New Roof Installations IN MELBOURNE
A new roof is one of those things you only want to do once. Done well, it’ll protect your home for decades without a second thought, and that’s exactly what we aim for every time.
O’Shea Trades has been installing roofs across Melbourne since 1978. When our team is involved from the beginning, we make sure the roof goes on correctly with the right materials, proper sarking and insulation beneath, and everything fixed and sealed the way it should be.
As a sign of our confidence in our workmanship, every new roof we install is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
What’s Included in a
New Roof Installation

A new roof is more than just the outer layer. Done properly, it’s a system – and everything beneath the surface matters as much as what you can see from the street.
Depending on the project, our new roof installations include:
- Full structural assessment and preparation before anything goes on
- Sarking installation beneath the roofing material (important for insulation and moisture control). The best time to do insulation while you are replacing the cadding
- Insulation where applicable and specified
- Tile or metal roof installation, correctly fixed and aligned
- Ridge capping, flashings, and valley work
- Gutter connection and drainage
- Site clean-up once the job is complete
We manage the full scope. You won’t need to coordinate a separate crew for the sarking, another for the tiles, and someone else for the gutters.

Fixed Pricing, Before We Start
You’ll get a fixed quote before any work begins. If something comes up during the job that changes the scope, we’ll talk to you about it before we proceed, not after.
That’s how we’ve operated since 1978, and it’s not something we’re planning to change.

Licenced, Insured, and Backed by a Warranty
All installation work is carried out by licenced tradespeople. O’Shea Trades holds the relevant building licences and registrations, and every job is properly insured.
Every new roof we install is backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty. That covers the quality of our installation: the fixing, the sarking, the sealing, the finishing. If something we’ve done isn’t holding up the way it should, we’ll come back and sort it out.

What We Install
New roof installations aren’t one-size-fits-all. The right material depends on your home’s design, your budget, and what’s going to work best in your part of Melbourne.
Our team works across all the main roofing types:
A classic choice for Melbourne homes. Durable, well-suited to the local climate, and available in a wide range of profiles and colours. Terracotta, in particular, tends to age well and holds its look for decades.
