Roofing Hobart Pty Ltd
Hobart, TAS
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
The basics check out. Roofing Hobart Pty Ltd is a registered Australian private company (ABN 24 689 114 270, active, based in postcode 7015 on Hobart's eastern shore), it has a working website with a real about page, and it holds a perfect 5.0 on Google. The catch is the sample size — that score comes from just eight reviews, and there's no ProductReview presence to weigh it against.
The reviews that read like real jobs are genuinely encouraging. One customer had a leak sorted promptly after heavy rain; another had the crew re-roof a big machine shed ahead of a solar install, came in with the best-value quote, and worked seamlessly alongside a builder strengthening the structure; a third credits Michael and his team with going beyond the brief — demolishing a redundant chimney, realigning battens and replacing a rusted downpipe. Across the eight reviews, 'professional' comes up four times, 'recommend' three and 'reliable' twice.
Here's the candid part: the Pty Ltd was only registered in July 2025, so on paper this company is under a year old. Their site says they've protected 'over 1,000 Tasmanian homes' — that's the firm's own claim, and we couldn't verify it against any trading history under this entity (the crew may well have roofed under another name before, which is a fair question to ask them). A few of the eight Google reviews also read more like polished marketing copy than typical customer notes, so we'd lean on the specific, detailed ones when judging.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ Company registered July 2025 — the track record is hard to verify
The ABR shows Roofing Hobart Pty Ltd's ABN only became active on 15 Jul 2025, yet the firm's own site claims 'over 1,000 roofs protected'. Both can be true if the crew previously traded under another name, but we couldn't confirm that. A few of the eight Google reviews also read notably polished and generic ('If you're looking for a reliable roofing contractor in Hobart, look no further…'), which is worth weighing when a profile is this new. Ask about their history before signing.

Who you'll actually deal with
The team — with Michael named on the tools
The firm's website doesn't name its owners — it describes a 'locally owned team of certified roofing contractors' serving Hobart and Southern Tasmania, working on both homes and commercial properties. Company records show an Australian private company registered on Hobart's eastern shore in July 2025, which also registered the business name 'Hobart Scaffolding' a couple of months later — suggesting they run their own scaffolding rather than hiring it in, though that's our reading of the paperwork, not something the firm states.
The only person named anywhere in the reviews is Michael: one customer credits 'Michael and his team' with being attentive to questions and handling extras like demolishing a redundant chimney and replacing a rusted downpipe. We couldn't confirm his surname or role, so take him as the likely lead on the tools rather than a confirmed owner — worth asking who'd actually run your job when you call.
What clients say
In their own words
A very highly commendable and professional service provided by the team.Very committed and dedicated to doing an excellent job to the finest details.Job done was way above our expectations.Highly recommend their services.
We had the crew replace an old roof on our big machine shed so it was ready for solar panels. They came in with the best value quote. Worked seamlessly with a builder to strengthen the shed. Work was done rapidly, professionally and they were super easy to work with.
The recurring themes are professionalism, keen pricing and being easy to work with — the standout reviews describe a best-value quote on a full shed re-roof, smooth coordination with a builder, and unprompted extras done to get the job right.
Best for
- Straightforward metal roof repairs and leak fixes around Hobart and the eastern shore — one reviewer had a post-storm leak handled promptly
- Full metal re-roofs where you want a sharp quote — the shed re-roof reviewer says they came in with the best value and worked seamlessly with a builder
- Jobs with extras attached (chimney removal, batten realignment, downpipe replacement) — the detailed reviews suggest they don't nickel-and-dime the add-ons
Less suited for
- Anyone who wants a long, verifiable track record under one company name — this Pty Ltd only dates from July 2025
- Heritage, slate or tile-specific work — everything visible in the reviews and on their site is metal roofing
- Homeowners who lean on a deep independent review base before hiring — there are only 8 Google reviews and no ProductReview listing to cross-check
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- The ABR shows Roofing Hobart Pty Ltd was registered in July 2025 — how long has the crew behind it been roofing in Hobart, and did you trade under another name before?
- Your site says 'over 1,000 roofs protected' — can you point me to a couple of recent local jobs or references I can check?
- Who would run my job day-to-day — is that Michael — and will the same crew stay on it from start to finish?
- What licence do you hold for roofing work in Tasmania, and can you show me current public liability insurance before we start?
- What warranty do you offer on workmanship and materials, and will you put it in writing on the quote?
Bottom line
Early signs are genuinely good — detailed reviews describe sharp pricing, tidy work and extras done without fuss — but with a company registered in July 2025 and only eight reviews behind the perfect score, do the basic homework: ask about their history, licence and warranty before you sign.
