Hindmarsh Roofing
Trading name of HINDMARSH ROOFING PTY LTD · Adelaide, SA
AustralianRoofers Trust Score New
How it's calculated: a transparent, evidence-weighted score — identity & longevity from the public ABN register, reputation from verified Google reviews, and consistency from cross-checking independent platforms. Grades are proportional to the evidence. Where we search the register and can't confirm a business, the identity check scores zero rather than being quietly left out — so a firm we couldn't verify never outranks one we could. Longevity stays unscored in that case, because without a registration date there's nothing to measure.
Our honest take
Hindmarsh Roofing is one of the easier Adelaide firms to feel confident about on paper. The company checks out on the Australian Business Register — HINDMARSH ROOFING PTY LTD, a private company registered in the same Woodville postcode as their Port Road office, with an ABN active since November 1999 (the first day ABNs existed, so the record goes back as far as it can). Their own site says the business dates to 1979 and is SA family owned and operated; we can't independently verify the 1979 date, but a 26-year company record plus 71 Google reviews at 4.8 stars is a solid foundation either way.
What the reviews describe is a firm built around the big job: full tile-to-Colorbond conversions, heritage galvanised iron re-roofs, asbestos-shingle removals, even a 4,000-square-metre commercial re-roof mentioned in a testimonial on their own site. Customers repeatedly praise the same things — detailed itemised quotes, turning up when they said they would, clean sites, and clear communication from three names that come up again and again: Damien, Barry and Dragan.
Our honest caveats: Google is the only independent review source we could find (no ProductReview listing), their 'industry leading warranties' and 'fully licenced and insured' lines are self-claims from their own website with no licence number published on the pages we read, and the review taxonomy leans heavily toward full replacements — if you just need a $400 leak patched, you may not be their core customer. None of that is a red flag; it's just the shape of the firm.

Who you'll actually deal with
Damien, Barry and Dragan — the names customers know
The firm describes itself as SA family owned and operated, established in 1979 — that's their claim, from their own site, and the company registration (November 1999, the earliest an ABN can date from) is consistent with a long-running business. What we can verify from reviews is who customers actually deal with: Damien is named in 12 of the 20 most recent Google reviews, Barry in 7 and Dragan in 3, usually in the context of quoting, running the project and sorting issues.
We couldn't confirm formal titles or who owns the company — the website doesn't publish a team page — so we won't guess. But the pattern in the reviews is clear: the same few people handle a job from itemised quote to final tidy-up, and one reviewer specifically noted that Dragan came back and corrected minor issues after completion, which says something about accountability.
What clients say
In their own words
Great service. Completed very quickly. Professionally done work. Old roof tiles and gutters disposed of promptly. Great communication. The new roof certainly made the house cooler in hot weather. Hindmarsh Roofing, highly recommended.
Very happy with my new heritage galvanised iron roof in Norwood. They had to work around skylights, air-conditioning units and repair some rafters Efficient with good communication throughout.
Dragan was excellent with assisting at all times and keeping me up to date with activities with our new roof. The work was done in a timely manner throughout our project. Some minor issues were corrected by Dragan following completion.
Reviewers consistently describe detailed no-hidden-cost quotes, crews that turn up on time, tidy sites with old materials disposed of promptly, and strong communication throughout — with 'highly recommend' the single most common phrase.
Best for
- Full tile-to-Colorbond or metal roof replacements where you want an itemised, no-surprises quote
- Heritage and older-home re-roofs — galvanised iron, rafter repairs, asbestos-shingle removal are all described in reviews
- Larger or multi-dwelling jobs (units, sheds, commercial) that need a coordinated crew rather than a solo tradie
Less suited for
- Small one-off repairs or leak patches — only one leak-detection mention across the reviews we mined; full replacement is clearly their bread and butter
- Roof restoration on a tight budget — reviewers call their pricing competitive, but this is a quality-first specialist outfit, not the cheapest quote in town
- Anyone who wants to verify a second independent review platform first — Google is the only external source we could find
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Your site mentions 'industry leading warranties' — can you put the exact workmanship warranty period in writing, separate from the COLORBOND material warranty?
- You advertise as fully licenced and insured — what's your SA builder's licence number so I can check it with Consumer and Business Services?
- My old roof has asbestos shingles — do you use a licensed asbestos removalist, and is that removal itemised in the quote?
- Who will be my day-to-day contact on site — Damien, Barry or Dragan — and how do I reach them if something comes up mid-job?
- Does the quote include disposal of the old tiles and gutters, and how do you handle minor defects found after completion?
Bottom line
A 26-year company record, a 4.8-star Google rating across 71 reviews and named, accountable project managers make Hindmarsh Roofing one of the safer picks on AustralianRoofers for a full metal re-roof in Adelaide. Just get the warranty and licence details in writing — those are self-claims we couldn't independently verify.
