The challenge with roof replacement in Hobart-It’s one of the largest investments you’ll make in your property, with costs depending on size, materials, and complexity. Making informed decisions requires understanding processes, costs, materials, contractors, and potential pitfalls.
After twenty years managing roof replacement projects across Greater Hobart and Southern Tasmania, I’ve guided hundreds of homeowners through this process. This comprehensive guide shares everything you need to know to plan, budget for, and successfully complete your roof replacement project.
When Roof Replacement Makes Sense
Before diving into the “how,” let’s confirm the “when.” Not every aging roof needs replacement—but some genuinely do.
Clear Indicators Replacement Is Your Best Option
Your roof likely needs replacement if:
Age at end-of-life:
Tile roofs 60+ years, metal roofs 35-40+ years
Widespread material failure:
Many tiles cracked/broken or extensive metal corrosion across 50%+ of surface
Structural problems:
Sagging roof lines, rotted framing, inadequate support
Repair costs approaching replacement:
Comprehensive repairs would cost 50%+ of replacement
Multiple previous repair attempts:
Pattern of recurring problems indicating systemic failure
Wrong materials for location:
Standard products failing in harsh coastal environment
Long-term residence plans:
You intend to stay 15+ years and want certainty
For detailed guidance on determining whether your roof needs repairs or replacement, see our comprehensive article: How to Tell if Your Roof Needs Repairs or a Full Replacement.
When to Consider Waiting
Replacement might not be urgent if:
- Roof functions reliably with only minor issues
- Recent targeted repairs have addressed specific problems successfully
- Comprehensive restoration could add 10-15 years at fraction of replacement cost
- You’re planning to sell within 2-3 years (repairs might be more economical)
- Budget constraints require phasing work over time
Professional assessment helps clarify whether your situation requires replacement or whether alternatives make sense. Regular roof inspections identify problems early—see Why Regular Roof Inspections Are Essential for Tasmanian Homes for comprehensive guidance.
Cost Factors Specific to Hobart Locations

- Require coastal-rated materials (+10-15% cost)
- More stringent installation specifications
- Enhanced corrosion protection essential
Heritage areas (Battery Point, North Hobart):
- May require specific tile types or matching
- Council approval processes
- Sometimes limited contractor selection
- Material sourcing can be challenging (+15-25% cost)
Difficult access properties:
- Steep blocks requiring extensive scaffolding
- Limited street access for material delivery
- Narrow lanes preventing equipment access
- Additional labor and equipment costs (+10-30%)
Bushfire-prone areas (Mount Nelson, Fern Tree):
- Must meet BAL ratings
- May require ember guards and specific materials

Choosing Roofing Materials for Hobart Climate
Material selection significantly impacts performance, longevity, and costs.
Colorbond and Metal Roofing
Best for:
◉ Coastal properties (with proper coastal rating)
◉ Modern architectural styles
◉ Homes requiring lightweight roofing
◉ Owners wanting low maintenance
◉ Properties with challenging access (lighter materials easier to handle)
Advantages in Hobart:
◉ Excellent wind resistance
◉ Superior performance in salt air (if coastal-rated)
◉ Low maintenance requirements
◉ Energy efficient with Thermatech® technology
◉ Quick installation (1-2 weeks typically)
◉ Wide color range
Considerations:
◉ More noise during rain (insulation addresses this)
◉ Can dent from hail or falling branches
◉ Paint may fade over decades (within warranty limits)
◉ Requires coastal-grade in appropriate locations
Concrete Tile Roofing
Best for:
◉ Traditional home styles
◉ Budget-conscious projects
◉ Homes with adequate structural capacity
◉ Owners wanting good longevity
◉ Areas without extreme coastal exposure
Advantages in Hobart:
◉ Excellent value for longevity
◉ Natural thermal mass (energy efficiency)
◉ Quiet during storms
◉ Wide range of profiles and colors
◉ Fire resistant
Considerations:
◉ Heavy (requires adequate structure)
◉ Requires more maintenance than metal
◉ Moss growth in sheltered areas
◉ Supporting components (valleys, ridges) need attention every 15-25 years
Expected lifespan: 50-60 years with proper maintenance
Terracotta Tile Roofing
Best for:
◉ Heritage properties
◉ Premium homes
◉ Traditional architectural styles
◉ Long-term family homes
◉ Areas with heritage requirements
Advantages in Hobart:
◉ Exceptional longevity (60-100+ years)
◉ Beautiful natural appearance
◉ Excellent thermal properties
◉ Fire resistant
◉ Ages gracefully
Considerations:
◉ Highest initial cost
◉ Very heavy (structural capacity critical)
◉ Can be brittle (careful handling required)
◉ Limited color options (natural earth tones)
◉ Some profiles require specialized installation
Material Selection by Hobart Suburb
Coastal (Bellerive, Howrah, Sandy Bay, Eastern Shore): Recommendation: Coastal-rated Colorbond Why: Superior salt air resistance, proven long-term performance Alternative: Quality tiles with galvanized/stainless steel valleys and components
Sheltered valleys (Lenah Valley, South Hobart): Recommendation: Either tiles or metal, based on aesthetic preference Why: Less salt stress, moss management similar for both with proper maintenance Note: Budget for regular cleaning if choosing tiles
Heritage areas (Battery Point, North Hobart, West Hobart): Recommendation: Terracotta or quality concrete tiles matching area character Why: Aesthetic appropriateness, council requirements, property value considerations Note: Verify council requirements before selecting materials
Modern developments (Kingston, Brighton, Blackmans Bay): Recommendation: Colorbond for contemporary appeal Why: Clean lines suit modern architecture, lower maintenance appeals to busy homeowners Alternative: Modern-profile concrete tiles for different aesthetic
Bushfire-prone (Mount Nelson, Fern Tree, Ridgeway): Recommendation: Tiles for maximum fire resistance Why: Non-combustible, excellent ember protection Alternative: BAL-rated Colorbond meeting required standards
The Roof Replacement Process: What to Expect
Understanding the process helps you plan and know what’s normal vs. concerning.
Phase 1: Planning and Preparation (2-4 weeks before work)
Step 1: Comprehensive assessment
◉ Professional inspection of existing roof

◉ Decide on associated options (gutters, insulation, etc.)
Step 3: Detailed quoting
◉ Get 2-3 detailed written quotes
◉ Compare scope, materials, costs, warranties
◉ Verify all necessary work is included
◉ Check contractor credentials and references
Step 4: Contractor selection
◉ Choose based on quote quality, references, credentials
◉ Verify licensing and insurance through Consumer, Building and Occupational Services Tasmania
◉ Review contract terms carefully
◉ Understand warranty coverage
◉ Confirm payment schedule
Step 5: Pre-work preparation
◉ Obtain necessary permits
◉ Schedule work timing
◉ Arrange material delivery
◉ Notify neighbors of upcoming work

◉ Begin systematic removal of existing roofing
◉ Remove valleys, flashings, and capping
◉ Dispose of materials in skip bins
◉ Initial assessment of roof structure revealed
What you'll experience:
◉ Significant noise throughout the day
◉ Dust and vibration in house
◉ Workers on and around your property
◉ Large skip bins taking up space
◉ Your home is partially exposed (weather-dependent scheduling critical)
Normal vs. concerning:
Normal: Dust, noise, debris around property perimeter, workers on roof 7am-5pm
Concerning: Structural problems discovered that weren’t identified in assessment, excessive damage to surrounding property, poor site management
Your role:
- Keep pets inside
- Don’t park cars near work area
- Be available for questions about unexpected issues
- Document with photos if you notice concerns
Day 2-3: Structural assessment and repairs
What happens:
◉ With old roofing removed, structure is fully visible
◉ Any timber rot or damage is apparent
◉ Necessary repairs can be assessed accurately
◉ Structural work completed before new roofing begins
Potential discoveries:
◉ Rotted rafters or battens (common if there's been long-term leaks)
◉ Inadequate ventilation
◉ Previous poor-quality repairs
◉ Pest damage
◉ Inadequate bracing or support
Cost implications:
Minor timber repairs: Often included in original quote (within reason) Major structural work: May require additional costs—discuss immediately
Communication is key:
Good contractors will:
- Show you any problems discovered
- Explain implications
- Provide photos
- Give immediate cost quotes for additional work
- Get your approval before proceeding with extras
Phase 3: New Roof Installation (3-7 days depending on complexity)
Step 1: Sarking and battens
What happens:
◉ New sarking (waterproof membrane) installed
◉ New battens fixed to rafters
◉ Valleys and flashing systems installed
◉ Quality contractors ensure proper ventilation
Why this matters:
◉ Sarking is your waterproof layer—critical for protection
◉ Battens must be straight and properly spaced
◉ Proper installation here determines final roof quality
Step 2: Main roofing material installation
For tile roofs:
◉ Tiles laid systematically from bottom to top
◉ Each tile properly positioned and secured
◉ Mechanical fastening in wind-prone areas
◉ Cut tiles around penetrations and edges
◉ Timeline: 3-5 days for average home
For metal roofs:
◉ Sheets installed with proper overlap
◉ Fasteners placed correctly and sealed
◉ Valleys integrated properly
◉ Flashing detailed around all penetrations
◉ Timeline: 2-4 days for average home

Total Timeline
Complete roof replacement typically takes:
- Planning phase: 2-4 weeks
- Active work: 5-10 days (depending on size and complexity)
- Weather delays: Factor in 0-5 additional days
- Total project: 4-8 weeks from contract signing to completion
Weather impact:
Hobart’s changeable weather can affect timelines:

Financing Options
Home equity loan/line of credit:
- Often lowest interest rates
- Tax-deductible in some cases
- Requires adequate equity in property
Personal loan:
- No property collateral required
- Quick approval process
- Higher interest rates than secured loans
Specialized home improvement loans:

Government programs:
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) sometimes offers programs for energy-efficient home improvements that could include roofing with insulation upgrades. Check current offerings.
Cost-Saving Strategies (That Don’t Compromise Quality)
Legitimate ways to reduce costs:
Timing flexibility:
◉ Off-peak scheduling (winter) sometimes offers better rates
◉ Contractors may discount to fill schedule gaps
◉ Being flexible with start dates can save 5-10%
Material selection:
◉ Concrete tiles vs. terracotta (if both suit your needs)
◉ Standard vs. premium color options
◉ Essential inclusions vs. nice-to-have additions
Doing preparatory work yourself:
◉ Clearing area around house
◉ Moving outdoor furniture and plants
◉ Coordinating permits (if you have time and knowledge)
◉ Post-project cleanup
Getting multiple quotes:
◉ Competition drives fair pricing
◉ Ensures you understand market rates
◉ Reveals if one quote is unreasonable
Coordinating with other work:
◉ Schedule roof replacement with planned solar installation
◉ Combine with gutter replacement rather than doing separately
◉ Coordinate access/scaffolding with other exterior work
False economies to avoid:
❌ Choosing cheapest quote regardless of quality indicators
❌ Saving money by skipping necessary structural work
❌ Using standard materials where coastal-rated required
❌ Eliminating warranty coverage to reduce cost
❌ Hiring unlicensed contractors
❌ Delaying necessary work until it becomes emergency

Common Roof Replacement Mistakes to Avoid
Learn from others’ errors:
Mistake #1: Choosing based solely on price
The cheapest quote often becomes the most expensive when problems arise. Value and quality matter more than lowest price.
Mistake #2: Not verifying credentials
Unlicensed contractors leave you without recourse when problems occur. Always verify licensing and insurance.
Mistake #3: Accepting vague quotes
"Complete roof replacement: $25,000" tells you nothing. Demand itemized quotes specifying all inclusions.
Mistake #4: Ignoring structural issues
Putting new roofing on damaged structure is false economy. Address structural problems properly.
Mistake #5: Wrong materials for location
Standard products in coastal areas or inappropriate materials for climate lead to premature failure.
Mistake #6: Paying too much upfront
Never pay more than 30% deposit. Retain significant final payment until satisfied with completion.
Mistake #7: No written contract
Verbal agreements are unenforceable. Everything must be in writing with clear terms.
Mistake #8: Skipping permits
Required permits protect you legally and ensure work meets standards. Don't skip them to save time or money.
Mistake #9: Not planning for disruption
Roof replacement is disruptive. Plan accordingly for work, pets, children, and daily life.
Mistake #10: Forgetting about access
Ensure contractors can actually access all areas of your roof. Difficult access increases costs significantly.
Special Considerations for Hobart Properties
Coastal Properties
Critical requirements:
- Coastal-rated materials mandatory
- Enhanced fastening specifications
- More frequent maintenance schedule
- Careful flashing detailing
- Annual freshwater washing recommended
Common mistake: Using standard-grade materials to save money, leading to premature failure
Heritage Properties
Special considerations:
- Council approval may be required
- Material matching challenges
- Specialized contractors necessary
- Higher costs for appropriate materials
- Heritage requirements trump some cost considerations
Resources: Check with Hobart City Council for specific heritage requirements before planning replacement.
Bushfire-Prone Areas
Mandatory requirements:
- Roof must meet BAL rating for area
