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
Respected Roofing Services holds a perfect 5.0 across 38 Google reviews, and — more important than the number itself — when we read them, the reviews are detailed, specific and clearly genuine. Multiple homeowners describe full re-roofs finished in about a week, box-gutter and leak repairs that other roofers had failed to solve, and heritage-tile work on 90-to-140-year-old buildings. One reviewer even opens by saying, unprompted, that the review wasn't solicited. When feedback is this granular and this consistent, a flawless average reads as earned rather than inflated.
We also found the firm unusually open about who it is. On its own site, owner Kieran Duffy tells his story — an Irish family roofing background, a move to Australia in 2010, trade qualifications gained here, and a stated 25+ years of experience across 600+ projects, with a self-described specialty in heritage and federation homes. It names a full team (a general manager, a Cert III site supervisor, a roof tiler and a metal roofer) and lists HIA membership. Reviews from an architect and a 140-year-old college back up the heritage-and-architectural positioning rather than contradicting it — a good sign the marketing matches the work.
The caveats we'd give a friend are about scale and paper trail, not quality. This is an owner-led operation where Kieran personally handles every client interaction from first call to sign-off — great for communication, but it's also a key-person dependency, and it means the business suits considered, quote-first jobs (repairs, restorations, full replacements) rather than 24/7 storm emergencies. The company was also only incorporated as a Pty Ltd in mid-2026 despite its long trading history, so check the contracting entity and licensing directly. None of this dents the workmanship evidence — it's just the practical fine print behind an otherwise very strong picture.

Who you'll actually deal with
Kieran Duffy — owner-operator (Director)
Kieran Duffy is named in 25 separate reviews and is described on the firm's own site as the owner who personally handles every client interaction, from the initial phone call to the final sign-off. His stated background is a family roofing business in Ireland, a move to Australia in 2010, and trade qualifications gained locally. Reviewers repeatedly single him out for a systematic, hands-on diagnostic approach — several note he physically climbed into roof voids or lifted tiles to trace leaks before quoting — which explains why difficult-leak jobs feature so heavily in his praise.
There is a real, named team behind him rather than a solo operator: the site lists Michaela Duffy (General Manager, office and scheduling — she's also thanked by name in one review), plus a Cert III site supervisor, a roof tiler and a metal roofer. That gives the firm coverage across tile, slate and metal/Colorbond. The trade-off of the owner-fronted model is straightforward: you get Kieran's direct attention, but the business runs through one principal, so his availability shapes timelines.
What clients say
In their own words
Kieran successfully repaired a roof leak which had previously resisted professional attempts at repair. I was impressed by his systematic approach to the problem.
Fantastic professional job, done on time and with no extras or variations. Kieran delivered exactly what he said he would do; this combined with his attention to detail and pride is his work ensured my new roof is perfect!!! Would 100% recommend.
Experienced, professional and honest. Ticks all the boxes - would not look anywhere else.
The recurring themes are solving stubborn leaks others couldn't, professional and tidy full re-roofs delivered on time and as quoted, and strong, honest communication led personally by the owner.
Best for
- Heritage, federation and older tile/slate homes — the firm explicitly specialises here and reviews repeatedly praise this work
- Tricky, persistent leaks that other roofers have failed to fix, where a methodical diagnostic approach matters
- Homeowners planning a full re-roof or restoration who want one contractor handling tiles, timber, gutters and insulation with direct owner communication
Less suited for
- Urgent 24/7 storm-damage emergencies — this is a considered, quote-first operation rather than a rapid-response call-out service
- Buyers who want a second independent review platform to cross-check, as no confirmed ProductReview or comparable listing was found
- Anyone who specifically wants a large multi-crew firm running several jobs at once, rather than an owner-led team centred on one principal
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Which entity will my contract and invoices be under — is it Respected Roofing Services Pty Ltd (ABN 92 655 137 910) — and will GST be added to the quoted price?
- What is your current NSW roofing/building licence number, and does it cover my specific job (tile, slate, or metal/Colorbond replacement)?
- You mention 600+ projects and heritage specialisation on your site — can you share references or photos from a job similar to mine?
- What workmanship warranty do you provide in writing, and what's covered if a leak reappears after completion?
- Do you carry public liability insurance, and can you provide a certificate of currency before work begins?
Bottom line
Of the Sydney roofers we've reviewed, this is one of the stronger profiles: a perfect 5.0 backed by unusually detailed reviews, a transparent named team, and a clear heritage-roofing specialty. Just confirm licensing, warranty terms and whether GST applies given the very recent company registration, and know this is a considered owner-led firm rather than an emergency call-out service.
