Brett was incredibly helpful in resolving a leak. Thankfully it turned out to be a small job - he was able to come over very quickly, explained the cause and the resolution, and had it fixed straight away. I highly recommend giving Vivify a call.

Brett was brilliant, so kind and professional!!! I had a different roof tiler booked as had broken/ delaminated roof tiles with rain getting into the roof cavity however they did not appear nor return my calls. At short notice, l called Brett at Vivify Roofing and he informed he would come same afternoon as was on his way home from another job. He was very professional, completed the works efficiently and with care and was so nice. The additional, unexpected job did not perturb him and guess what......... he didn't charge me!!!! Definitely getting him back for the whole roof to be done when we renovate. Thanks so much Brett.

Brett was fantastic and very prompt. In the pouring rain we had a cracked tile and within 30 mins he came over and replaced it. He also gave our roof a good check over. Very efficient and a lovely guy, from Maria and Paul

Couldn't have been happier with our roof restoration, the boys did a fantastic job! Aaron was an excellent communicator, always kept you up to date with how they were going including taking plenty of photos showing the completed job. Very glad we went with you. Cheers

If I could rate Vivify 10 stars I would. Brett and Aaron are the people you want to use if you're having issues with anything to do with your roof. Not only will they give you actual practical advice instead of trying to scare you into spending tens of thousands of dollars, they'll do the work quickly and efficiently leaving your roof looking brand new. Honestly I got about 7 quotes before finding Vivify and they would all give me vastly different stories about what was wrong and what it was going to take to fix it. The prices ranged from $5k to $45k but it wasn't until I spoke with Brett that I got a solid answer and he actually re-assured us that there wasn't actually too much wrong (!) He even fixed where water was leaking in without me spending a single dollar or agreeing to any quote - where others had wanted to charge $1500 just for that. It's really rare to find such genuine, excellent people in this industry, sadly, maybe because there's so much money to be had from scaring people into having roof replacements that they don't really need. We're so happy with the work that was done and so relieved that we didn't need to spend the huge amounts others had been quoting because the situation wasn't that bad.

There were water leak stains on the ceiling. A previous plumber charged an astronomical amount just to investigate but couldn't work out where the potential source of leak came from. Spoke to Brett on Friday, Came out Monday morning as promised. Investigated AND fixed the leak in less than half hour. THANKS BRETT!!

Had Brett call out earlier to inspect a leak. After numerous others had failed to diagnose the issue, it was nice to finally get some closure! Brett is professional and very patient. He left no stone unturned! Thanks again.

Highly recommend the company. Brett and his team are real professionals and nice guys too! I had a series of cracks on my roof tiles caused by installation of solar panels. They immediately came for inspection after I asked for their service and did a great job fixing them. I am completely happy with their quality of work and workmanship! Highly recommend the company and will definitely go to them for any future roof jobs.

Thank you so much to Brett and the Vivify team. With much frustration after a previous roofing company who claims to be number one in Melbourne completely ruined our roof and caused many months of sub-par patch-up jobs that simply didn't work, Brett and his team found the root cause of our ongoing roof leaks, (which stems back to poor workmanship when our house was built) and finally corrected them. These guys really know their way around a roof, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any in need of a roof repair or restoration.

They are very honest and efficient. I had a leaking garage roof caused by leaves blocking my gutter. The team arrived at my place and cleaned the gutter and recommended me to cut off branches. I'm very satisfied with the service and their professionalism.

What a brilliant company! If I could give them 10 stars I would. Great service. Great work. Great guys. Don't bother checking out anyone else - you won't do better.

For those looking for honest and trustworthy roofing specialists, I can’t recommend Brett and the team at Vivify enough. Twice I have had issues with tree branches cracking tiles. On both occasions they were extremely quick to respond and professional. 5 stars to the team. Thanks again.

The team at Vivify are GOLD. Not only were they a delight to have on site but they were efficient, hard working & perfectionists! And the clean up was spotless after they'd finished the job. If you want the job done right the 1st time then look no further.The roof looks fantastic & I can't recommend Luke & Brett enough.

We had Vivify replace our roof with Colourbond and install new gutters and we couldn't have been happier with the results. They did what they said they'd do, and showed excellent attention to detail. Their workers were courteous and conscientious. We are thrilled with the final result.

I live in NSW and stumbled across the Vivify Roofing site looking for information about painting terracotta roof tiles. I reached out for a quote not checking first where the company was based. Despite being in Melbourne (and obviously unable to help me in Sydney) Brett called me direct to offer his wealth of knowledge and advice. He was able to review my property while chatting over the phone to ‘see’ what we were talking about! Brett provided some clear and sound advice on what I should consider and, more importantly, what I should be looking for from anyone quoting on the job here in Sydney. Brett talked a lot of sense and offered some great advice. It was reassuring to talk to someone who knew their stuff with absolutely no vested interest; other than to provide an outstanding customer service – to someone who couldn’t technically even be his customer! Brett followed up by sending me the contact details of companies I could follow up with here in Sydney. Amazing service. Thanks Brett. If that’s any indication of what they’re like on the ground (or on the roof!), then don’t think twice. You’ve found the right people to take care of your job!

Totally professional from start to finish-: excellent attention to detail, efficient, thorough, on-time, knowledgeable, experienced and good value for $. A great team to deal with too, communicating with us through every stage of the process. Such a pleasure to deal with a business that delivers what it promises and takes pride in its work!

Thoroughly professional approach to the job - explained all aspects of what they were doing. Courteous and thoughtful as they moved from inside the house and onto the roof and back again throughout the process. Highly recommended.

Brett, Luke and the team were spectacular to deal with from start to finish. Our roof looks spectacular! i have no doubt that it will also last the test of time. Advice throughout the project was appreciated and we ended up with a far superior result with thanks to the expertise at Vivify Roofing. Top job guys - thank you - i know that this was not an easy roof but you made the process easy Highly recommended

We were looking at an expensive quote for a roof leak job, then Brett came out in the cold and wet and attended to the problem straight away. Issue solved. Thank you for your workmanship, professionalism, attention to detail and explanation of the issue at hand. Highly recommend!

Spoke to Brett over phone about a potential roof leak which might be causing mold on the carpet. In less than 40 mins he was at my house ready to fix the issue. Soon he figured out that the gutter drain pipe is clogged and took no time to clear the blockage. He also looked at the other gutter drain pipe and inspected the roof for any potential tile crack. Gave lot of honest feedback about the roof health in general and promised me to send a no obligation quote to accomplish some selected roof work which I requested. The best part is he didn't charge any money because he thought this wasn't a decent size job. Well, it was for me because I was sick of the mold for over a month. I insisted to pay for the visit for couple of times but Brett was firm he won't. This is the first time I met Brett and I think now I know whom to call if I hit roof related issues. I wish I could rate Brett and his team more than a 5 star rating. Thanks so much Mate !!

Luke, Brett and the entire Vivify team are thorough and skilled roofing professionals. From a detailed accurate quote which required no variations, through to their manner and conduct for the duration of the project, the experience was first class. Knowledgeable and experienced, their recommendations and work have produced an excellent result for an entire roof replacement. Highly recommended.

Is there a 6 star rating? Had a leaking roof after last nights heavy rain. Contacted Vivify in the morning. Brett called me back before 9, was at my property and had the leak fixed by midday! Price was fantastic too.

Brett was very honest and transparent in his information on types of roofing. He took the time to explain the full costs of colorbond roofing. A refreshing perspective!

We are so glad we found Brett from Vivify Roofing. Originally we engaged a very well known Melbourne roofing company to repaint our Colorbond roof and they made a complete mess of it. The roof was not prepped properly, streaks and defects were highly visible from the street. We were worried the whole roof would need a replacement. I don’t know how they did it, but Brett and Aaron fixed and repainted the whole roof and it looks AMAZING! You have saved my home. Anyone who needs a Colorbond roof painted go straight to Vivify.

Brett and his mate were quick to attend for a house roof leak emergency, fixed the problem without hassles and checked out the rest of the roof for other problems without being asked. Thanks, Brett!

We had a residential roof renovation (tiles, valleys, pointing, cleaning) plus install of a new skylight lid. Brett and the team were attentive to all my questions to start with and then completed the job on time and the roof looks great. Most importantly they were a pleasure to have in and around our home. Thanks Vivify.

After several other companies failed to turn up for our quote it was refreshing when Brett from Vivify called withing 2 hours of making an enquiry. Not only was the customer service prompt but the quality of the teams team was brilliant and I still can't believe how great our roof looks. My father is a builder and he could not find a single fault in their work. I highly recommend Brett to anyone looking for a roof restoration in Melbourne.

Just had brett and Aaron from vivify do a resto on my terracotta roof. They go above and beyond they cleaned up after them self's roof looks amazing. I highly recommend this company to restore roofs very easy to deal with and have lots of great ideas.

Tim Phillips

07:59 09 Aug 19

What an incredible job! Brett and his team were extremely professional, honest and reliable. I received several quotes from other companies and but Vivify's pricing was spot on. The roof restoration has transformed my house entirely, I really cannot fault Vivify and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for value for money and high quality work. Stop looking, just go with Vivify - you wont regret it.

Peter Ryan

We did a full roof replacement and couldn’t be happier with the level of service, build quality and communication through the process provided by Luke and team. Would certainly recommend Vivify for any roofing works.

Dominic Galati

I highly recommend Vivify. Brett and crew did a great job restoring my terracotta roof. After cleaning and repointing/rebedding the roof looks new again. Brett also saved me money by arranging for the safety rails to remain in place for the installation of my solar panels. And he fitted a new finial and chimney cowl at no extra cost. Brett even came back promptly to fix some damage done by the solar installers, again free of charge. Great work and great service.

Rosemary Vernon

Very happy with Brett and his team. The roof looks amazing, and has definitely added value. The guys were polite, hard working, very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommended.

Anne Shepard

Brett came around promptly and spent time identifying the issues we had with water damage. He was able to replace screws and tighten others wherever necessary. He is agile and capable taking care to check all problem areas on our very steep roof and clean up well. He is a very professional roofing plumber and I was extremely happy with the job. He also made suggestions to replace other spouting and down pipes before further damage occurs. I would recommend his work to anyone needing roofing work done.

Rob Charles

We could not be happier with the results or service from Vivify Roofing. We recently had our tiles cleaned and clear coated and the results are amazing. Honestly the roof looks brand new.

00:07 12 Jan 19

Extremely happy with the roof restoration on my Melbourne investment property. The guys showed up on time, kept my yard free from mess and the roof looks excellent now. Big thanks to the Vivify team.

Used Brett and his team to help fix a number of long known issues with my roof. He and his team were prompt, quoted quickly and fairly and also made sure I knew what was included, and if any issues occurred what additional it would cost - before he started. When replacing titles he was thoughtful about which ones he should replace and where on the roof so I did not have odd tiles (My colour no longer available - plus with 15 years of wear) He turned up when he said he would, polite and got the job done quickly. Now the roof is ready for solar! Have already recommended him to others and would get him back in a heartbeat.

Nick Gribble

Brett, Luke and the team at Vivify roofing just did a big roof restoration at our old apartment building in Hawthorn. We could not be happier with the quality of the job. They picked up on a lot more things than the other contractors that came in to quote the job. They came in and got the job done quickly and always kept us informed. The job site was always kept clean and safe. Would highly recommend the services of Vivify roofing and would use them again.

Kate Tanner

04:28 14 Sep 18

Highly recommend going with Vivify. One stop, trusty worthy, knowledgeable and professional team who delivered a high quality service and results! We had our gutters and fascias replaced and tiled roof restored. The team went above and beyond to ensure we were completely happy. Thank you, well worth the investment.

RON BROWN

09:47 03 May 18

We could not be more satisfied with the professional manner in which Vivify carried out the work in replacing our roof. From the initial discussion regarding the work to the completion of the project Luke and his team keep us fully informed. His suggestion to upgrade to 10 cm insulation has improved our interior comfort. The work site was always cleaned at the conclusion of each day by his polite,considerate workers. This was appreciated.

Kris Bell

00:14 18 Apr 18

A fantastic experience from initial consultation with Kevin to the finished job (took less than two days). Brett and his team were professional throughout, worked without stopping for lunch, replaced approximately 100 tiles and even fixed an item beyond the scope of the quote for free. The house looks great and more importantly is now guaranteed watertight for 10 years! Many thanks.

Effie Salmas

Thank you so much to Brett and his A team for a tradie experience that was professional and HONEST. My roof looks great. I love the pride you take in your work. You know your stuff and stand by your work. The quality shows. I also appreciate that my yard is tidier now than ever before. The entire experience was brilliant. Your honesty, dilligence and pride in your work is what makes you guys stand out. DON'T CHANGE!
