Trading name of Marcos Roofing · Melbourne, VIC
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 headline number here is genuinely rare: a perfect 5.0 across 124 Google reviews. Plenty of roofers hold 5.0 with a dozen reviews; keeping it flawless past a hundred takes consistency. And the substance backs the score — 'recommend' appears 18 times in recent reviews, 'clean' 12, and the praise is specific rather than gushing. The single best piece of evidence we found: a reviewer whose leak 'no one else could repair' had it fixed, then came back a year later to edit the review and confirm there'd been no further issues. Durability updates like that are worth more than ten fresh five-star ratings.
The paper trail is solid too. The ABN printed on their own website checks out on the ABR — active and GST-registered since January 2017, with the 'Marcos Roofing' business name registered in October 2020. One structural detail worth knowing: the legal entity is The Trustee for Lapulec Trust, so the name on your contract won't say 'Marco's Roofing Solutions'. That's a normal family-business arrangement, not a red flag — just make sure the trustee entity and ABN appear on your quote. The site's '15+ years of experience' claim is their own, and since the brand only dates to 2020, it presumably counts the principals' years in the trade.
Our honest caveats: Google is the only meaningful rating source — there's no ProductReview listing — so that perfect score, while impressive, is uncorroborated, and we couldn't find a single critical review to learn how they handle things going wrong. Slightly confusingly, the person most reviews rave about isn't Marco: it's Arthur, named 15 times, with crew members Walid and Jason also getting shout-outs, and 'Miri' listed as the other contact on the website. And the work mix skews heavily to tile — if you've got a Colorbond or metal roof, ask for specific references before assuming it's their bread and butter.

Who you'll actually deal with
Arthur and the crew
Here's a quirk we enjoyed: the business is called Marco's, but the man in most of the reviews is Arthur — named 15 times across the 20 most recent Google reviews, versus 3 mentions of Marcos. The website's contact section lists two numbers, one for Miri and one for Arthur, without giving either a title, so we can't tell you who formally owns the business — the ABR only shows a trust as the legal entity. What we can tell you is that Arthur is the person customers consistently describe dealing with, and they describe him well: communicative, reliable and straight about pricing.
There's a real crew behind the names. Reviewers give shout-outs to Walid and Jason for making sure 'everything was perfect', and the recurring themes — tidy sites, jobs delivered as promised 'plus more' — suggest a small, stable team rather than rotating subcontractors. The firm says its roofers are certified and licensed and that customer references are available on request; both are self-claims we couldn't verify, but the reference offer is easy to test — take them up on it.
What clients say
In their own words
Highly recommended. They fix a leak for us a few years ago that no one else could repair. More recently, they replaced broken tiles, rebedded and repointed ridge caps, replaced the rusted out valleys, and installed a storm seal. EDIT: A year later and no leaks or further issues 😍
An excellent service, super communicative and they delivered exactly what they said they would plus more. Shout out to Walid and Jason for making sure everything was perfect. We’re really happy with our roof and gutters.
Marco’s roofing was very helpful offering me several solutions for my roof leak issues. They did an excellent job replacing my roof and gutters, great communications and very professional. Highly recommended.
Reviewers describe stubborn leaks properly fixed and staying fixed, tidy tile restorations, and a crew — Arthur especially — praised for communication, reliability and honest pricing.
Best for
- Tile roof restorations — rebedding, repointing, valley replacement and repainting are the firm's clear specialty in reviews
- Stubborn leaks that other roofers haven't solved — one reviewer's 'no one else could repair it' fix was still holding a year later
- Northern-suburbs homeowners who want a responsive, family-scale crew with straight pricing rather than a sales-driven outfit
Less suited for
- Metal and Colorbond projects — the site claims slate-to-metal capability, but recent reviews are overwhelmingly tile work, so ask for specific references
- Anyone who wants a second independent review source before hiring — Google is the only substantial rating this firm has
- Anyone who prefers a formal corporate setup — the legal entity is a family trust, contact is via two mobiles and a Yahoo email, and roles aren't spelled out
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- My contract would be with The Trustee for Lapulec Trust trading as Marcos Roofing — can you confirm that entity and ABN will appear on the quote?
- Who runs my job day to day — Arthur, Miri or Marco — and who will actually be on the roof?
- Your website mentions awards and accreditations — which ones specifically, and can I see them?
- What written warranty do you offer on restorations and leak repairs, and what does it exclude?
- The site claims 15+ years of experience but the Marcos Roofing name dates to 2020 — whose experience is that, and where from?
Bottom line
A perfect 5.0 across 124 reviews is genuinely rare, and the nine-year GST-registered ABN behind it checks out — this looks like one of the safer tile-restoration picks in Melbourne's north. Just know the rating rests on Google alone, your contract will be with a trust rather than the brand name, and tile — not metal — is clearly the specialty.
