Solutions up on the roof

IF YOU want to add value before selling your home or just want to brighten up a tired old roof, then call Mick Downey, owner and boss at Downey’s Roofing of Monbulk.
“We offer complete roof restoration, roof tiling, roof replacement, new roofs and extensions,” said Mick.
“We can also find and fix leaks, do rebedding and pointing, roof respraying and high-pressure cleaning, which includes demossing. Guttering can be attended to at the same time.
“Don’t wait for the heavy rains to come before you realise your roof and spouts need regular maintenance,” he said.
“We are a locally based business so your inquiries can be dealt with straight away.”
Total roof inspections can be carried out by Mick and his qualified tradesmen who are locals and therefore know the area and the local conditions.
They are able to provide professional advice combined with reliable, on-time service and have a $10 million insurance cover.
Downey’s Roofing offers the security of a 10-year guarantee and is a member of the Housing Industry of Australia (HIA).
Mick started as an apprentice working with crews of tilers and now has more than 13 years of experience after developing his skills in housing estates and private home restorations.
Mick works in conjunction with some of the foremost roofing companies including Monier, Nubrik and Boral.
Mick is also very conscious of environmental issues.
“Products used for cleaning and repainting roofs are environmentally friendly,” said Mick.
“Rainwater can still be safely collected after roof treatments.”
So go outside, have a good look at your roof and you may need to call Downey’s Roofing of Monbulk.
Mick is available all hours on 0418 388 332 or 9752 0486.
