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
TLH Roofing struck us as a strong, low-risk pick for what it is: a hands-on owner-operator serving Sydney's Upper North Shore and Hornsby area. The 4.9 across 74 Google reviews is exceptionally consistent, and when we read them the detail stood out — same-day leak fixes, honest quotes that came in well below 'astronomical' competitors, photo-documented diagnosis, and the owner personally replying to every single review (often thanking clients for prompt payment). One reviewer flatly calls him an 'experienced owner operator,' and the whole review body backs that up.
The thing to understand is that this is essentially a one-man (plus his wife) operation. Multiple reviews describe Danny doing the inspection, the work and the follow-up himself, with his wife pitching in on many jobs — 'two pairs of hands,' as one reviewer puts it. That's where the firm's biggest strengths come from (accountability, care 'like he was working on his own home,' willingness to come out on a Saturday or a public holiday) — and also its main limitation: capacity is genuinely finite, and it isn't set up to run several large jobs at once.
Two honest caveats from us. First, sources are thin: Google is the only independent rating, and the testimonials on the firm's own website aren't independent verification. Second, that website is dated and a little rough around the edges — the copy still contains a stray line referencing 'Modern' (a template leftover), and the guarantee is described inconsistently as both five and seven years, while Danny's owner responses on Google consistently say five. None of this undermines the workmanship the reviews describe, but we'd get the guarantee term confirmed in writing rather than trusting the website.

Who you'll actually deal with
Danny — experienced owner-operator (with his wife on the tools)
One name dominates overwhelmingly: Danny, referenced in around 39 reviews as the person who quotes, diagnoses, does the work and follows up — and who personally writes every owner response on Google. A reviewer explicitly describes him as an 'experienced owner operator,' and the review body consistently paints the same picture: responsive (same-day and weekend call-outs recur), honest (repeatedly talking clients out of unnecessary work), and meticulous, with photo-documented before/after explanations. This is about as clear a single-principal signal as we've seen across the Sydney roofers we've reviewed.
Several reviews note that Danny's wife works alongside him on many jobs — 'ably supported by his wife,' 'not afraid to climb ladders' — so it reads as a genuine husband-and-wife two-person operation rather than a solo tradie or a larger crew. One older testimonial on the firm's own website mentions a 'Ray,' but that name doesn't appear anywhere in the Google reviews, so we've treated the business as Danny-led based on where the weight of evidence sits. We've assigned no formal titles, since neither the site nor the reviews spell out a company structure beyond the owner-operator model.
What clients say
In their own words
Danny was professional, fast and did a great job. He responded quickly and was able to fix guttering the same day. Came up with an affordable solution, where other suppliers had priced astronomically with no promises of resolving the issue! Highly recommend
Our gutters were rusty and water was leaking into our house. Danny did an excellent job replacing the gutters and down pipes. He cleans up after each day of work. He completes the work like he was working on his own home. Highly recommended.
10/10 service, price and quality. Completed a tricky job for me in the Hills district. Highly recommend.
Recurring themes: fast (often same-day or weekend) response, honest quoting that undercuts 'astronomical' competitors, thorough photo-documented diagnosis, and careful, tidy work on leaks, tiles and guttering.
Best for
- Upper North Shore and Hornsby homeowners (Wahroonga, Turramurra, Pymble, Pennant Hills area) with a persistent or urgent roof leak
- People who want the owner to personally diagnose, do the work and stand behind it — with honest advice and no upselling to unnecessary re-roofs
- Smaller, precise jobs: cracked tiles, re-pointing, gutter and downpipe replacement, leak tracing, where care and tidiness matter
Less suited for
- Large or multi-property jobs needing several crews at once — this is a two-person, owner-operator business with finite capacity
- Full roof replacements or big restorations, which are only a light part of the review record compared with repairs and leaks
- Buyers who want a second independent rating platform, since Google is the only independent source and the website testimonials aren't verified
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Will Danny personally do the inspection and the work, and roughly what's his current lead time for a job like mine?
- Exactly what does the workmanship guarantee cover, and is it five years or seven? (Please confirm in writing — the website says both.)
- Can you diagnose the leak and give me a fixed written quote with photos before any work starts?
- Are you licensed and insured for this specific work, and can I see the current details?
- If you find additional problems once you're up there (rotted timber, more cracked tiles), how are those priced and approved before you proceed?
Bottom line
We'd happily recommend this husband-and-wife owner-operator for North Shore roof repairs and leaks — the 74-review Google record is near-spotless. Just size your expectations to a two-person outfit, and get the guarantee term confirmed in writing, since the website is inconsistent about it.
