Suncoast Roofing
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
Suncoast Roofing is one of those firms where the review pattern tells you more than the star count. Yes, it's a perfect 5.0 from 21 Google reviews — but small samples can flatter, so we looked at who's doing the reviewing. The answer is striking: a good chunk of the praise comes from builders and trade professionals, including one who says Micah has been doing their roofing work for 15 years, and another who describes himself as a builder of 48 years giving 'credit where credit is due'. Tradespeople who rehire the same roofer for years are a much harder audience to please than a one-off homeowner.
On paper, the business is younger than that history suggests. The ABN — held under the Shirreff Family Trust — only dates from June 2020, with the 'suncoast roofing' business name registered that August, and GST registration came as recently as January 2025. Our read: the person has been roofing on the Sunshine Coast far longer than the current entity has existed, and the business has stepped up in scale over the last year or two. That's a normal shape for a sole-operator trade business, but it does mean the paper trail is short.
The honest gaps: we couldn't pull any usable text from the firm's own website, so almost everything we know comes from reviews and the Australian Business Register — there's no self-published team page, warranty statement or licence number we could check. And Google is effectively the only review platform they exist on. Neither of those things is a red flag for a small owner-run outfit, but it means you should ask the verification questions below directly rather than assuming.

Who you'll actually deal with
Micah — owner-operator
Micah — 'Mick' to about half his reviewers — is named in the majority of written reviews and is clearly the person you'll deal with from quote to finished roof. Clients describe him as honest, knowledgeable and fairly priced, and several mention he keeps them informed throughout the job. The ABR record puts the business name under the Shirreff Family Trust, consistent with a family-run, single-principal operation rather than a multi-crew company.
What stands out in our research is the trade following. One builder client writes that Micah has 'been doing my work for the last 15 Years and never let me down', another works with him on 'multiple high-end re-roofing projects', and a third says he's helped 'me and many of my clients' — including finding time for small jobs. When your repeat customers are builders who could use anyone, that's a stronger signal than any star rating.
What clients say
In their own words
We use Suncoast Roofing for our maintenance, and new roofing and gutter work on our commercial buildings. They provide a great service and we would recommend them.
Thanks Micah. Another job well done quickly and efficiently. You have been doing my work for the last 15 Years and never let me down. Rod R & J Evans Builders
Micah from Suncoast Roofing is very honest, knowledgeable and fairly priced (not to mention a nice guy to deal with). He has helped me and many of my clients with roof and gutter work. Even when it's a small job, he still finds the time.
The recurring themes are reliability, honest and competitive pricing, tidy workmanship, and a willingness to take on small jobs — with repeat trade clients providing the strongest endorsements.
Best for
- Full re-roofs and roof replacements on the Sunshine Coast — it's the most-mentioned job type in their reviews, including high-end projects for builders
- Small roofing and gutter jobs that bigger firms won't prioritise — 'small jobs' is the single most common theme in Google's review-tag analysis, and reviewers specifically praise Micah for finding time for them
- Builders and trade clients who want one dependable roofing sub — several reviewers are builders with long repeat relationships
Less suited for
- Anyone who wants a large, multi-crew company with office staff and formal project management — this is an owner-operator business, so capacity runs through one person
- Homeowners who like to verify a firm across multiple independent review platforms — Google is effectively the only source; there's no ProductReview presence
- Roof restoration, painting or tile-specific specialist work — nothing in the 21 reviews mentions it, so ask directly before assuming it's part of their offer
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- What's your QBCC licence number, and does it cover the specific roofing work I need?
- Will you (Micah) be on-site doing the work yourself, or does a crew handle it — and who supervises?
- What workmanship warranty do you offer on a re-roof, and is it in writing?
- Can you provide a certificate of currency for public liability insurance before we start?
- Is your quote fixed, and what happens on price if you find hidden damage — rotten battens, asbestos, rusted flashings — once the old roof comes off?
Bottom line
A small, family-trust-owned, owner-operated roofer with a flawless but Google-only review record — and, more persuasively, a set of builder clients who've rehired Micah for years. The paperwork trail is short (entity from 2020, no website text or licence details we could verify), so ask for the QBCC licence and insurance in writing, then expect the kind of job his trade clients keep coming back for.
