What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Canberra, Lookup Roof has built a reputation through roof restoration work that customers writing about their orders describe as thorough and well organised. Reviews regularly refer to repointing, ridge capping, tile replacement, gutter and downpipe installation, fascia work and full roof painting, with colour-bond barge capping also cited. Kevin is named often for his prompt, friendly manner and clear communication from the first enquiry through to the final clean-up, and Daniel and Nathan are singled out for the standard of their trade work and their tidy approach at each stage.

One thing mentioned again and again is fair, accurate quoting, with customers noting that the price held to the scope actually needed and that the crew worked efficiently across multi-day projects. Problems were handled without fuss, including one leak after heavy rain that was attended to at no charge. The company is also described as honest and straightforward to deal with, keeping clients informed when weather disrupted scheduling. Several reviewers highlight the visible result of the restoration and the careful clean-up after each stage of the work.

I can say Look Up Roof Restoration is an honest family roofing business. They did quality work restoring the roof more than a year ago. Then we had a period of heavy rain this year and there was a leak. They came and fixed that and I was willing to pay for the repairs but they didn't charge for it.

Recommended! A good quality family business. Next: - the detail, if you want it: 1st – the saga. When our house was half-built in 1986, the builder went bust, and to complete the house the Insolvency Accountant brought in cheapo tradies, who did poor workmanship on the gutters and downpipes. 2nd, when the house was about 20 years old, and the concrete tiles had begun to grow artistic lichens (which would have made them porous, eventually) a company came around offering re-sealing and a ‘Lifetime guarantee’. “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” The Lifetime guarantee turned into ‘firm gone bust’ a few years later, just as the shortcomings of that resealing job became evident. Our current job: reseal roof, replace fascia boards and guttering, and down-pipes, eliminating the blockage points (45 degree angles only). I got several quotes, some of which were exorbitant, and avoiding quotes from the inheritors of the fly-by-night roof-resealers now doing the rounds. I got a good vibe from this family business, Kevin-the-dad, when he did the quote. And then? we had a series of medical and other emergencies over several months. Detailed points positive follow: Kevin renewed the quote at same price. When his sons showed up to strip the roof, it was worse than they’d realised: “The last lot didn’t put primer down, we’ll have to peel all their paint off”. They cleaned it off anyway, a quarter-day job taking a full day. The solution (clever, cheaper) of covering the existing fascia boards with Colourbond, they added to with a once-only opportunity to add termite powder. (We found the very beginnings of an apparent termite infestation the week they were due to start; then – professionalism and curiosity – later, Daniel ID’d that the infestation was only a carpenter ants’ nest – undesirable but not catastrophic.) The gutters, installed, are straight, and have that tiny 1% slope towards the rainwater tank. We won’t see gutters overflow at every cloudburst. The downpipes are set up with 45 degree bends, enabling cleaning of leaf-litter. (A neighbour also has large trees.) The resealing is ‘the real deal’ with the primer coat followed by a second detailing, prior to final coat. The new gutters are ‘bottom supported’, a clean run for both water and cleaning leaf-litter; theoretically easy-cleanable by a leaf-blower and attachment from the ground. Between price, attention to detail, and quality of work, we couldn’t be happier.

Look Up Roof Restoration did an excellent job at our house. From the initial contact with Kevin to organize things, everything went smoothly. Daniel and his team who did the work were brilliant. The service exceeded our expectations. We can highly recommend Look Up Roof for the quality of service.

Great to deal with, honest, straightforward and delivered quality work. Kevin and his fellas replaced the guttering and downpipes around a month ago. It's made a huge difference and we no longer worry when it begins to rain. I'd gladly deal with Kevin and the team at Lookup Roof Restoration again.

The crew have been amazing at each point of works., very pleased with the professionalism, reliability and clean-up process at the end of each piece of work! Can highly recommend them to look after all the aspects of your roof / guttering restoration - amazing to deal with every step of the way!
