Metal Roofing Australia
Trading name of METAL ROOFING AUSTRALIA 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
Metal Roofing Australia carries a perfect 5.0 across 90 Google reviews, and when we read through them the praise is unusually consistent: professionalism, on-time completion, clean site work and clear communication come up again and again. That's a strong signal — 90 five-star reviews is real volume, not a handful, and several come from repeat trade customers and builders rather than one-off homeowners. From what we found, this is a firm that reliably delivers what it promises.
The business checks out on the public record, too. It trades as METAL ROOFING AUSTRALIA PTY LTD (ABN 37 647 566 247), an active, GST-registered Australian private company based in western Sydney. That verified footing matters for a roofing job — you're dealing with a registered company, not an unincorporated operator. One thing we'd flag honestly: the company registration dates to February 2021 (about four years), while the firm's own website says it has served clients 'since 2008' and completed over 5,000 projects. The longer history may well be genuine and simply predate this particular company entity, but the register only backs the shorter timeline — so treat the older figures as the firm's own claim rather than something independently confirmed.
The main limitation is corroboration, not quality. The 5.0 rests almost entirely on Google — we couldn't find a ProductReview.com.au listing or any independent second rating source to cross-check against, so you're leaning on one platform's reviews plus the ABR record. The reviews also skew toward full re-roofs and metal/Colorbond replacements (including investment-property and interstate jobs managed end-to-end); there's little evidence about small repairs or emergency call-outs. If you're planning a metal re-roof in the Sydney/NSW area, that's exactly the sweet spot. For an urgent leak fix, we'd check they take that kind of work before relying on them.

⚑ Website history claim vs. business register
The firm's own website says it has served residential clients 'since 2008' and completed '5,000+ projects' with an '80-member' team, but the registered company (METAL ROOFING AUSTRALIA PTY LTD) has only been on the Australian Business Register since February 2021. The earlier history may be genuine and simply predate this company entity, but it isn't independently verifiable from the public record, so we treat the pre-2021 figures as the firm's own claim rather than confirmed fact.

Who you'll actually deal with
John Kennedy — owner-founder
On the firm's own About page, Metal Roofing Australia is described as a family-owned business founded by its CEO, John Kennedy, who the site says immigrated from India in 2001, started in the trade as an apprentice, and now personally oversees that projects meet standard and finish on time. Reviewers back up the named-principal picture: several thank 'John and team' by name, one builder specifically recommends 'John & MRA team', and a Colorbond customer praises 'John['s] services' directly — so the founder isn't just a website figure, he shows up in customers' own accounts of the work.
Beyond the founder it's team-delivered. The About page also lists field staff and supervisors, and reviews consistently refer to 'the team' turning up on time and cleaning up afterward, which suggests the day-to-day install work is done by crews rather than the owner alone. Note that the specific staff names shown on the website's team section read as stock/placeholder-style entries and don't appear in any reviews, so the one name customers actually vouch for is John.
What clients say
In their own words
Excellent experience from start to finish. Clear communication, fair pricing, and outstanding workmanship. The roof was completed on time and to a very high standard. Would definitely use them again.
Metal Roofing Australia are an absolute pleasure to deal with. The team are responsive and knowledgeable. The work is of high quality no faults or issues and I didn't have to wait long for my new roof. I strongly recommend this company
John and his MRA team are one of the top companies that provide complete roof solutions. The team members are available on the phone and always try to help client in the best possible manner. I am builder myself and would highly recommend Joh & MRA team for roofing solutions
Recurring themes: professional, reliable crews who finish on time and clean up, with strong communication and quality metal/Colorbond workmanship.
Best for
- Full metal or Colorbond re-roofs and roof replacements across Sydney and wider NSW
- Homeowners and builders who value clear communication and on-time, tidy completion
- Hands-off or investment-property jobs managed end-to-end (old roof removed, new one installed)
Less suited for
- Urgent leak or storm-damage call-outs — reviews centre on planned re-roofs, not emergencies
- Small patch repairs or one-off maintenance rather than full replacement work
- Buyers who want a second independent rating to cross-check — corroboration beyond Google is thin
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- The company was registered in Feb 2021 — how long has the team actually been installing metal roofs, and can you show recent NSW re-roofs comparable to mine?
- Do you handle small repairs and emergency leak fixes, or is your focus full metal and Colorbond replacements?
- What warranty do you provide on workmanship and materials, and is it in writing before work starts?
- Will John or a named supervisor be my point of contact, and who is the on-site crew leader for my job?
- Can you provide a written, itemised quote with a start and completion timeline, plus proof of licensing and insurance for the work?
Bottom line
A well-reviewed, verified metal-roofing specialist that strikes us as a low-risk choice for a planned Sydney/NSW re-roof — just get the warranty and timeline in writing, and don't lean on the pre-2021 'since 2008' history, which the business register doesn't back up.
