Roofing in Erina: brick-and-tile heartland hitting restoration age
Erina and Erina Heights were built in the brick-and-tile boom — solid family homes whose concrete tile roofs are now 30–50 years old. Sheltered in the valley, they escape the worst salt, but the trade-off is trees: leaf litter loading valleys and gutters, and moss and lichen thriving on shaded southern faces. This is prime restoration country — most Erina roofs we inspect need cleaning, repointing and recoating rather than replacement, and they come up looking new. It's also gutter-guard country, for obvious leafy reasons.
