Our story
How AE Restoration Started
Adam and Erwin started AE Restoration after more than a combined 50 years working on Australian roofs, and after seeing enough of how the industry operates to know what they wanted to do differently.
Roofing has a reputation problem, and most of it is earned. Quotes given from the driveway without anyone getting on the roof. Restorations sold to people who needed a repair, and replacements sold to people who needed a restoration. Prices that move once the work starts. Calls that go unreturned when something needs fixing afterwards.
None of that is complicated to avoid. It just requires doing the unglamorous parts properly. Get on the roof and look at it before quoting. Photograph what is there and explain it in plain terms. Put the scope and the price in writing. Then do the work to the standard you would want on your own house, including the details nobody would notice if you skipped them.
That is what AE Restoration was built to do, and it is still how the business runs. Adam and Erwin carry out the work themselves, take the calls themselves, and inspect every roof they quote. There is no sales team, because there is nothing to sell that the roof does not already need.
The people on site
Meet Adam and Erwin
Adam
Adam has spent over 10 years in roofing, coming from a very different line of work. Before the trade, he was a FIFO supervisor in the oil and gas industry, running crews on remote sites where safety, planning, and getting the job done properly were non-negotiable. That background shows up in how he works now.
He holds a Certificate III in Painting and Decorating and works across the full scope of what AE does, from cleaning and repairs through to pointing, painting and exterior work. Like Erwin, he came up through a Gold Coast roof restoration company before the two of them started AE.
Erwin
Erwin has been in roofing for 8 years, and got there by a route almost nobody takes. Before the trade, he was a high-roller bartender and games dealer at the casino, which isn't the usual apprenticeship for a roofer but turns out to be good preparation for dealing with people. He is the one most likely to answer the phone.
He holds a Certificate III in Painting and Decorating and works across everything AE takes on, from roof cleaning and repairs to repointing, painting, and exterior work on gutters, fascia, and weatherboards.
