What we see on Evans Head roofs

Beachfront and riverfront homes get salt and humidity. The older housing stock means tile repointing is common, and newer Colorbond roofs are entering the screw-check window.

Main Beach, the river mouth and Razorback

Evans Head wraps around the mouth of the Evans River, with Main Beach on one side and the river and Razorback headland on the other. Homes near the beach and along the river take salt and humidity from both directions, and corrosion appears first on flashings, ridge capping and the bottom edges of sheets.

Fibro holiday houses and newer builds

Much of the village is older fibro and weatherboard holiday housing with metal roofs, mixed with newer brick-and-tile and modern Colorbond homes. The older houses tend to need rust treatment and sheet-end repairs; the brick-and-tile homes need ridge repointing as they age.

A bit further for most trades

Evans Head is a fair drive from most roofing businesses, so small jobs often get put off. We group Evans Head work into regular visits so minor repairs don't have to wait until they become a big leak.

What to check on a Evans Head roof

  • Corroded sheet ends where they overhang the gutter
  • Ridge pointing on brick-and-tile homes
  • Flashings and screws on river-facing slopes
  • Gutters on older fibro holiday houses
