Sydney Wide Roofing Co -
Trading name of Sydney Wide Roofing CO. (business name of Daniel Lewis Quinn) · 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
Sydney Wide Roofing Co sits at 4.0 from 48 reviews, and that middling headline hides a genuinely split picture we think you should understand before you call. The bulk of the reviews — 34 of the 48 — are five stars, and they cluster tightly around fast small-repair work in the Sutherland Shire, with two people repeatedly praised: Dean, the on-site roofer, and Brad, the quoting and communication contact. Several reviewers specifically say Dean assessed their roof honestly and talked them out of a full (expensive) re-roof they thought they needed — for a repair job, that's the kind of trust signal we love to see.
But we won't gloss over the other side of the record, because it's real. The rating breakdown shows 11 one-star reviews alongside those 34 five-stars — a polarisation that pulls the average down to 4.0. The most detailed one-star account describes a repointing/rebedding job carried out by a subcontractor that, the customer says, cracked a tile, caused a leak and water damage, and was then met with denials of responsibility from both the firm and the subcontractor. Whether or not you accept every detail, the subcontractor is the key point for us: it means the quality you get can depend on who is actually sent, not just on Dean.
On verification, we can now give you more comfort than we first could. We've matched the business on the official register: the name 'Sydney Wide Roofing CO.' is held by sole trader Daniel Lewis Quinn, active and GST-registered since May 2020 — and a customer review thanking 'Daniel, Brad and Dean' ties him to the crew you'll meet. That said, the firm's own site still lists no ABN, and its claim of trading 'since 2001' is longer than the 2020 registration supports, so treat the history with a grain of salt. The trailing dash in its Google name and its several region-specific landing-page URLs are minor housekeeping quirks rather than red flags, but we'd still do a little more due diligence here than with a cleanly-verified operator.

Who you'll actually deal with
Brad and Dean — the two names customers deal with
Two people carry almost all the positive reviews. Brad is the customer-facing coordinator most reviewers deal with for quoting and scheduling, and is praised for being responsive and easy to communicate with. Dean is the roofer who attends site, and draws the warmest, most specific praise — for thorough honest assessments, pointing out issues other companies missed, and not upselling unnecessary work. One reviewer also thanks a 'Daniel' in passing. The firm does not publish an About page or team bios, so beyond these first names its structure and ownership are not clearly disclosed.
The important nuance for a homeowner is that not every job is done by Dean. At least one detailed negative review describes a repointing job performed by a subcontractor, with a markedly worse outcome. That is the practical risk of a repair firm that leans on subcontractors for some work: the excellent experience many reviewers describe with Dean is not guaranteed to be the experience you get if a different tradesperson is sent. It is worth asking, before you book, exactly who will carry out your job.
What clients say
In their own words
Thank you so much to Brad and his team for sorting out our roof repairs, and so quickly too. Super friendly, fast and reliable repairs, as well as recommending some proactive work to reduce the risk of further damage to our home. Highly recommend. Thank you guys!
We have tried many other companies for roof repair and restoration but the boys from Sydney Wide are by far the best i have come across. Dean was very professional and able to point out issues that were not seen by the others. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable repair.
Brad, Dean and the team were so pleasant to deal with! Professional, patient, timely and trustworthy. Would recommend to any one looking for a team that knows what they're talking about & does a quality job!
Recurring themes are fast, friendly small-repair work and honest on-site assessments (especially from Dean) — set against a real minority of customers reporting poor workmanship and disputed accountability.
Best for
- Homeowners in the Sutherland Shire wanting a fast, honestly-assessed small roof repair or leak fix
- Anyone who values a roofer who will talk them out of unnecessary work, as several reviewers describe of Dean
- Straightforward patch, repoint and maintenance jobs rather than major re-roofs
Less suited for
- Homeowners who want a single-source guarantee of who does the work — some jobs are subcontracted, with more variable results
- Anyone who needs licence details up front — they're not displayed on the site (we have verified the ABN on the official register)
- Larger or high-stakes jobs where a documented dispute over accountability would be costly
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Can you provide your ABN and current NSW roofing contractor licence in writing?
- Will Dean personally carry out my job, or will it be subcontracted to another tradesperson?
- If subcontracted, who is liable and what insurance covers the work if something goes wrong?
- For a repointing or rebedding job, will you fully remove old mortar rather than doing a partial rebed?
- What warranty do you provide on the specific repair, and is it in writing?
Bottom line
A responsive small-repair firm with a strong core of five-star reviews for Dean's honest, no-upsell assessments — but we have to be straight with you: it's weighed down by a real cluster of one-star complaints and some subcontracted work (we have at least now verified the ABN on the official register). Confirm who's doing your job and get the licence details in writing.
