Queensland is a wonderful place to live. Queenslanders enjoy a subtropical climate, with moderately warm and sometimes even hot weather for most of the year. But due to its size there can be quite a variation of the climate across the state.

It’s easy to think that a roof is always a roof, and that residential and commercial roofs are pretty much the same thing, just on a different scale. But the truth is there are quite a few differences between residential and commercial roofs. In this post, we share some the main differences between these two different types.

Asbestos - we know it’s bad and if it’s in your home or workplace you should get rid of it but by who? What is it really? When should you get rid of it? Why? Where does it go?

Summer has already started and if it the reports anything to go by, this year will be a scorcher. With the temperatures rising, many of us are going to head indoors, preferably with some aircon going on.

In this post, we share some of the factors on how to keep your roof cool.

With Christmas time soon upon us, you’ve probably considered putting up decorations or have at least seen some early outdoor displays in your local area.  Despite requiring some effort and time, Christmas displays are a fun way of embracing the festive season and can be a rewarding endeavour - particularly if your display stops passers-by in their tracks. To ensure your display is the best it can be, we’ve compiled some examples and useful things to consider before getting underway.

Previously, we talked about the different kinds of storms and shared a few tips on how you can prepare for them.  At Roo Roofing, we understand that while getting your home ready for the damage and loss of utilities associated with a storm is the first step to storm preparation, making sure that your family is able to stay healthy and calm during a damaging storm is an essential component of the preparation process. In this post, we wanted to share how to prepare your family for storm season and share some of the emergency contacts you need to know when a storm hits your area.
