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
CBT Roofing is one of the more convincing 5.0 ratings we've seen among the Sunshine Coast roofers we've reviewed — not because of the number itself, but because it's built on 61 reviews with real depth to them. People don't just say 'great job'; they describe the process: Kerry turning up next-day to find a leak other companies wouldn't touch, Cody liaising with council and engineers to make a job possible that other firms had declared impossible, and a re-roof on a 100-year-old Queenslander with narrow access done 'in the middle of summer'. Detail like that is hard to fake and easy to verify.
The insurance and hail-damage work is the standout thread. Multiple reviewers describe CBT managing their insurance claims end-to-end after hail storms — one says the claim successfully covered both roof and solar panel replacement, another notes 'the insurance company had confidence with their work'. For a coastal Queensland roofer, that's exactly the muscle you want. The company checks out on paper too: a private company since August 2017, GST-registered from the start, and their own site publishes a licence number (15338169) — that's their claim, so verify it against the QBCC register, but firms with something to hide don't usually print licence numbers in the footer.
The honest gaps are modest. Google is the only review platform we could actually read — there's no ProductReview listing, and the Word of Mouth page blocked us — so the 5.0 lacks a truly independent second source. The ABR's registered location (postcode 4501, north Brisbane) doesn't match the Beerwah shed, which is likely just registered-office bookkeeping but worth a passing glance. And with every single review at 5 stars, there's no critical feedback to learn from — you're relying on the pattern, not the exceptions.

Who you'll actually deal with
Kerry and Cody — the faces of a family firm
The firm describes itself on its own site as a family-owned company based in Beerwah, and two names dominate the reviews. Kerry is the most-mentioned by a wide margin — he's the one doing site visits, quotes and leak inspections, and reviewers repeatedly single out his honest, no-pressure advice, with one describing his manner as 'authentic and open without the pretence'. Cody appears as the one leading crews and solving the harder problems — one reviewer credits him with liaising with council and engineers to get a job approved that other companies had walked away from.
There's visible depth behind them too: a reviewer names crew members Blake, Liam and CJ on an asbestos-to-Colorbond conversion, Claudia is mentioned alongside Cody, and several reviews separately praise the office admin for friendly, efficient booking and communication. That combination — named people on the tools plus an organised back office — is more structure than most Sunshine Coast roofing outfits we've reviewed can show.
What clients say
In their own words
We used CBT for our new build just recently. Can't fault them, great communication and they worked with us to ensure we got a top job by discussing our requirements. Many thanks to all. If you need a new or a re-roof on the Sunny Coast contact CBT.
CBT re-roofed our house in July 2025 after extensive hail damage. They were courteous, efficient and professional with everything they undertook. The insurance company had confidence with their work, and we were very happy with the outcome.
I had the pleasure of meeting Cody today at our place, He was on time and very professional in his assessment of our extensive water leaks. Would have no problem recommending him and Claudia to anyone for any roofing problems.
Reviewers consistently describe professional, honest, well-communicated work — with hail-damage re-roofs, insurance claims handled end-to-end, and thorough leak diagnosis as the recurring stories.
Best for
- Hail and storm damage re-roofs where the insurer is involved — multiple reviewers describe CBT managing the claim process, one covering roof and solar panels entirely
- Complex or 'too hard basket' jobs — reviews mention council and engineer liaison, a narrow-access Queenslander re-roof, and an asbestos-to-Colorbond conversion
- Homeowners who want honest assessment before spending — several reviewers say Kerry's advice saved them money or offered multiple options rather than pushing the dearest fix
Less suited for
- Tile roofing repairs — CBT is a metal roofing specialist by their own description; their tile offering is conversion to tin, not tile restoration
- Anyone needing weekend or Friday-afternoon scheduling — their published hours run Monday to Thursday 7:30am–4pm and Friday only to 2pm
- Those who want a rating verified across multiple independent review platforms — Google is effectively the only readable source
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Your website lists licence number 15338169 — can you confirm it's current with QBCC and covers the roofing work I need?
- For an insurance job, do you deal with my insurer directly, and who owns the scope negotiation if the assessor's estimate falls short?
- Will Kerry or Cody be quoting and overseeing my job, and who's actually on the roof day to day?
- What workmanship warranty do you provide in writing on a full re-roof, on top of the Colorbond material warranty?
- You advertise a 24–48 hour quote turnaround — does that hold right now, and what's the realistic wait before the job itself starts?
Bottom line
A properly structured, family-run metal roofing company with eight years of company history, an unusually detailed 61-review record, and genuine insurance-work credentials. The rating is single-platform and every review is 5 stars, so do the standard QBCC licence check — but everything we could verify points the right way.
