Meet The Team
Roofing Works Services is owned and operated by Josh Barnes and Grant Moloney, who pride themselves in excellence and attention to detail, providing reliable roofing solutions with the highest standards of craftsmanship and professionalism.
​
Josh and Grant are both qualified roofers and Licensed Building Practitioners. They get great satisfaction in giving back to the trade and do this by mentoring apprentices and helping them become, not only qualified roofers, but high-quality tradesmen that don't have a 'that'll do' attitude, but rather have immense pride in their workmanship.
​
The team has developed a strong camaraderie from years of working together and understands the importance of balancing hard work with some good banter, making their work days enjoyable and rewarding.
