In this episode of the Trends Property Insight Series, we sit down with Steve Huntingford of Accredited Roofing to shine a light on one of the most overlooked areas of a home: the roof.

With decades of experience in roofing solutions across New Zealand, Steve explains why your roof isn’t just protection overhead, it’s a vital component of property value, long-term durability, and real estate appeal. Steve unpacks the realities of roof maintenance and how simple checks can prevent expensive disasters. From cracked flashings to clogged valleys, he outlines what homeowners, buyers, and sellers need to look for and what they often miss.

Whether it's repainting instead of replacing, or choosing New Zealand-made products tested for our unique climate, Steve’s advice is honest, actionable, and rooted in local expertise. He also dives into the misconceptions around roofing costs, the importance of using licensed professionals, and the surprising ways a roof’s appearance (and function) can impact a property’s first impression. With technology like drones and high-resolution imaging, Accredited Roofing is making it easier than ever to assess, plan, and protect your roof before the damage is done.

Because with the right plan and the right people, your roof can do more than shelter you; it can strengthen the value of your entire property.
