Benefits of Colorbond® Roof Replacement
Choosing a Colorbond® roof replacement offers clear and practical advantages for Brisbane homeowners. Our team at Five Star Roofing has seen firsthand how this material meets local needs. Here’s why making the switch is worth considering.
Enhanced Durability Against Local Weather
Colorbond® roofing is engineered to withstand heavy rain and hot summers. Corrosion-resistant layers protect the steel base so it won’t rust or fade as quickly as older roof types.
This makes it reliable for decades, even in unpredictable conditions. We replace roofs with materials known to last without constant repair.
Long-Term Savings on Maintenance
A key benefit of Colorbond® roof replacement is how little upkeep it needs. The colour is bonded to the metal itself, which means no peeling or chipping and far less painting over time.
Unlike traditional tiles, it also won’t support moss or water absorption. This means reduced maintenance bills for years ahead, a relief for many homeowners we work with.
Superior Leak and Water Protection
With a smooth surface and non-porous design, Colorbond® helps rainwater drain fast. During severe downpours, the risk of pooling or leaks drops significantly.
Unlike tiles that might shift and crack, a Colorbond® roof offers consistent protection year-round. When we fit your new roof, we focus on exact installation for maximum performance.
Lightweight Solution for Structural Integrity
Colorbond® roofs weigh much less than concrete tiles. This means there’s less weight on your home’s framework, which is especially important for older properties or those needing structural upgrades.
Our installation team handles every step, ensuring your roof aligns with current building standards and delivers long-term peace of mind.

Colorbond® Roof Replacement Timelines
When done by an experienced team, replacing a Colorbond® roof is a clear process. For most homes in Brisbane, the duration is usually between one and three days, from start to finish.
Typical Timeframes
Most residential Colorbond® roof replacements take 1 to 3 days to complete. However, if everything goes as planned, smaller or less complex homes can sometimes be finished in a single day.
Larger roofs or sites with difficult access may extend the replacement to three days or longer if extra care is needed.
Our crew always aims to move efficiently, but we don’t cut corners that could affect your final result.
Factors Affecting Duration
Several details can alter how long your Colorbond® roof replacement will take. The overall roof size and design play a big part; complex shapes and multi-storey properties often require more careful work.
Removing old roof materials, especially tiles or asbestos, adds time because of extra safety steps.
We also factor in weather, access around your property, and whether the underlying timber needs fixing once the old roof is off.
Our team at Five Star Roofing manages these variables closely to keep your project on track.
Process and What to Expect
Day one typically covers safety setup and removing the old roof sheeting or tiles. If there’s anything unexpected underneath, such as damaged battens, we’ll repair these before moving ahead.
By day two, the new Colorbond® sheets will be down, and all sarking or underlay will be sorted. We finish with flashings, gutters, and a full inspection, followed by a thorough clean-up.
Any extra features, like skylights or dealing with asbestos, can add a bit more time, but we always keep you in the loop.
Ensuring Quality and Minimising Disruption
Our installers are licensed and trained to local standards. We communicate openly if rain or wind slows progress or if extra repairs are needed.
We handle permits, safety rails, and site logistics so there’s minimal disruption to you.
Ultimately, every job gets a detailed inspection and warranty coverage, so you know your new Colorbond® roof is set to last.

How Much Does Colorbond® Roof Replacement Cost in Sydney
Our team at Five Star Roofing works with hundreds of homeowners each year, so we’ve gained firsthand insights into current costs and their drivers.
Price Range for Colorbond® Roof Replacement
The typical budget for Colorbond® roof replacement in Brisbane falls between $13,000 and $35,000. This is for a standard home, including removing your old roof and installing new Colorbond® sheets.
The price can increase if your home has a complex multi-storey roofline or needs significant remedial work. Smaller or simpler jobs may come below average, while larger properties often exceed them.
Square Metre Rates and What’s Included
Our fully installed rates usually sit between $53 and $97 per m². Basic Colorbond® and straightforward installations are at the lower end.
Premium products like Colorbond® Ultra, custom colours, and intricate roof shapes push the rate up. These figures cover supply and install, but features like sarking or insulation, new gutters, or major timber repairs are billed separately after inspection.
Extra Costs To Be Aware Of
Many quotes won’t include site-specific charges upfront. For example, tile-to-metal roof conversion adds $2,000–$6,000 for removal and disposal.
Asbestos roofs cost more to remove, from $3,000 to $8,000, depending on size. Insulation upgrades, new gutters, and council documentation will also be itemised. We’re transparent about all extras and aim to keep surprises to a minimum.
Factors That Change Your Quote
No two roofs are identical. In addition to roof size and shape, costs are influenced by access, roof height, and market prices for Colorbond® and labour.
Seasonality matters too. Higher demand in storm season can affect both timeline and availability. We work proactively to lock in fair prices and provide clear, itemised quotes.
