Questions

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

Otago Reroofing can put on your new roof in any season. In winter, there might be small delays. This is to make sure the weather is right. We work only 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.
