park (QLD) 4Apr 23, 2021 11:22 am The builder is now offering us an another option. We could go with a Tile roof instead of the original colorbound we have signed for in the building contract. This will be only 3 weeks instead of 3 months waiting... The downside of it is that I am pretty sure colorbond is better resistant to hail and does not have to be maintain that often. I have seen nasty thing happening after a hailstorm around the Springfield area but who know's which one is better on your eyes? Let me know in the comments Re: Wanted: Roofer tradesman - Bellbird Park (QLD) 5Apr 24, 2021 7:50 am It’s a wait for a lot of things at the moment. Personally I’d be waiting the 3 months provided your able to and it doesn’t affect anything else. I think your research of the tiles has given you some good information. Ask yourself if your willing to compromise and if you go the tiles will you regret it? Lots to think about!

Thank you for the picture, the black roof does give a great appearance and more prestigious look to your house.
