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
Queensland Roofing is one of those firms where the reviews read less like a scoreboard and more like a character reference for the two people who run it. David (the owner — reviewers call him Dave) is repeatedly described as one of the most knowledgeable people customers have dealt with in roofing, and Morgan handles a lot of the quoting and project contact with real care — one reviewer credited him with getting them 'out of a bind' after several other tradies let them down. Strikingly, several reviews praise the honest advice they got even when it didn't lead to a paid job, which is exactly the behaviour you want from a roofer and can't fake for long.
The paperwork side checks out well. The company has been registered and GST-active since January 2009 — 17 years — and on their own site they say the business has been licensed since 1978, quoting builder's licence number 1183418. We'd note that 1978 predates the company's 2009 registration by three decades, so that licence history presumably belongs to the person behind the business rather than the Pty Ltd itself — worth asking about, and easy to verify against the QBCC register.
Where they lose marks is capacity and responsiveness, and the reviews are upfront about it. The 4.5 average hides three one-star reviews out of 35, at least one from someone still waiting on a callback for a small job; another reviewer noted the owner called back only 'after a delay'; one candid four-star review said Dave was excellent but simply 'didn't have enough resources' for their big project; and one job had false starts when materials didn't arrive. The picture we get is a small, genuinely expert crew that does quality work but can be stretched — brilliant when you get them, occasionally slow to get.

Who you'll actually deal with
David — owner, with Morgan
This is clearly David's business — reviewers name him (as Dave or David) nine times across recent reviews, the firm's own site describes him as the owner who does phone quotes, and one reviewer specifically appreciated that 'the owner himself called me back'. The consistent thread is deep technical knowledge: multiple reviewers describe him as among the most knowledgeable people they've encountered in the industry, and several thank him for honest advice that didn't earn him a cent.
Morgan is the other name that keeps coming up — ten mentions, the most of anyone — usually around quoting, communication and shepherding jobs through. Reviews credit him with going out of his way with information and advice, and with keeping big weather-delayed jobs (like a full roof sarking project) on track. Between the two of them you get a very personal service; the flipside, as a couple of reviews note, is that a two-principal operation has finite bandwidth.
What clients say
In their own words
Honesty and great advice from Dave. Appreciate it seems hard to find in the roofing industry from my investigation.
These guys got back to me in a timely manner, turned up when they said they would, did the job without any issues. Could not ask for anything more. 100% satisfied.
Dave is very experienced and knowledgeable. He provided some valuable advice even though he didn't have enough resources to do our big project.
The recurring themes are David and Morgan's expertise and honest advice — often given freely at the quote stage — alongside reliable turn-up-when-they-say work, with the few gripes being about callbacks and capacity rather than the quality of the roofing itself.
Best for
- Getting a straight diagnosis on a leak or storm damage from someone deeply experienced — several reviewers got honest advice even when it meant no job for the firm
- Homeowners who want to deal directly with the owner rather than a rotating sales layer — David quotes and Morgan manages, and reviewers name both
- Colorbond and metal roof maintenance, repairs and insurance-driven full replacements around Brisbane, Logan and the Gold Coast
Less suited for
- Very large projects — one candid reviewer said Dave was excellent but didn't have the resources for their big job, so scope it honestly upfront
- Anyone who needs a same-day callback on a small job — the one-star reviews are almost entirely about waiting on quotes and responses
- Deadline-critical work — reviews mention material false-starts and long rain delays stretching timelines, even when the final quality was praised
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Your site says 'licensed since 1978' under builder's licence 1183418, but the company was registered in 2009 — whose licence is that, and can we verify it on the QBCC register?
- Given your crew size, is a job of my scope something you can take on right now, and what's a realistic start date?
- How do you handle material delays — one reviewer mentioned false starts when materials didn't arrive — and will you keep me posted if the schedule moves?
- Can you give me the quote in writing with photos and supporting detail, and confirm what would count as a variation?
- What warranty do you offer on workmanship, and how does it interact with an insurance-funded replacement if that's how my job is being paid for?
Bottom line
A small, seriously knowledgeable Brisbane outfit with 17 years of company history and reviews that praise honesty as much as workmanship — the kind of roofer you shortlist for advice you can trust. Just be realistic about their bandwidth: book early, get timelines in writing, and don't expect big-company response times.
