Kangaroof
Trading name of Kangaroof Group Pty Ltd · Sydney, NSW
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
If a friend asked us about Kangaroof, the first thing we'd mention is how personal the reviews are: a perfect 5.0 across 43 Google reviews, and Sal is named in 40 of them. Reviewers keep describing the same bloke — a hands-on tradesman who diagnoses the problem himself, explains the options clearly (often with photos and videos), and will happily tell you when work isn't actually needed. Several call out his honesty and 'integrity' by name. For leaks and pergola/polycarbonate work, we'd rate this a genuinely strong, low-risk pick.
The paperwork holds up too. When we checked the public record, the business is registered as Kangaroof Group Pty Ltd (ABN 32 660 539 104), an active Australian private company based in Parramatta (postcode 2150) — the same suburb as the listed address. The company ABN dates to 2022, and the register also shows an older 'kangaroof' business name, so there's a plausible longer trading history behind the current entity — though to be clear, we've only verified the active company itself.
Two honest caveats before you pick up the phone. First, this reads as a one-person, owner-operator business — multiple reviewers mention he's 'in high demand' and that the job was 'worth the wait', so while responsiveness is excellent, scheduling may not be instant, and we saw no evidence of a large crew for big or urgent commercial jobs. Second, there's no independent second review platform: a separate business called 'Kangaroofing And Guttering' appears on ProductReview.com.au with poor reviews, but that is NOT this firm — so the 5.0 here rests on Google alone.

The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ Don't confuse this firm with 'Kangaroofing And Guttering'
A separately-named business, 'Kangaroofing And Guttering', is listed on ProductReview.com.au and carries several negative reviews. That is a DIFFERENT company. This profile is for Kangaroof (kangaroof.com.au) in Parramatta, run by Sal, whose Google reviews are uniformly positive. We flag this only so the two aren't mixed up when you research online.

Who you'll actually deal with
Sal — hands-on owner-operator
Sal is named in 40 of the 43 reviews and personally signs the owner responses ('Cheers, Sal'), which makes this an unusually clear owner-operator case: the person who quotes, diagnoses and does the work is the person you deal with throughout. Reviewers describe him as methodical ('like a dog with a bone' on a tricky leak), a clear communicator who talks through options, and honest to the point of telling one customer major work wasn't needed right now — a self-claim echoed on the firm's own site.
Because the business is so clearly built around one tradesman, there's little visible evidence of a broader team or admin layer. That's a strength for accountability and consistency, but it's also the main structural limitation: capacity is tied to one person, which is why several reviews frame the wait as worth it rather than immediate.
What clients say
In their own words
Sal offers a rare blend of extremely high quality workmanship and responsive customer service. Strongly recommend him for any roof related jobs across Sydney particularly leak detection.
Sal did a great job repairing my pergola roof. He carefully listened to what the issues were and talked me through several options. The work was professionally undertaken and the result is vastly superior to the previous leaky roof. Thank you!
Kangaroof got the repair done within 24 hours and were professional every step of the way. Sal took great care of us.
Recurring themes are honest diagnosis, clear photo/video communication, careful workmanship on leaks and pergolas, and a wait that reviewers consistently say is worth it.
Best for
- Tricky or recurring roof leaks that other trades couldn't solve — leak detection is the standout competency
- Pergola, patio, polycarbonate and skylight roofing where you want options explained before committing
- Homeowners who value an honest, single accountable tradesman over the fastest available quote
Less suited for
- Urgent same-day emergencies or large commercial jobs — this is a one-person operation that can be booked out
- Anyone who needs a big in-house crew mobilised quickly
- Buyers wanting a second independent review platform, since only Google reviews exist for this specific firm
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Given you're often booked out, what's your realistic lead time for a job like mine?
- For my leak, how do you approach detection, and will I get photos or video of the cause and the fix?
- Is the work done by you personally, or would any part be subcontracted?
- What workmanship warranty do you offer, and is it provided in writing?
- Can you confirm your current NSW roofing licence and public liability insurance before we start?
Bottom line
A standout owner-operator for leaks and pergola/polycarbonate roofing whose honesty and workmanship reviewers genuinely rave about — we'd just say expect a wait, and be careful not to confuse him with the unrelated 'Kangaroofing And Guttering' when you're researching online.
