Assess with purpose
We review visible roof conditions and listen to what you have noticed. Recommendations begin with the problem, the property and practical access.
THE THINKING BEHIND THE WORKGood roofs begin
Good roofs begin
with good care.
A practical approach. An eye for detail. And respect for the property beneath every roof.
WHAT WE STAND FORProtection starts
Protection starts
with understanding.
A roof is more than its most visible surface. It is a connected system that needs to work as one.
Solomons Roofing serves residential and commercial properties in Cape Town and surrounding areas. Our approach starts by understanding the roof and the concerns of the people who use the building.
We believe roofing decisions should be clear: what needs attention, what the proposed work involves and what needs to happen next. From weather resistance to drainage, the details guide the work.
Care in the assessment.
Care in the workmanship.
Care in the workmanship.

The same care.
A scope that fits.
A family home and a commercial property have different access and planning needs. We discuss these with you so that the proposed roofing work fits the building and its use.
Cape conditions also deserve consideration: wind exposure, winter rain, coastal air and drainage all influence how a roof should be cared for.

A CAREFUL ASSESSMENTA CLEAR QUOTATIONA CONSIDERED FINISH
THE WEATHER IS PART OF THE BRIEFCape character.
Cape character.
Cape conditions.
A roof in Cape Town has a particular job to do. We keep that context in mind.
Winter rain, exposed slopes, coastal air and the direction of prevailing wind can all affect where a roof needs attention. A leak at a wall junction calls for a different conversation from weathered sheet fixings or a gutter that overflows during a downpour.
Our approach looks beyond the visible mark on a ceiling. We consider the roof covering, how the adjoining details meet and where water is meant to go. Where access or the condition of the building limits what can be assessed, that uncertainty belongs in the conversation.
The aim is to recommend work that responds to the actual roof, rather than treating every property as if it has the same problem. Suitable materials, sound preparation and attention to drainage help bring the proposed solution together.
Weather protection & roof careKNOW WHAT YOU’RE AGREEING TOA quotation should
A quotation should
bring clarity.
Good communication is part of the work.
It starts before a tile is lifted.
Understand what needs attention.
Tell us what you have noticed and when it occurs. Visible damage, previous repairs and the roof’s accessibility help shape the assessment. We discuss what can be established and what may need a closer look.
See the proposed work clearly.
A useful quotation explains the work being proposed and the relevant materials. Ask about access, preparation, the areas included and any exclusions so the proposed scope makes sense to you.
Agree the practical details.
Before work starts, discuss site access, the people using the building and the arrangements for the work area. Weather and roof conditions may influence timing; changes should be part of an open conversation.
Keep decisions informed.
If an additional issue becomes apparent, it needs to be explained. Any change to the agreed scope should be discussed before additional work is authorised. You should understand why a different step is being proposed.
THERE’S A HOME OR BUSINESS BENEATH ITYour property.
Your property.
Treated thoughtfully.
Roofing work happens around real lives, working days and spaces that matter.
For a home, planning may involve driveway access, garden areas, pets and the parts of the property used by your household. For a business or managed building, it may include tenant communication, delivery routes and an agreed person to contact.
We aim to approach the work area with care, keep materials organised and consider how roofing work affects the spaces below. Tell us about particular access needs or concerns early so they can be included in the arrangements.
A thoughtful finish also means a clear conversation about the work carried out and the roof details that may need monitoring. Care for the property continues beyond the immediate repair through practical maintenance and attention to changes after severe weather.
Let’s discuss your property
BEFORE WE BEGINA few things
A few things
worth knowing.
A straightforward first conversation helps us understand the property and your priorities.
Do I need to know which roofing service to ask for?+
No. Start with what you can see: a ceiling stain, a slipped tile, a noisy sheet, an overflowing gutter or a roof you are considering replacing. Include the suburb and when you first noticed the issue. We can discuss the appropriate next step from there.
Can I enquire for a commercial or managed property?+
Yes. Share the type of building, your role in arranging the work and any access or occupancy requirements. A nominated contact and a clear description of the concerns help keep the assessment and quotation organised.
Will every roof need replacement?+
No. The condition of the covering and its details determines whether repair, restoration or replacement is worth considering. We start with the visible condition and explain the proposed approach. A coating or cosmetic treatment should not conceal a roof that needs more substantial work.
What can I send before an assessment?+
Your suburb, property type, a description of the issue and a roof photograph taken safely from ground level are helpful. Tell us about previous repairs if you know of them. Please do not climb onto the roof or approach damaged or loose materials to gather information.
How do I find out whether you cover my area?+
Use the Locations directory to find your suburb and start an enquiry. We discuss availability and practical travel arrangements before confirming an assessment, including enquiries from nearby Cape Winelands areas.
