Frequently Asked
Questions

Do you need to access my home interior for the job?

Otago Reroofing does not need to go inside your home. We do, however, need electricity. Normally, we use an extension cord from a window.

Can Otago Reroofing do a re-roof during winter?

We can replace your roof any time of year. During winter, there may be minor delays to ensure the weather is fine. We only work when it’s dry.

How long does re-roofing take?

A re-roof by Otago Reroofing usually takes 3-7 days. This depends on the roof’s size and complexity. We’ll give you an estimate when you book with us.

How much advance notice is needed for scheduling a new roof installation?

We generally plan a month ahead. Booking early with Otago Reroofing helps us provide an estimated timeline and adjust for weather changes.

What’s the best type of longrun roofing?

Choosing the right longrun roofing involves your home’s design, roof slope, and location. Otago Reroofing’s sales team can provide expert advice and warranty details.

Can Otago Reroofing fix rotten wood during re-roofing?

Yes, we replace rotten timber during a roof overhaul. We also fix structural problems and can work with a builder if needed.

Can insulation be added when replacing the roof?

Adding insulation is standard when Otago Reroofing replaces roofs, making it a great time to do so.

Is Gutter Cleaning Included in Re-roofing?

Gutter cleaning comes at no added cost when we do re-roofing.

Are Permits Required for Re-Roofing?

Usually, permits are not needed for ‘like-for-like’ re-roofing. However, we suggest checking with your local council for any specific rules.

Can I Change from Metal or Concrete Tiles to Longrun Roofing?
