Roof repair is not typically an easy task and should be handled by a professional contractor. However, if you are determined to repair your roof yourself, there are a few things you can do to make the job easier. First, make sure you have the right tools and materials for the job. This will vary depending on the type of roof you have and the extent of the damage, but at a minimum you will need a ladder, a roofing hammer, nails, shingles, and roofing cement. You should also make sure you have a helper to assist you with the repair and to keep you safe while working on the roof. Finally, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the basic steps involved in roof repair before you begin, so that you know what to expect and can plan your work accordingly.

How to repair roof easily? | Forum

Hi,
Hard to get proper info, but I'm looking for guidance on a full roof replacement. My home is about 200sqm in size and presently has concrete/cement roof tiles. It was built in 1980. After the crazy weather, we had a roofer come and do a minor repair to the roof, but he is now saying that the roof has had it and a full roof replacement is required. It is very expensive and it's very difficult to gauge what is a reasonable cost.
So far, I have had;
2 quotes to replace existing roof with colorbond – one quote was $50K the other quote was $60K.
1 quote to replace existing roof with cement tiles – $78K.
1 quote to replace existing roof with terracotta tiles – $97K.
$50K for the absolute cheapest seems like a lot, but maybe I'm wrong and my expectations need adjusting.
My home is in he Northern Rivers region of NSW. https://restonroof.com/arlington-va.php
Thanks in advance.
