Roof prices in 2026 — what's reasonable to pay, and what's a rip-off

What should Australian homeowners actually pay for common roofing jobs in 2026? This episode walks through real-world price ranges for everything from single leak repairs and ridge-cap re-bedding through to gutter replacement, tile-to-Colorbond conversions and full re-roofs — plus the six factors that push quotes up and the three that pull them down.

In this episode:

• Typical 2026 price bands for single leak repairs through to full re-roofs
• Why ridge-cap re-bedding is the highest-ROI preventive job on a tile roof
• What gutter and fascia replacement actually costs — and why they're done together
• Tile-to-Colorbond conversion: the $20,000–$45,000 reality plus permit fees
• Six factors that push roofing quotes up — and three that pull them down
• Why getting at least two written quotes for any job over $5,000 is non-negotiable
