The Sunshine Coast lifestyle is unbeatable — but your roof deals with more than just sunny days.

From salty air to heavy downpours and humid summers, local roofs face unique pressures all year round. That’s why preventative maintenance is key.

Whether you live in Noosa, Buderim or Caloundra, here’s your go-to checklist to keep your roof in great shape — and avoid expensive repairs down the track.

Why Roof Maintenance Matters More on the Coast

• Salt Air: Speeds up rust and breaks down coatings faster than inland homes
• Tropical Rain: Finds even the smallest leaks or cracked pointing
• Humidity: Encourages moss, mould, and tile degradation
• Storms: Cause flying debris damage, loose flashing or clogged gutters

That’s why the best defence is a good maintenance plan.

Sunshine Coast Roof Maintenance Checklist

Quarterly Roof Care Tasks (Every 3 Months)

• Clear leaves and debris from gutters and valleys
• Visually check for rust, loose screws or cracked tiles
• Trim overhanging branches (especially near metal roofs)
• Inspect downpipes for blockages or slow drainage

Annual Roof Maintenance Tasks

• Book a full roof inspection with a professional
• Pressure clean roof surface to remove salt, moss, and grime
• Treat any visible rust or repaint worn areas
• Re-seal or re-point ridge capping where mortar has shifted
• Check all flashing, vents and penetrations for gaps or leaks

“Most major roof problems we fix on the Sunshine Coast started as small, preventable issues — caught too late.”

Signs You Might Be Due for Maintenance

• Water stains inside the ceiling after rain
• Mould on internal ceilings or in roof space
• Faded, peeling or chalky paint on tiles or metal
• Guttering overflow or blockages during storms

Local Tip: Schedule Before Summer Storms

Spring is the ideal time for Sunshine Coast roof care. You’ll avoid: - Emergency callouts during peak storm season - Roof leaks over holidays or cyclone periods - Premium pricing for last-minute repairs
