Roof Colours for Dunedin

Choosing a roof colour is a bigger decision than most people think. You're looking at it every day, your neighbours are looking at it, and it needs to last 30+ years through everything Dunedin throws at it. Southerlies, salt air, rain that goes sideways — your colour needs to handle the lot.

We've done hundreds of roofs across Dunedin and we'll tell you straight which colours work where. Coastal property? Heritage villa? New build? Different answer every time.

The colours shown here are as accurate as possible, but we recommend seeing samples in person — what looks good on screen can look different under Dunedin's light, which let's be honest, changes five times a day. Contact us and we'll bring samples to you.
