Buying a Home with Roof Issues
July 21, 2025Are roofing estimates free? – Not always. Some roofing companies in Australia charge for estimates, especially during peak seasons. It depends on the business, the job type, and how busy they are.
A common question homeowners ask is whether roofing estimates are free. The truth? It depends. In Australia, some roofing companies offer free estimates — others charge a fee, especially during high-demand periods or for more complex assessments.
At Roof Repairs Perth WA, we believe your time (and ours) is valuable. That’s why we don’t offer cookie-cutter quotes over the phone. Instead, we send a professional to inspect your roof properly and give a tailored quote. There may be a small fee, depending on factors like location, urgency, and job complexity — but we’ll always let you know before anything goes ahead.
Why Some Roofers Charge for Estimates
- High demand (especially after storms or in peak seasons)
- Travel time for site visits
- Expertise required to diagnose issues correctly
- To weed out tyre-kickers and time-wasters
What You Get With a Paid Estimate
You’re not just paying for a number — you’re paying for real insight into your roof’s condition, expert advice, and a quote you can actually trust. No guesswork. No upsells. Just honest roofing.
