What Does a Roofer's Website Cost in Australia?

An independent Australian cost guide, updated in October 2026, prices a roof restoration package at $2,500–$8,000. Its parts include pressure cleaning at $300–$800, rebedding and repointing the ridge capping at $1,000–$3,000 and a membrane or paint coating at $800–$2,500. A full replacement on a standard three-bedroom home comes in at $10,000–$30,000, with corrugated Colorbond at $50–$90 a square metre and terracotta tiles at $65–$120 on a 150 square metre roof. An independent roof inspection runs at $150–$300.

The same publisher's web design guide lists a landing page at $800–$3,000, a small business site of five to ten pages at $2,000–$6,000 and a custom build at $6,000–$15,000. In other words, a typical agency site costs about as much as one restoration job.

Our roofing websites cost $399 for one page, $899 for up to three pages and $1,499 for up to eight. The three-page site comes in under the guide's lowest figure for rebedding and repointing a ridge. There's no GST added, because we aren't registered for it, and nothing is paid until you've approved the finished draft.

A homeowner can't see their own roof, so the gallery does more of the selling on a roofing site than on most trade sites. Before and after shots of a ridge line, a replaced valley or a new metal roof, taken from a ladder or a drone, show what a photo from the street never could. A gallery comes with every roofing site we build, and we resize and compress each image so the page still loads quickly on a phone. Swapping in new jobs after launch is an image change on an existing page, covered by hosting.

If you fly a drone for those shots, CASA's rules apply because it's for business. A drone of 2 kg or less flown as part of your job doesn't need a remote pilot licence or operator's certificate, and CASA lists construction workers and tradespeople among the businesses that fly in this category. You do need an aviation reference number, RPA operator accreditation and a registered drone, and you must fly within the standard operating conditions. Micro drones of 250 g or less carry the same registration and accreditation steps when flown for business, and CASA says penalties apply for flying without them.

We don't take photos or fly drones. If you'd rather not deal with the paperwork, a drone photographer can shoot your best jobs and send you the files for the site. Our article on before-and-after photos on trade websites covers how to pair and caption them.

Owners of older homes with fibro or corrugated asbestos-cement roofs search specifically for someone who can remove it. In NSW, for example, SafeWork NSW says a Class B asbestos removal licence is needed before removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos or asbestos-containing material; other states set their licences through their own work health and safety regulator. The cost guide quoted above adds $3,000–$8,000 for asbestos removal on a replacement where it's needed, and lists scaffolding separately at $1,500–$3,500.

If you hold the licence, an asbestos page earns its place in the eight-page site: the licence class, how removal day runs, how the sheeting is wrapped and disposed of, and what the replacement roof will be. If you don't, one line saying you refer asbestos removal to a licensed removalist costs nothing and saves a phone call that goes nowhere.

The same caution belongs on a restoration page. The national Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency says it's illegal anywhere in Australia to use high-pressure water spray or compressed air on asbestos materials. If your restoration page leads with pressure cleaning, a sentence saying you don't pressure clean asbestos-cement roofs answers the question before a homeowner with a fibro roof books you. Adding that sentence later is a text change covered by hosting.

There's no roofing company among the 14 client sites in our portfolio, so here are the two nearest. SA Painting Professionals is an Adelaide painting company whose services include roof painting. Its site has 12 detailed service pages, region pages across South Australia, a suburb and postcode search, an online quote form and tap-to-call throughout, which is the shape a larger roofing business with several regions would grow into.

Western Sydney Stump Grinding & Tree Removal takes 24/7 emergency work, like a roofer after a storm. Its single page has two quote forms, tap-to-call throughout, reviews and a service-area list, and it has brought in at least 62 jobs worth about $46,500 (read the case study).

A bigger agency budget makes sense if you:

• tender for commercial and industrial roofing and need capability statements and project write-ups prepared for you;
• work on insurer panels and want the site tied into a claims or job-management system;
• run several branches, each with its own phone number, crew and service area;
• want copywriting, drone photography, SEO and Google Ads handled by the same firm.

We supply none of the writing, photography or ad management on that list. For a roofing business that can send its own words and job photos, much of a larger quote would pay for work you've already done.
