Roof guide

Roofs in Trinidad: what to know

Common roof types and problems, each with one tip worth knowing. Swipe through.

  • House with a new teal corrugated metal roof under a blue sky
    Tip

    Coloured metal roof

    Factory-coloured sheets keep their colour longer than painted galvanize.

  • Edge of a red longspan metal roof against the sky
    Tip

    Longspan sheets

    One sheet from ridge to gutter means fewer joints and fewer places to leak.

  • Clay tile roof among palm trees
    Tip

    Tile roofs

    Cracked tiles let water in. Replacing single tiles early saves the wood underneath.

  • Roof gutter catching heavy rain
    Tip

    Gutters that keep up

    Enough downpipes for the roof size stops overflow in heavy downpours.

  • Old galvanize roof covered in rust
    Tip

    When rust takes over

    Surface rust can be treated and painted. Rust through the sheet means replacement.

  • Caribbean house roof with a palm tree in front
    Tip

    Keep trees trimmed

    Branches over the roof drop leaves in the gutters and scrape the sheets in wind.

    Protect yourself

    Six rules for hiring a roofer in Trinidad

    Most bad roofing jobs come down to the same few mistakes. Avoid them and you avoid most of the risk.

    Get it in writing

    Sheet type and gauge, screws, flashing, any wood replaced and the total. Not a number on WhatsApp.

    Don't pay it all up front

    A deposit for materials is normal. Pay the rest as the work is done and checked.

    Ask for photos

    Of the problem before and of the fix after, especially what's hidden under the sheets.

    Ask about strapping

    When sheets are off, it's the cheapest time to add hurricane straps and fix rotten wood.

    Check past jobs

    Ask to see photos of finished roofs, or speak to a past customer if you can.

    Test after rain

    Agree the roofer will come back if the leak isn't fixed after the next heavy rain.

    Questions

    Roofing in Trinidad: common questions

    How does Roofing Done Right TT work?

    Call or WhatsApp us with your area and the problem. We pass it to an independent local roofer who covers your part of Trinidad. They inspect, then give you a written quote before any work starts.

    How much does roof repair or a new roof cost in Trinidad?

    It depends on the size of the roof, the sheets, and how much of the structure needs work. A fair price needs an inspection. Get a written quote and compare what's included, not just the total.

    Repair or replace: how do I know?

    If the sheets are mostly solid and leaks come from screws, flashing or a few sheets, repair. If rust has gone through in many places or the wood underneath is rotten, replacement usually costs less in the long run. Try the roof checker above.

    Can a roofer come during the rainy season?

    Yes. Roofers work between showers. In an emergency they can cover the roof with tarpaulin first, then repair when it's dry.

    Do I need approval to replace my roof?

    Replacing a roof like-for-like usually doesn't. Changing the roof shape or adding a floor usually does. Your roofer or Regional Corporation can confirm.

    Which areas of Trinidad do you cover?

    Chaguanas, Port of Spain, San Fernando, Arima, Penal, Diego Martin and the towns around them, including Couva, Cunupia, Marabella, Tunapuna and St. Augustine.

    Do you do small jobs?

    Yes. Replacing screws, fixing one leak, clearing gutters or adding straps are all welcome.
