Step 1: A Thorough On-Site Inspection That Eliminates Hidden Costs Before Work Begins

Every roof replacement begins with a physical on-site inspection of your residential, commercial, or industrial property. This inspection is essential to accurately assess the existing roof structure, materials, access, and potential risks. ICON Metal Roofing does not rely on aerial images alone because they cannot reveal underlying issues such as timber movement, corrosion beneath sheeting, or asbestos materials.

During the inspection, the roofer evaluates the condition of the old roof, whether it is metal, tile, or concrete tiles, along with roof guttering, downpipes, insulation, ventilation, skylights, patios, and any attached cladding. The inspection also considers roof pitch, height, surrounding buildings, and storm exposure common to Brisbane and the coast of Queensland.

This process allows our team at ICON Metal Roofing to identify problems early and determine whether repairs, a full replacement, or structural work is required before installation begins.

Step 2: Clear, Fixed Pricing and Choosing a Metal Roof Built for Brisbane Weather

Once the inspection is complete, our team at ICON Metal Roofing provides a detailed quote outlining the scope of work, materials, labour, and timeframe. This quote is free and no-obligation, allowing homeowners and business owners to review pricing before committing. Fixed pricing helps avoid unexpected costs later in the roofing project.

Property owners are guided through selecting the most suitable metal roofing product for their property, budget, and long-term needs. Options commonly include Colorbond steel, Zincalume, and corrugated or modern sheet profiles, all chosen for durability and performance in Brisbane's heat, storms, and humidity.

Key factors considered when selecting materials include roof insulation compatibility, ventilation requirements, colour choices, guttering upgrades, and warranty coverage.

For properties on the Brisbane coast, ICON Metal Roofing delivers residential and commercial metal roofing services built to last, using Colorbond roofing for durable roofs that handle harsh conditions. From tile to Colorbond upgrades to roofing repairs, ICON Metal Roofing helps customers get reliable roofing services, trusted repairs, and long-term protection for residential and commercial roofs along Brisbane and the surrounding coast.

Step 3: Council Approvals, Safety Planning and Compliance Managed for You

Roof replacement work for residential, commercial, and industrial properties in Brisbane must comply with Queensland regulations and local council requirements. ICON Metal Roofing manages this process on behalf of homeowners, including approvals required when changing roof materials, altering roof height, or removing old roofs containing asbestos.

Before work begins, a safety plan is prepared that addresses fall protection, material handling, site access, and weather considerations. All work is completed by licensed metal roofers using approved equipment and methods aligned with industry standards.

This planning phase ensures the project proceeds efficiently, safely, and without unnecessary delays.

Step 4: Safe, Fully Licensed Removal of Old Roofing Including Asbestos Where Required

Removing an old roof, whether tile, metal, concrete, or others, is one of the most critical stages of roof replacement services. ICON Metal Roofing uses controlled removal methods to protect the residential, commercial, or industrial property, occupants, and surrounding areas. If asbestos is present, removal is carried out in accordance with Queensland safety regulations by licensed professionals.

During removal, existing roof sheeting, tiles, insulation, and damaged guttering are carefully dismantled and removed from the site. Waste materials are disposed of at approved facilities to ensure environmental and regulatory compliance.

This stage prepares the structure for inspection and any necessary repairs before the new roof is installed.

Step 5: Identifying and Fixing Structural Issues Before Your New Roof Is Installed

Once the old roof is removed, the underlying structure is fully visible. This allows ICON Metal Roofing to inspect battens, rafters, and support elements for signs of damage, rot, or movement. Any required repairs or reinforcements are completed before new roofing materials are installed.

Addressing these issues at this stage prevents future problems and ensures the new roof performs as designed for many years. This step is essential for protecting the integrity of the roofing system and maintaining warranty coverage.

For homes and businesses in Brisbane and the surrounding coast, ICON Metal Roofing delivers trusted commercial and residential roofing services by identifying issues early and fixing them before new roofing is installed.

Whether upgrading from tile or preparing for long-term performance, customers get peace of mind knowing their roofing is handled by experts who provide reliable services, protect roofing systems, and get results that last across the coast for residential, commercial, and industrial projects and beyond.

Step 6: Precision Installation of Your New Colorbond Roof by Specialist Installers

With the structure prepared, installation of the new metal roof begins. ICON Metal Roofing installs metal sheeting, flashing, insulation, ventilation, guttering, and downpipes according to manufacturer specifications and Australian Standards.

The installation process follows a clear sequence to ensure alignment, water shedding, and secure fixing. Attention is given to roof penetrations, skylights, patios, and cladding interfaces to prevent leaks and thermal issues.

The goal is to deliver a durable, efficient roofing solution that enhances the property's appearance, value, and protection against storms.

Step 7: Final Quality Inspection, Complete Clean-Up and Peace of Mind Handover

After installation, a final inspection is conducted to confirm workmanship, compliance, and finish quality. The site is cleaned thoroughly, with all waste materials removed and surrounding areas left tidy.

Homeowners are provided with warranty information and maintenance guidance so they understand how to protect their investment long term. The project is only considered complete once all work meets ICON's quality standards.

Answers to the Most Common Questions Brisbane Homeowners Ask Before Replacing a Roof
