Trading name of SALTWATER ROOFING PTY LTD · Sunshine Coast, QLD
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
Saltwater Roofing turns up one of the cleanest review records of the Sunshine Coast roofers we've reviewed: 49 Google reviews, every single one five stars. Behind it sits a real, verifiable company — Saltwater Roofing Pty Ltd, registered since September 2020, GST-active, with a QBCC licence number (15311605) published right in their website footer. That's exactly the paper trail you want to see, and it took us minutes to confirm.
What makes the reviews credible rather than merely glowing is how specific and consistent they are about the same three people. Alyssa runs the organising and scheduling — reviewers repeatedly single out her communication, including one insurance-claim customer who called her coordination of the various trades 'first class'. Zeke leads the planning and the tradesmen; Ben gets named leading crews on site, including a complex flat-roof job with tricky box guttering. The recurring adjectives are 'tidy', 'respectful' and 'professional' — several reviewers specifically mention crews protecting gardens and leaving spotless sites.
The honest caveats are modest but real. The company is only five years old — the '15 years of experience' on their site is the team's claimed trade background, not corporate history, and we couldn't verify it independently. Google is also the only review platform they're on, so the perfect 5.0 has no second source to corroborate it. And this is a metal roof replacement specialist: if you're after tile work or a cheap patch-up, their whole process — scaffold, solar removal and reinstall, batten and tie-down inspection — is built around doing whole roofs properly, not small jobs cheaply.

Who you'll actually deal with
Zeke — with Alyssa running the office
Zeke is the principal — the firm's own website is edited under his name, its testimonial praises 'Zeke and his team', and reviewers describe working through the planning stage with him directly. Alyssa is the other half of the operation: named seven times in reviews, always for organising, scheduling and communication — including coordinating trades on a full insurance-claim replacement. Ben appears as a crew lead on site, praised for communication and follow-up on a complex flat-roof job.
The firm describes itself as locally owned and operated, fully licensed and insured through the QBCC, with the team's experience spanning 15 years in the industry — their claim, and the company registration itself only dates to 2020. Their published replacement process is unusually detailed for a firm this size: safety rail, professional solar panel removal and reinstatement, batten and tie-down inspection against Australian Standards, joint sealing, and full site cleanup — steps that reviewers' comments about tidy, well-run sites appear to bear out.
What clients say
In their own words
Saltwater roofing recently completed a full roof replacement via an insurance claim. They completed the work in great time, and left our house very clean and tidy. Alyssa’s communication around the scheduling and activities between the various trades was first class.
We have just had a new colour bond roof put on by Saltwater Roofing , I highly recommend Saltwater Roofing , the planing stage working with Zeke and Alyssa went smoothly, Zeke’s tradesman did a incredible job we are extremely happy with finished product thanks to the Saltwater Team
I cannot speak highly enough of the roofing team and the scaffold team. Both teams were professional, efficient and very respectful of the garden areas around my house.
Reviewers consistently describe smooth, well-communicated metal re-roofs — Alyssa's scheduling and trade coordination, Zeke's planning, and crews that leave sites clean and gardens untouched.
Best for
- Full Colorbond/metal roof replacements — the firm's stated specialty and virtually the entire review record
- Insurance-claim re-roofs — one reviewer's storm-damage replacement was coordinated across multiple trades with 'first class' communication
- Homes with solar panels or tricky access — their documented process covers professional solar removal and reinstall, scaffolding and safety rail
Less suited for
- Tile roofing or roof restoration — everything here is metal replacement; there's no tile work anywhere in the record
- Small budget repairs — their process is built around doing whole roofs thoroughly, which is rarely the cheap option for a minor fix
- Anyone who wants a long corporate track record or multi-platform reviews — the company is five years old and Google is its only review source
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Your website footer shows QBCC licence 15311605 — can you confirm it's current so I can verify it on the QBCC register?
- Your site promises 'substantial guarantees' on all roofing solutions — what exactly is the workmanship warranty in years, and can I have it in writing with the quote?
- Is the professional removal and reinstatement of my solar panels included in the quoted price, and who certifies the electrical reconnection?
- Will Zeke or Ben be leading the crew on my job, and who is my day-to-day contact — Alyssa in the office or the site lead?
- Once the old roof comes off, how do you keep the house watertight overnight if weather rolls in mid-job?
Bottom line
A verified, QBCC-licensed company with a perfect 49-review record and a genuinely well-documented replacement process — the only real asterisks are its short five-year corporate history and the lack of any second review platform. For a metal re-roof on the Sunshine Coast, this is a strong shortlist pick.
