Metal roofing & cladding · Perth

The roof is the design. Perth's custom-home metal roofing and cladding specialist.

McDonald Roofing Company builds in genuine COLORBOND® steel, concealed-fix profiles and clean lines, for the western and coastal suburbs where the roofline is the brief.

The roof is the design

McDonald Roofing isn't a repairs-and-restoration outfit chasing storm leads. We're the contractor architects and custom builders trust with the feature roofline and the cladding that finishes the facade, in genuine COLORBOND® steel, on homes in Dalkeith, Nedlands, Peppermint Grove and beyond.

Profiles & systems

The profile is chosen for the architecture, not the price list.

We run the full range of COLORBOND® steel roofing profiles and concealed-fix cladding systems, and match them across the whole building envelope so the roof and the walls read as one.

  1. 01Roofing

    Kliplok 700

    Concealed-fix sheeting with no exposed fasteners, for seamless, clean sightlines on feature roofs. The profile we reach for on architect-spec Dalkeith and Nedlands jobs.

  2. 02Roofing

    Trimdek

    A crisp, low-rib trapezoidal profile that suits long, contemporary roof planes and pairs cleanly with curved Custom Orb feature roofs.

  3. 03Roofing

    Custom Orb

    Classic corrugated COLORBOND® steel, including curved feature roofs, for a softer line over an entry, verandah or curved facade.

  4. 04Roofing

    Standing Seam

    A raised, interlocking vertical seam for a sharp, fully concealed-fix architectural roof or wall, the premium end of metal roof plumbing.

  5. 05Cladding

    Prominence Nailstrip

    Concealed-fixed vertical cladding that gives a facade a sharp, modern, shadow-line look, wrapping walls, garage doors and feature panels to match the roof.

How it works

From plans to the final flashing.

A straightforward process built around the builder's program, so the roof and cladding land on time and on brief.

    Architect drawings, a builder brief or a photo of the existing roof, whatever you have. We talk through the profile, the COLORBOND® colour and the cladding to match.

  2. Detailed quote

    A clear, itemised quote for the roof and cladding package, with the profiles, flashings and rainwater goods specified, coordinated around the build program.

  3. Clean lines on site

    Our own crew covers the job from roof-cover through to the final flashing, concealed-fix where it matters, finished to the standard the work is known for.

The standard

Clean lines, tight finish, attention to detail right through.

  1. Genuine COLORBOND® steel

    Every roof and cladding job is built in genuine BlueScope COLORBOND® steel, picked from the full modern colour range to suit the architecture.

  2. Trusted by leading builders

    We're brought in to cover projects for some of Perth's leading custom-home builders, including Giorgi, ORMO Build and Distinctive Homes WA.

  3. Specialist, not a sub-out

    A growing, fully-employed crew. We do the roof and the cladding ourselves rather than sub-contracting it out, so the finish stays ours.

  4. Architectural & coastal

    Concealed-fix profiles built for clean lines and Perth's coastal exposure, from Dalkeith and Nedlands to Peppermint Grove and the coast.

Common questions

Do you do architectural wall cladding as well as roofing?

Yes, metal wall cladding is a headline part of what we do, not an afterthought. We run Prominence and standing-seam nailstrip systems and match the cladding to the roof so the whole building envelope reads as one. It's a big part of why custom-home builders bring us in.

What metal roofing profiles do you install?

Concealed-fix Kliplok 700, Trimdek, Custom Orb (including curved feature roofs) and standing-seam, all in genuine COLORBOND® steel. We pick the profile to suit the architecture and the exposure, and finish it with custom flashings, splayed gutter and fascia.

Do you work with custom-home builders?

Constantly. We work alongside some of Perth's leading custom-home builders, handling the roof and cladding package from roof-cover stage through to the final detail, coordinated around the build program.

Which areas of Perth do you cover?

We're based in Wangara and work right across Perth, with a lot of our custom and architectural work in the western and coastal suburbs, Dalkeith, Nedlands, Peppermint Grove, Cottesloe, City Beach and Mosman Park, and we'll travel regionally for the right job.

Can you re-roof an existing home?

Yes, we do full strip-and-replace re-roofs, including tile-to-COLORBOND® steel conversions and larger coastal and two-storey jobs. We keep the home weather-tight through the works and leave it tidy.

Why COLORBOND® steel?

It's lightweight, low-maintenance, holds its colour, suits Perth's coastal conditions and carries a long BlueScope warranty. It comes in the full modern colour range, Monument, Surfmist, Basalt and more, so it works for contemporary and heritage-sympathetic designs alike.
