    Roofing in Hornsby: What Local Homeowners Need to Know

    Hornsby is the administrative centre of Hornsby Shire and sits on Sydney’s Upper North Shore. The town centre acts as a hub for a mix of freestanding homes, townhouses and higher-density apartment buildings, while extensive bushland surrounds many parts of the wider shire.

    That combination of an established urban centre and surrounding bushland creates varied roofing needs. Older homes can require ongoing tile, gutter, flashing and general maintenance, while properties closer to bushland may have additional vegetation and debris to manage. Bushfire requirements can also be relevant for properties mapped as bushfire-prone. Around the town centre, apartment and strata buildings bring a different set of roofing and maintenance requirements.

    Ivy Roofing has worked across Sydney for over 20 years and services Hornsby and the surrounding area. We work on residential, commercial and strata roofing, allowing us to tailor the approach to the property and roofing system involved.

    Based on 201 reviews
    Our roof was overdue for some maintenance, including pressure cleaning, repointing, and repainting. Ivy Roofing was very professional from the quoting to the completion of the work. In particular, they were very responsive during the quotation especially in response to competitive quotes elsewhere. The communication during the work, professionalism of the team and quality of the work was excellent. Highly recommended!
    Excellent service from inspection to completion. All work completed well within time frame and all areas left clean and tidy with all rubbish taken off site. Thank you, Jan Spurway
    Great experience with Ivy Roofing for a skylight replacement in Kingsgrove. Professional, tidy, and would highly recommend.
    Response from the owner:Hi Anthony, thanks for choosing Ivy Roofing for your skylight replacement in Kingsgrove. It’s great to hear you found our team professional, tidy and reasonably priced. Correct installation is particularly important with skylights, as poorly installed flashings or sealing can lead to water leaks and ongoing problems. We always aim to get these details right the first time. Thanks again for the recommendation, Anthony. We really appreciate it. – Ivy Roofing Team
    Excellent work. Very very reasonably priced, worked with me on the build and explained everything.
    Staff were polite end to end. Highly recommended
    Detailed quote & lovely people to deal with. Ivy helped to fix multiple issues with our roof from broken tiles to re-bedding broken ridges and gutter maintenance - the before & after pictures gave me confidence of the work being done and matched the detailed scope of work in the quote.
    Ivy recently completed a big job for us, 13 townhouses with extensive work required. The whole team were amazing from start to finish. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. All the staff were very patient, respectful and professional. They kept us informed every step of the way and were flexible when the weather made things difficult. Thank you Ivy, we will definitely be using you again in the future!
    Response from the owner:Thanks for choosing Ivy Roofing for such a substantial roofing project across all 13 townhouses. On larger strata projects, communication, planning and working closely with residents and the committee are just as important as the roofing work itself, particularly when weather affects the schedule. It’s great to hear our team kept everyone informed, remained flexible and treated the property and residents with respect throughout the project. We really appreciate the trust you placed in Ivy Roofing and look forward to working with you again. – Ivy Roofing Team
    I contacted Ivy Roofing to get a leak repaired if it was possible ASAP at Quakers Hill. Suzy was able to book it in for the Monday 2 days later for a Make Safe Leak Repair. I had some spare roof tiles & Alex the Tradesman fitted them & removed the leaking whirly bird as well. I am totally appreciative of Ivy Roofing Specialists promptness & kindness & dealing with them was great as they were so helpful. They treat you & your home with respect & address any concerns & questions..
    Cannot thank them enough
    I Highly Recommend then to anyone
    Response from the owner:Hi Anthony, thanks for choosing Ivy Roofing for the urgent roof leak repair at your home in Quakers Hill. We know how stressful an active roof leak can be, so it’s great to hear Suzy was able to organise a Make Safe quickly and Alex could use your spare tiles to complete the repairs and remove the leaking whirly bird. Prompt service, clear communication and treating our customers and their homes with respect are a big part of how we operate. We really appreciate the recommendation, Anthony. – Ivy Roofing Team
    Very satisfied with service repairs and replacements to downpipes and gutters on a two-storey home in Dundas Valley NSW.
    Communication with office staff was good and friendly. Response to request for quotation was timely. Inspection visit was carried out on time with advance notification of technician arrival. Report of necessary and recommended repairs was clear and detailed, pricing reasonable. Service was carried out as agreed. Photos of completed work were provided. All rubbish was removed and site was left clean.
    Response from the owner:Hi Philip, thanks for choosing Ivy Roofing for the gutter and downpipe repairs and replacements at your home in Dundas Valley. It’s great to hear you were happy with the whole process, from the initial communication and detailed roof inspection through to the completed work, photos and clean-up. We put a lot of emphasis on clearly showing our customers what needs attention, what we recommend and why, so they can make an informed decision without unnecessary work. Thanks again for the detailed review and recommendation, Philip. Ivy Roofing Team
    Response from the owner:Hi Stephen, thanks for the 5-star review and for choosing Ivy Roofing. We really appreciate your support and are pleased you had a great experience with our team. Thanks again, Stephen. Ivy Roofing Team
    Great service from IVY Roofing. The team was quick, professional, and easy to communicate with. The price was a little higher than expected, but overall I was happy with the service.
    Response from the owner:Hi Andy, thanks for choosing Ivy Roofing and for the great feedback. We’re glad you found the team professional, responsive and easy to communicate with. While we may not always be the cheapest quote, our pricing reflects the time we put into proper inspections, experienced tradespeople and completing roofing work properly rather than relying on short-term fixes. Great to hear you were happy with the overall service, Andy. We appreciate the recommendation. Ivy Roofing Team
