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
Amazing Roof Restorations is a Newcastle tile-and-paint restoration outfit with a ten-year-old ABN behind it, verified by us on the Australian Business Register as sole trader Robert Daniel Gervaise — the same Robert who shows up by name in the reviews, usually with Jim or Aaron running the crew. The specialty is unmistakable: ten of the reviews we mined describe full restorations — pressure clean, tile repairs, repoint, prime and two colour coats — and price is praised more often here (six mentions) than for almost any other Newcastle roofer we've reviewed.
The happy reviews are specific and warm: a metal roof with loose sheeting fixed and a whirlybird added, a persistent ceiling leak finally resolved, crews that clean up as they go and keep owners posted stage by stage. One customer said they weren't the cheapest of three quotes but 'this business knows roofs' — which is about the best kind of praise a tradie can get.
But we have to be straight with you about the one-star review, because it's detailed and credible: a customer whose restored roof leaked badly within months, who says several return visits didn't fix it, and who ultimately paid a different company to redo the work. One bad story among eighteen reviews doesn't sink a firm — but it's an aftercare failure, not a personality clash, so it changes what you should ask for before hiring: a written workmanship warranty and a clear commitment on how post-job leaks get handled. We'd also note one of the five-star reviews oddly spends its words praising a completely different company, so read the review page yourself with that in mind.

⚑ One serious complaint: leaks months after a restoration
The single one-star review in their recent set is worth reading in full: the customer says the roof looked great after the restoration, but major leaking developed within a few months, several return visits failed to fix it, and another roofing company was eventually paid to correct work it said wasn't done properly. Seventeen other reviews are positive and several praise follow-through, so this may be an outlier — but because it's specifically about what happens after the invoice is paid, we'd make a written workmanship warranty and an agreed leak-response process a condition of hiring. Separately, one five-star review names a different company ('Exterior Coat Painting') as better — an oddity worth knowing when you weigh the average.

Who you'll actually deal with
Robert Gervaise — owner, with Jim and Aaron leading crews
The business register settles who's behind this one: the ABN is personally registered to Robert Daniel Gervaise as a sole trader, and he's the 'Robert' four reviewers thank for quoting and running their jobs. Jim appears in three reviews ('Jim and crew', 'Jim and Robert') and Aaron in one, each described leading tidy, well-mannered teams — so this is an owner plus small crews, not a one-man band and not a franchise.
The reviews sketch the working style: quotes without 'the hard sell approach', restorations knocked over in about three days, clean-ups as they go, and updates at each stage. The firm's own site claims 'decades of industry leading service' — their words, and vaguer than we'd like given the business name dates to 2017 — but the on-the-ground descriptions of how Robert's crews operate are consistent across nearly every review.
What clients say
In their own words
My roof was completed today and it looks awesome. What a difference it has made, to the appearance and structural integrity.. no more partially loose sheeting and with a new whirlybird to get rid of roof cavity heat...couldn't be happier. Great job Jim and crew. Thank you.
Robert and his team were very helpful, had high workmanship and works were efficiently completed. My roof was in desperate need of some TLC and the price was really reasonable for the scope. I would recommend Amazing Roof Restorations to anyone considering getting works done to their roof.
They were very professional with great work ethics and quality. Cleaned up as they went & kept me informed about the different stages. I would highly recommend them. 10 out of 10.
Recurring themes across 18 Google reviews: full tile restorations done quickly and tidily at sharp prices, staged communication and daily clean-ups, and friendly crews under Robert, Jim and Aaron — offset by one detailed complaint about leaks emerging months after a restoration.
Best for
- Full tile roof restorations — pressure clean, repairs, repoint, prime and two colour coats is their bread and butter
- Budget-conscious homeowners comparing quotes — price is the most-praised thing about them after the workmanship itself
- Metal and Colorbond repaints and repairs with practical extras — one reviewer's job included fixing loose sheeting and adding a whirlybird for roof-cavity heat
Less suited for
- Full roof replacements or re-roofs — only a single review mentions replacement-type work, so the evidence base isn't there
- Anyone who wants a deep independent paper trail — a sole trader with 18 Google reviews and no ProductReview listing
- Homeowners not prepared to negotiate warranty terms up front — the one detailed complaint is specifically about post-job leaks and follow-up, so don't hire on a handshake
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- What's your written workmanship warranty on a restoration, and — if leaks appear months later — what exactly do you commit to doing, and how fast?
- Will you quote and oversee my job personally, Robert, or will it run through Jim's or Aaron's crew?
- Exactly what does the restoration price include — pressure clean, tile replacement, repointing, primer and how many colour coats — and what's excluded?
- Can you share your contractor licence number and current insurance certificate for restoration and painting work?
- How do you handle rain between coats mid-restoration, and is the roof left watertight overnight?
Bottom line
A verified ten-year sole-trader operation that does well-priced, tidy tile restorations and earns mostly warm, specific reviews — but the one detailed complaint about post-restoration leaks means the smart move is simple: get the workmanship warranty and leak-response terms in writing before the first tile is touched.
