About Winter & Son Roofing

Rick Winter owns and runs the business, and he is the person customers name in review after review — quoting the job, working on the roof, and answering questions in plain language. Blair handles many of the incoming calls and gets crews moving; on one Sumner storm call-out he had the team on site within an hour.

That is what family-run means in practice here: the person you speak to on the phone is accountable for the job, from the first site visit to the final invoice. Customers regularly note that the final account matched the original quote.

You talk to the people doing the work, not a call centre. We walk the roof, explain what we find in plain language, and quote from measured scope so you know what you are paying for.

On a re-roof that means checking the timber underneath before new steel goes on. On a leak it means tracing the water properly instead of sealing the wrong spot. On a new build it means lining up with your builder so the roof is not holding up the programme.

We are Licensed Building Practitioners. Re-roofs and new roofs include the sign-off and Record of Work your home needs for insurance and future sales.

We install genuine Colorsteel with a 10-year workmanship guarantee on new roofing work, plus manufacturer cover on materials we supply. Coastal homes get the right coating grade for salt exposure. Open plains sections get fixings matched to wind zone, not a generic spacing chart.

Our yard and crew are in Halswell, so we reach Hornby, Wigram, Lincoln, Prebbleton, and the rest of the city quickly when a roof is open or leaking.

Larger regional projects are quoted case by case. If you are unsure we cover your address, send an enquiry or call and we will tell you straight.
