Sunstate Roofing Sunshine Coast
Trading name of SUNSTATE ROOFING SERVICES 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
Sunstate is about as solid as the paperwork gets among the Sunshine Coast roofers we've reviewed. The company behind the name — Sunstate Roofing Services Pty Ltd — has been registered and GST-active since September 2012 at the same Nambour postcode where they keep an office and showroom, and the trading name matches the ABR record exactly. The firm says it started in 2004 as a one-man operation and now employs 20 people; the pre-2012 history is their own claim, but the scale today is easy to believe from the review record.
And what a review record it is: a flat 5.0 from 233 Google reviews, made up of 231 five-star and 2 four-star ratings — not a single review below four stars that we could find. For a company doing large re-roofing jobs, that's genuinely remarkable. The reviews consistently describe the same machine at work: quoting staff, measure-up staff, installers and admin all coordinating smoothly, with proactive updates on progress and weather delays. One reviewer switched from an asbestos roof to Colorbond and praised the whole chain; another said the neighbours recommended Sunstate and now they do too.
Two honest caveats. First, Google is the only rating source — there's no ProductReview or similar platform to cross-check, so the flawless score, while entirely consistent, is uncorroborated. Second, know what they don't do: the firm states plainly on its own website, twice, that they do not repair, replace or install tile roofs. This is a metal roof replacement specialist, and if your job is a tile roof or a small patch-up repair, you're simply not their customer.

Who you'll actually deal with
Alan and Jacqueline — family owners with a 20-person team
The firm's own about page names the managers: Alan and Jacqueline, a husband-and-wife pairing who the site says have 20+ years in the roofing industry between them. Alan is the visible face in the reviews — named six times, usually alongside praise for his team — including one customer who 'could not recommend Allan and his team any higher' after an asbestos-to-Colorbond replacement.
This isn't a bloke-and-a-ute operation, though. The site says the business has grown from a one-man team in 2004 to 20 staff with an office and showroom in Nambour, and the reviews back the structure up — customers repeatedly mention dealing with distinct quoting, measuring, installation and admin staff, all communicating well. The firm also says it coordinates the supporting trades itself, including reconnecting electrical wiring, solar panels and hot water systems after the new roof goes on.
What clients say
In their own words
Very happy with the reponces from quoting all the way to completion. Very one from quoting staff to measure up staff to installers to admin staff were always help to talk. Install time was great as well as the price.
we could not recommend Allan and his team any higher fantastic job done and very professional every step of the way we had an asbestos roof and now have a new shale grey colour bond one looks fantastic and will lower our insurance bill by a lot. well done team.
Many thanks to all involved at Sunstate Roofing Sunshine Coast for my new roof. I am very pleased with all aspects of the work, including advising me on progress and any weather delays. Good efficient work force!
Reviewers consistently describe a well-orchestrated company — smooth handoffs from quote to install, proactive progress and weather-delay updates, and finished metal roofs that customers say transformed their homes.
Best for
- Full metal re-roofs, including asbestos and old tin replacements with Colorbond or Zincalume — the firm's core specialty and the job type reviewers rave about
- Storm damage and insurance replacement work — the second most-mentioned theme in reviews
- Homeowners who want a structured company experience — office staff, a showroom you can visit, coordinated trades, and solar/electrical/hot-water reconnection handled for you
Less suited for
- Tile roofs of any kind — the firm states plainly on its own website that they do not repair, replace or install them
- Small one-off repairs — the review record and the firm's positioning are overwhelmingly about full replacements, not patch jobs
- Anyone outside their stated service map — Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Gympie region and North Brisbane; beyond that you'll need someone local
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- What's your QBCC licence number, so I can check it on the Queensland register before we sign?
- If my old roof is asbestos, who handles the removal and disposal — your team or a licensed subcontractor — and do I get the clearance documentation?
- Your site says you reconnect solar panels, electrical and hot water after the re-roof — is that included in the quote, and who certifies the electrical work?
- What warranty do you provide in writing — both on the Colorbond/Zincalume materials and on your workmanship — and for how long?
- How do you handle weather delays on a roof replacement — is my home watertight overnight mid-job, and how will you keep me updated?
Bottom line
A verified, GST-registered company with 13 years of corporate history, a 20-person team, and one of the cleanest large review records we've seen on the Sunshine Coast — the main question is fit, not quality: they're metal re-roof specialists who won't touch tile roofs or small repairs.
