My Homes Roofing Expert delivers specialist roofing services across Howick, Pakuranga, Bucklands Beach, Half Moon Bay, Mellons Bay and Eastern Beach. We are a registered building company, fully insured, and carry specific expertise in two aspects unique to this part of East Auckland: coastal salt-air roofing and heritage clay tile restoration on Howick Village's older character homes.
Howick presents roofing challenges you won't find in most other parts of Auckland. The historic village precinct contains some of the city's oldest housing stock — 1940s–1960s brick homes and bungalows with clay or concrete tile roofs needing careful specialist care. At the same time, waterfront properties from Bucklands Beach to Half Moon Bay face significant salt-air corrosion from their exposure to the Tāmaki Estuary and Hauraki Gulf. Our team is experienced in both ends of this spectrum — from our East Auckland roof repair service to full heritage re-roofing.
Local insight: Howick's historic village precinct contains some of the oldest housing stock on Auckland's eastern coast, with many 1940s–1960s brick-and-tile and weatherboard homes requiring specialist heritage-aware roofing care rather than wholesale replacement.
Roof treatment and maintenance keeps a sound roof sound. It covers moss and lichen treatment, cleaning, ridge re-pointing, coating and small tile repairs. Many Howick and Pakuranga homes have clay or concrete tile roofs, so much of this work is tile work.
Near the Tāmaki Estuary and the eastern beaches, salt spray adds one more job. Fixings and flashings need checking for corrosion at every visit.
Treatment does not replace repair. Cracked tiles and loose ridges are fixed first. Then the roof is treated, sealed with a coating, or both.
| Service | Typical Auckland price | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| Moss and lichen treatment | $250–$1,400 + GST | Biocide applied and left to work, dead growth removed, then a preventative protective coating |
| Soft-wash roof clean | $300–$1,400 + GST | Removes moss, lichen, algae and salt deposits from the roof surface |
| Ridge re-pointing and tile roof repair | $350–$65,000 + GST | Cracked tiles replaced, ridges re-bedded and re-pointed; a full tile re-roof sits at the top of the range |
| Roof coating (repaint) | $1,500–$5,000 + GST | Wash, moss treatment, primer and two top coats — this is what seals a weathered tile surface |
| Full roof restoration | $3,500–$12,000 + GST | Clean, moss treatment, repairs, re-pointing and two coats in one job |
| Leak repair | $150–$1,800 + GST | Finding the leak source and fixing the flashing, tile or valley behind it |
Howick Village's heritage homes are some of the most distinctive in East Auckland, and they deserve roofers who understand what they're working on. Clay tile bedding and ridge re-pointing on a 1950s bungalow is very different to painting a 2008 concrete tile roof in Botany — it requires understanding of original construction, appropriate flexible mortars, compatible tile repair materials, and a respect for the building's heritage character. We bring this knowledge to every Howick heritage project.
For coastal properties from Pakuranga through Bucklands Beach to Half Moon Bay and Eastern Beach, we match the Colorsteel grade to how close the home is to the sea (Endura or Maxx) for any new metal roofing, use stainless or hot-dipped galvanised fixings rather than standard zinc-plated screws, and apply additional corrosion-inhibiting primer on all cut-metal edges and flashings. These are not optional extras for us — they are standard practice for coastal Tāmaki Estuary-adjacent properties.
Pakuranga's large 1970s housing stock is the third challenge: these homes are now 45–55 years old, and many have concrete tile or Decramastic roofing well beyond its service life. We carry out thorough on-site assessments and provide an honest report on whether restoration or complete East Auckland re-roofing makes more financial sense — with no pressure toward the more expensive option. For moss and surface build-up, see our East Auckland roof cleaning service.
Every Auckland suburb has its own roofing challenges. These are the issues we often see on Howick roofs. Spotting them early saves Howick homeowners money.

Common questions from Howick homeowners searching for a roofer near them.
Yes — we serve Howick, Pakuranga, Bucklands Beach, Half Moon Bay, Mellons Bay, Eastern Beach and Botany Downs. Coastal properties on the Tāmaki Estuary and the eastern beaches are no problem — we use coastal-grade materials and fixings where required.
Absolutely — Howick Village has a high concentration of clay tile roofs on 1940s–1960s bungalows and brick homes. These roofs are excellent when properly maintained. We carry out re-bedding, ridge re-pointing, crack repair and careful biocide cleaning that extends a quality clay tile roof by 20+ years without replacement.
Homes close to the Tāmaki Estuary or the eastern beaches get salt spray, which wears metal roofs, fixings and coatings out sooner than inland. We check fixings and flashings at every inspection, match the Colorsteel grade to how close the home is to the sea (Endura or Maxx), and use stainless or coastal-rated fixings. Coastal metal roofs usually need repainting sooner than inland ones.
Roof painting for a standard 3–4 bedroom Howick home (130–180m²) typically ranges from $1,500–$5,000 + GST including surface preparation, moss treatment and two-coat premium application. Coastal properties may cost slightly more due to extra preparation and coastal-grade primer requirements.
