Colorbond Roofing For Your Property

Lightweight, durable and versatile, Colorbond roofing is an optimal choice for roofing on both residential and commercial properties. It’s a sturdy, solid-coated steel roofing material that provides enhanced shelter and protection from the wild Melbourne weather.

Available in a range of colours so that you can complement your Colorbond roofing with your home or commercial building, Colorbond is a popular choice for many Australian homes, and Harley & Sons Roofing installs this every day in Melbourne. To complement the Colorbond roofing, a variety of colours of Colorbond guttering are available with gutters, downpipes and fascia, adding aesthetic appeal to match the roof.

When you have guttering that is made from Colorbond steel, you can be confident in the rainwater collection, and these have been tested to withstand the various weather conditions within Australia, from extreme downpours of rain to scorching sun. For over forty-five years, Colorbond has been tried and tested in Australian weather elements and has come out as a clear winning choice for Colorbond roofing, gutters and fascia.

Harley & Sons can provide a choice of colours to suit your requirements and taste, work with you to your specifications, actively listen and engage with you and deliver premium-quality workmanship coupled with exceptional customer service. We believe in Colorbond Roofing as a smart choice and can professionally assist you with all your queries regarding the decision.

The Benefits Of Colorbond Roofing

What are the benefits of Colorbond roofing for your residential or commercial property? There is a myriad of advantages that make Colorbond steel a premium choice for roofing, guttering and fascia. Although it is lightweight, Colorbond roofing is a highly strong material that can endure the Australian weather elements such as fierce storms, strong winds and intense sun.

When you choose Colorbond roofing in Melbourne, and given that our state is known for four seasons in one day, you can be confident that your Colorbond roofing will withstand most of what nature throws at it. Resistant to corrosion, peeling, cracking and chipping, unlike tiles, Colorbond roofing is not easily subject to corrosion. Being lightweight means that Colorbond steel does not place such weight strain on the building frame as tiles do.

Another benefit to Colorbond roofing is that it is durable and sturdy with the colour bonded to the steel, so no painting is required. As it is baked, it is tough and reliable and with little maintenance required. Colorbond roofing is waterproof as a truly effective shelter, and as opposed to tiling, water does not pool up in areas on the roof; the ridges of the roof allow water to dispel easily, which reduces the probability of leaks.

Suppose you think about insulating your property so it’s cooler in these summer months and warmer when the cooler months come along. In that case, Colorbond roofing is a thermally efficient material that reflects a lot of the sun and cools down quicker than tiles. Lighter colours make it even better for reflecting the UV rays and keeping your home or commercial building at a better temperature. Easier and more efficient to install than tiling, Harley & Sons Roofing can achieve superior-quality installation of Colorbond roofing that is cost-effective and makes it a worthwhile investment for the long term.

Furthermore, Colorbond roofing is aesthetically appealing, especially in the variety of colours that you can select from and matching guttering and fascias means you can truly complement your roofing design.

Maintaining Your Colorbond Roof

With all the benefits of Colorbond roofing and its low maintenance requirement, maintaining your Colorbond is an important aspect of having Colorbond roofing on your property. Regularly washing your roof with water will increase its lifespan and durability as well as maintain its aesthetic appeal.

Roofing is a valuable investment into your home or commercial property as it not only provides shelter but also is clearly a visible attribute from the street and maintaining its aesthetics is important. It is also good for the value of the property as Colorbond roofing is a choice investment into effective and beautiful roofing. If you live beside the coast with saltwater spray or industrial effluence, it is wise to hose down your Colorbond roof more frequently even if rainwater does wash your roof to some degree.

If dirt or debris has attached itself to your roof and rainwater or hosing down has not removed this then it is optimum to wash down the surface with a mild solution of non-abrasive detergent and use a sponge or soft cloth. It might sound like a heavy-duty, tiresome task but it is well worth your time and effort into maintaining your Colorbond roofing. For advice or to peruse our range of Colorbond options, Harley & Sons Roofing is the choice Melbourne company to contact.

Our Gutter cleaning guy told us we had many broken tiles & the best people to call to replace & restore our roof was Harley & Sons. I gave them a call, got a free quote & saw pics of the many cracked & broken tiles. They sent a scaffolding team to set up, Sean & Wayne followed & they went to work & did a great job, all new tiles, re-beding & painted our roof a beautiful colour to match the accents in our brick. The Boy's were very professional, answered all our questions & worked long hours, l recommend Harley & Sons for all your roofing needs & ask for Sean & Wayne they are the best 😀

After having some leaks inside our home I contacted Harley and Sons Roofing to give me an assessment on the state of the roof. They turned up punctually at the organised time and advised us that the roof was not able to be salvaged, as we imagined. We decided we wanted to go with terracotta tiles, after being given the option of Colourbond or tiles, as they suited the era of the house. Everything was made very easy and our time was booked in for the replacement of our roof. Every person along the process chain was amazing to deal with. We are absolutely delighted with the job that was done. With one ask they replaced the existing skylights. I could not recommend Harley and Sons Roofing highly enough. Having a new roof has given the house an amazing lift. Thank you so much everyone for making this such an enjoyable experience. The workers didn’t even mind me taking lots of photos for the memory book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend 😊

Our overall experience with all Harley and Sons staff ranging from the initial on-site inspection, the processes of obtaining quotes included their suggestions for the complete roof renewal greatly improved the overall result can only best be described as “exceptional customer service”.A special mention must also be made with all the Office staff who promptly dealt with any queries that we had in a most efficient manner.All Harley staff that we dealt with were most courteous in their dealings and more importantly we felt that we were included in all aspects of the number of issues involved. We felt that they went the extra yard to ensure that their proposed work plans did suit us and did not interfere with our normal day to day personal requirements.We can only imagine that the logistics involved ranging from delivery of materials, erection of safety equipment, staff to undertake the various work tasks on nominated days would be a challenge, but to the Harley staff involved all aspects worked like clockwork.The onsite staff who undertook the physical work can also best be described as most courteous paying particular attention to keeping the site clean as far as practicable also ensuring that they kept us involved in their work plans for the day.Finally, we would have no hesitation in recommending Harley and SonsMonica & Hughie Gaynor

My experience with Harley and sons was very positive. From the outset, Peter who came out to quote for my new gutters and fascia’s was very informative, friendly and professional leaving me with a comprehensive folder regarding company background, products and colours on offer. Jordy and Callum that came out to do the job were also friendly, on time and worked hard. They left the site as clean as before they were there, they also did a job for me seperate to what they came for and did not charge me. Last but not least, Elli my job coordinator kept me in the loop from start to finish, friendly, helpful and also professional. I am more than happy with the company and the job done. I would highly recommend Harley and sons as very professional outfit, best customer service I’ve received in a very long time and pricing was definitely competitive. Thank you to the whole team, I’m very impressed.

Harley & Sons did our gutter replacement which also involved relocating one downpipe for current compliance and better water flow, and a tricky part where about 8 or 9 meters of gutter is shared between the house and carport/pergola.The quoting was done by Jono, who explained what was needed in detail, worked out a couple of our particular needs and then provided a fully detailed quote that listed everything we had discussed and agreed on.Elli project managed our job and communication was outstanding in keeping us posted with scheduling changes due to weather and other variables including me needing a couple of days after the old gutters came off to paint fascia boards and have one replaced due to rot that had been hidden by the old gutter. The cooperation this required was very well handled and Elli was accommodating, flexible and cheerful throughout.Scott who did the pre-job measure and the actual gutter replacement delivered better than promised and did the neatest job I have ever seen, including overcoming some unexpected problems on our carport gutter and flashing, worked very efficiently and quietly, and did proper site cleanup at the end. Outstanding.Everything about this job was excellent and I unhesitatingly recommend Harley & Sons for gutter replacement. On price, they were between a lesser and a higher quotes that we got. But their written quote was far more detailed than the others and we are delighted that we went with them. Gold star, definitely.

Approx 2 yrs ago the team replaced all our gutters & cleaned/glazed our terracotta roof as well as some specialty box gutters etc. Hands down they are the most professional, reliable tradesman I have ever come across. They made every effort to ensure we were happy with the final product and even did some small complementary work which needed fixing. The most impressive part of their service is their after care. We unfortunately had a small leak from a heavy down pour & despite being 2 yrs since installation were out here immediately to fix it. Well worth spending the money to go with this company. Well done to the team.

I was recommended Harley & Sons by someone who was very happy with their multiple-level full roof replacement. I had been looking for a roofing contractor that could restore tiles and/or install steel roofs on a double-story house. Previously the lower roof had leaked. After countless roof plumbers, 18 years later, it continued to leak causing electric shortages. I was done with the tiles on the lower leaking roof and was of the view to change the whole house to Colorbond. We ended up restoring the concrete tiles of the upper roof and replaced the lower roof tiles with Colorbond steel. The two roof textures look fantastic together. From the initial inquiry right through to the job sign-off the H&S team and contractors were professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with. I was impressed by the honest assessment from H&S in that our upper roof-level tiles were in too good a condition to replace and to save my money. I was impressed by the overseeing of their trusted contractors of the project, all of whom were very nice to deal with and also did a terrific job. I recommended Harley & Sons. They have a family feel without lacking any professionalism. Thank you H & S. Our house was looking sad and neglected but looks amazing now.

I contacted [Harley & Son Roofing] for quotation (based on the high online rating from other customers), different from other roofing companies (that dont reply online enquiries), this company is prompt on replying online enquiries. Shane came to my place on time for roof inspection and had discussed the maintenance options for my property with very reasonable quotation. I am now arranging budget for the roof maintenance work. If you are looking for companies for roof maintenance work, can contact this company for quotation.

No disappointments, no disputes.They were friendly, professional, considerate and efficient, and their work was absolutely excellent. They even left the site swept and clean. No hesitation in recommending them.
