Why Quality Roofing Matters for a Standout New Build in Chandler

From the start, 598 London Road was never meant to be just another house. The owners set out to create a modern home with real street appeal and lasting quality. Like many people building from the ground up, they wanted every detail to be right, especially the roof, which is such a defining feature for any home in Chandler or across Brisbane. They first reached out to MyCladders for a quote, but in an effort to keep costs down, they decided to go with a cheaper roofing contractor.

As the build progressed and the roof started going on, it quickly became clear that saving money up front was coming at a cost. The workmanship simply didn’t match the vision for the home. The finish looked rough, the lines weren’t straight, and the roof just didn’t have the clean, architectural feel the owners wanted. Disappointed but determined to get it right, they got back in touch with MyCladders. Our team was brought in to assess the situation, offer honest advice, and deliver the quality roof the owners had hoped for from the beginning.

This is a situation we see often with new builds in Brisbane, choosing a roofing company based on price alone can lead to headaches and extra costs down the line. Our focus is always on helping clients get it right the first time, with open communication, reliable advice, and a finish that adds real value to their home.

The Brief: Installing the Client’s Choice of Modern Colorbond® Roof

Our job was to give this Chandler home a roof that looked sharp, matched the modern style of the build, and could stand up to Brisbane’s tough climate. The owners knew exactly what they wanted for their new home, they specified 465 Hiland Tray in Monument® Matt. This profile and finish are a popular choice for new builds and renovations in Chandler and across Brisbane, thanks to their crisp, bold lines and contemporary look.

Our role was to deliver the client’s vision and make sure their chosen materials were installed to the highest standard. With Colorbond® Steel, the owners could be confident their roof would resist fading, be easy to maintain, and protect their investment for years to come. We made it clear that our approach would be different from what they’d experienced so far. Our team would focus on getting the details right, communicating every step of the way, and making sure the final result matched the quality and style the owners expected for their new home.

Our Approach: Fixing Mistakes and Guaranteeing a Quality Finish

When we arrived on site, the first step was a thorough inspection of the existing work. We found that while some of the sheeting was still in good condition, the previous installation had left the roof looking uneven, with visible oil-canning—those unsightly ripples that can make a new roof look like King Kong had stomped all over it. This kind of problem is all too common when corners are cut or proper technique isn’t used.

Rather than waste good material, our team carefully removed and salvaged the usable sheets. We then re-installed them using the correct fixing techniques, making sure every panel was straight, tensioned, and properly aligned to avoid oil-canning and other issues. Any sheets that were damaged or poorly cut were replaced, ensuring a consistent and professional finish across the entire roof.

We also supplied and installed new custom flashings, box gutters, and rainwater goods, making sure the system was watertight and finished to a high standard. Skylights were integrated as planned, bringing extra natural light into the home. Throughout the process, we kept the owners updated and explained our oil-can free guarantee, so they could be confident their new roof would look great and stay that way for years to come.

The end result was a crisp, modern roof that finally matched the quality and vision of the home. The owners were relieved and happy to see their new build finished to the standard they expected. For us, it was another chance to show why quality matters, and why MyCladders is trusted for Colorbond® Steel roofing in Chandler and Brisbane.
