"Shingle Roofers were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They found damage on my roof I didn't even know existed, helped me lodge an insurance claim, and had everything fixed within a week. Couldn't be happier!"
Our Story & Mission
About Shingle Roofers | Who We Are and How We Work
We're a team of passionate, licensed roofing professionals dedicated to keeping Kiwi homes safe, dry, and protected. Learn what drives us, how we work, and why homeowners across New Zealand choose Shingle Roofers.
Shingle Roofers is a New Zealand-owned and operated roofing company providing expert roofing services to homeowners across Auckland, Northland, Tauranga, Waikato, and Christchurch. Operating fully under the Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) system and in compliance with the NZ Building Code, our team specialises in roof repair, roof installation, roof replacement, roof painting, roof inspection, asbestos removal, asbestos encapsulation, gutter cleaning, and gutter replacement. We are also recognised specialists in insurance claim guidance, helping New Zealand homeowners access the EQCover and private insurance entitlements they deserve when their roofs sustain weather-related damage.
Our Mission
Keeping Kiwi Homes Safe and Sound
At Shingle Roofers, our mission is straightforward: to deliver roofing services that New Zealand homeowners can genuinely rely on. That means being honest about what your roof needs and what it doesn't. It means arriving on time, doing the work properly, and leaving your property cleaner than we found it. It means being the kind of business you'd confidently recommend to a neighbour, because we hold ourselves to the same standards we'd want for our own families.
We believe that a great roof is one of the most important investments a homeowner can make in their property. New Zealand's climate is unforgiving from the fierce northerlies of Northland to the heavy snowfalls of the Canterbury Plains. Every region we serve has its own roofing challenges, and we bring local knowledge to every job. Whether you need an urgent repair in East Auckland after a storm, a full metal roof replacement in Tauranga, or safe asbestos encapsulation on an older Waikato property, our team is equipped, trained, and ready to deliver an exceptional result you can count on for years to come.

What We Stand For
The Four Pillars of Shingle Roofers
Every decision we make, every project we take on, is guided by four core commitments to our customers.
Expertise
Our team holds full LBP certification and undergoes ongoing training to stay ahead of changes to the NZ Building Code, new roofing materials, and best-practice installation techniques. When you hire Shingle Roofers, you're hiring some of the most qualified roofing professionals in New Zealand.
Quality
We source only high-quality roofing materials suited to New Zealand's climate, from premium steel and aluminium systems to proven tile and membrane products. Every job is inspected on completion to ensure it meets our own exacting standards not just the minimum requirements.
Customer Service
From your first phone call to the final walkthrough, we prioritise clear communication, punctuality, and genuine care for your property and your experience. We return calls, show up when we say we will, and treat your home with the same respect we'd want shown to our own.
Transparency
No hidden fees. No surprise extras. We provide detailed written quotes before any work begins and keep you informed of any changes throughout the project. We believe transparency builds trust, and trust is the foundation of every long-term relationship with our customers.
Where We Work
Roofing Specialists Across 5 New Zealand Regions
Shingle Roofers has built a strong presence across five key regions of New Zealand, bringing the same high standard of workmanship and customer service to every community we serve. Our regional knowledge means we understand the specific roofing challenges each climate and environment presents and we plan and execute every project accordingly.
-
Auckland including North, East, West, and South Auckland. New Zealand's largest city, where humidity, coastal salt air, and heavy annual rainfall demand robust, well-maintained roofs.
-
Northland subtropical climate with high UV exposure and occasional cyclonic weather events requiring resilient roofing systems and regular maintenance.
-
Tauranga a fast-growing coastal city where new builds and renovations drive consistent demand for quality roofing installation and replacement services.
-
Waikato a diverse region with rural and urban properties, many of which are older homes that benefit from our asbestos removal and replacement expertise.
-
Christchurch our South Island base, where the combination of Alpine weather, post-earthquake rebuild activity, and a strong property market keeps our team busy year-round.
Insurance Expertise
We Know the NZ Insurance System and We Use That Knowledge for You
One of the things that sets Shingle Roofers apart from many other New Zealand roofing companies is our deep expertise in the insurance claims process. Over the years we've helped hundreds of homeowners across our service regions successfully navigate the sometimes confusing world of roofing insurance whether that's a claim through EQCover (Earthquake Commission) following a natural event, or a private insurer claim for storm or weather damage.
Our process is simple: we start with a thorough, free roof inspection and produce a detailed damage report with photographic evidence. We then advise you clearly and honestly on whether your damage is likely to be covered, what your policy may entitle you to, and how to lodge your claim most effectively. Where required, we can liaise directly with your insurer or loss adjuster, providing the technical documentation they need to assess your claim fairly.
We work equally comfortably with EQCover claims for earthquake or natural disaster damage, and with major private insurers for weather-related events such as storms, hail, and fallen trees. Our goal is always the same: to ensure that you receive the full benefit of the cover you've been paying for and that your roof is restored to a safe, compliant standard as efficiently as possible. When it comes to insurance guidance, we speak the language of both roofers and insurers, and we put that knowledge firmly in your corner.
