Roofs in Maroochydore: what we see and what we do
Maroochydore is the seat of the Sunshine Coast and the middle of a 63,000-person urban area. The housing stock is as mixed as the coast gets: 1960s and 70s beach houses and walk-up units at Cotton Tree and along Alexandra Parade, 1980s brick-and-tile streets behind Sunshine Plaza, and the new city centre rising on the old airfield. Concrete tile on low-pitched brick homes is still the most common roof by far.
The surf beach and the Maroochy River mouth put the eastern streets in C4 near-coastal under AS 4312, with beachfront homes in C5, and the corrosivity falls off toward Kuluin. Summer storms roll in off the water with hail and gusts. Seaspray Restos restores tile roofs across Maroochydore with a high-pressure clean, tile and valley replacement, ridge re-bedding and re-pointing, and primer plus two membrane coats with a 10-year warranty (terms apply).
Things to watch on Maroochydore roofs
- Salt-rusted valley irons on beach-side 1960s and 70s homes
- Cracked ridge bedding on 1980s brick-and-tile streets
- Porous, faded flat-profile tiles on older unit blocks
