Julian Dirou – Owner
The goal is always to make your new roof or roof repair last as long as physically possible, completed on time and on budget.
ARS is a fully insured and licensed Sydney roofing company that is based at 618 Parramatta Road, Croydon – about as central as you can get to Sydney’s Inner-West. We service most of the Sydney Metropolitan area but in the main, we work in the Inner West and Lower North Shore areas of Sydney.
ARS specialises in changing existing residential roofs (of any type) into new Colorbond or Zincalume roofs. Domestic roof replacement is what we do best, but we also do roof replacements on just about any structure including commercial and industrial buildings such as shops, warehouses and factories.
We also do roof repairs and maintenance on industrial, commercial, or residential roofs.
Whilst ARS has expanded in recent years and now employs a great team of experienced, friendly, and competent roofers who can tackle even the toughest of jobs without a problem, it is still a small company with personal service and Julian is still involved in nearly every job, as he really wants to ensure you get the service you are looking for..

FAQ’s
What is better – Tiles or Colorbond?
“Depends on who you ask!” is one answer, but each has advantages and disadvantages.
– A new Colorbond roof is lighter than tiles, so it is a good option for an old roof where the roof or building structure has begun to sag, crack or twist under the weight of the old, tiled roof.
– A new Colorbond roof will also tend to tie the whole roof together making it stronger.
– A tiled roof is more susceptible to severe hail damage than a metal roof as even new tiles can crack with good size hail, whereas the metal may be dented, but not break.
– A Colorbond roof is much better under trees too, as falling tree branches tend to break tiles, whereas the Colorbond may only be dented.
– Steel roofing is also more versatile. It can be used on any pitch and made into all kinds of shapes.
And arguably, a new Colorbond roof just looks a lot better!
Should I use Zincalume or Colorbond for my roof?
This is really a question of what look you are after as the cost is very similar. Colorbond has Zincalume steel as its base and is then painted with multiple layers using patented methods that have been tried and tested in Australian conditions.
Zincalume is a fantastic product, but Colorbond is far Superior in terms of its durability and look. It comes in 22 different colours. Zincalume has that silver steel roof colour that many people like and up until recently was slightly cheaper, which is why it was used more commonly on commercial buildings with large roofs.
Should I replace or repair my roof?
This is a common question and fundamentally depends on two factors: how bad the existing roof is and your budget. The only way to know how bad the roof really is would be to get an un-biased professional opinion. Some companies only do roof replacements so they will only try and sell you a new roof. Some only do repairs and will tell you there’s a good 20 more years for your roof when actually it really is best to replace it now.
How much does a roof replacement cost?
The cost to replace your roof can vary considerably depending on a whole range a factors such as access, how steep the roof is, whether guttering and insulation is to be done at the same time to name a few. Basically, every roof is different so an experienced estimator will come out, at a time that suits you, and provide a free quote that will tell you exactly how much it will cost to replace your roof.
How much does it cost to repair my roof?
Again, the cost to repair your roof can vary considerably depending on a whole range a of factors such as access, how steep the roof is, what condition it is in, and whether it’s tile or metal. As licenced roofers we are able to advise and complete any repairs that are needed to Australian standards, and in most instances can offer a warranty on these works.
