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
Over the Top Roofing Specialists is one of the longer-standing operations among the Sunshine Coast roofers we've reviewed: the company behind it registered in November 1999, and the ABN and QBCC licence number are published right on their website — a transparency habit we wish more roofers had. The Google picture is strong too: 4.7 stars from 111 reviews, and every one of the 20 most recent reviews we pulled is five stars.
Read those reviews and a clear identity emerges: this is a re-roofing and restoration house. Full replacements — tile to steel conversions, Colorbond re-roofs, restorations — dominate the mentions, and the recurring praise is about process: crews that turn up when they said they would, office staff who keep you informed, detailed quotes, and — a detail two separate reviewers volunteered — final invoices with no surprise variations. One reviewer specifically noted they didn't overservice where other quoters had padded the job.
The honest caveats: a 4.7 average with a perfect recent run means the ding-marks live further back in the history where we can't see them, and the one negative on ProductReview is instructive — a homeowner who waited almost three weeks for a small fascia-and-gutter quote before being told the firm was focused on larger jobs. The firm's own site doesn't name its owners or team either (reviewers do that for them — Nathan as owner, Paul as a supervisor). None of this is disqualifying, but if your job is small, ask up front how long the quote will take.

Who you'll actually deal with
A family-run team — Nathan at the helm
The firm describes itself on its own site as family owned and operated with over 25 years in the trade, but doesn't name anyone — which is a slightly odd gap for a business this established. The names come from customers instead: ProductReview reviewers identify Nathan as the owner (one praised him for taking an emergency early-morning call-out), and a Google reviewer names Paul as the supervisor on their roof replacement, working alongside installation crews and an office team that several reviewers credit for keeping them informed.
What the reviews sketch is a proper structured operation rather than a bloke and a ute: quoting staff, admin follow-up, supervised crews, and quality-assurance checks after completion — one repeat customer described using them across two different properties. The trade-off of that structure, on the evidence, is that small jobs can sit in the queue behind the big ones.
What clients say
In their own words
Excellent job fixing our concrete tiled roof for a great price. Would highly recommend. Did not overservice compared to others who quoted for extra work that did not doing.
Did a great job replacing our colour-bond roof and gutters. Turned up when they said they would, great communication and a friendly team. Kept things neat and tidy.
This company is the best! Extrememly professional, fast, and very reasonable on price. The proccess was so smooth I was actually shocked at how easy and fast it all happened. I wouldn't reccommend any one else but Over the Top Roofing Specialists!
Reviewers consistently describe punctual, tidy crews, clear communication from office to site, competitive quotes honoured without variation, and a smooth process from inspection to final quality check.
Best for
- Full roof replacements and tile-to-Colorbond conversions where you want an established, structured crew
- Insurance and storm-damage re-roofs — the firm handles claims and several reviewers came via hail damage
- Homeowners who value process: detailed quotes, office updates, and post-job quality checks
Less suited for
- Small jobs — one ProductReview customer waited nearly three weeks for a fascia-and-gutter quote before being told the firm was concentrating on larger work
- Bargain hunters — even a delighted repeat customer said they couldn't call them the cheapest
- Anyone who wants to know exactly who they're dealing with before calling — the website names no owners or staff
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- My job is on the smaller side — realistically, how long will the quote take and where do I sit in the queue?
- Can you confirm QBCC licence 883240 covers the specific work you're quoting me for?
- Your reviewers praise invoices with no variations — will you put the price and any variation triggers in a fixed written contract?
- What workmanship warranty do you offer on a full re-roof, and is the Colorbond material warranty passed to me in writing?
- If the old roof contains asbestos, who handles the removal and will I get the clearance paperwork?
Bottom line
A 26-year-old, licence-and-ABN-out-front re-roofing specialist with a genuinely strong recent record — our advice is simple: bring them your big jobs, and if yours is a small one, ask about quote turnaround before you settle in to wait.
