01 — In his own words
A roofer first. A founder second.
our team's bio is short because his work isn't. Twenty years of Zürich weather, period properties, modern estates, problem leaks, and full re-roofs.
I'm Dachdecker Zürich Team, founder of Dachdecker Zürich & Construction based in Zürich. I've been working in roofing and construction for over 20 years, completing hundreds of projects across Zürich and surrounding counties.
My main focus is roof repairs and full roof replacements, but my experience goes far beyond just roofing. Over the years, I've built up substantial knowledge in general building and renovations, which allows me to properly understand how a roof integrates with the overall structure of a property. This means I don't just treat surface issues — I identify the root cause and deliver long-term, practical solutions.
I've worked on a wide range of properties, from older homes requiring careful restoration to more modern builds needing upgrades or corrective work. I specialise in slate and tile roofing, insulation improvements, and resolving ongoing issues such as leaks, failed membranes, and poor previous workmanship.
My approach is straightforward — do the job properly, use the right materials, and don't cut corners. I believe in giving honest advice and carrying out work to a standard that lasts, not just a quick fix that creates bigger problems down the line.
Dachdecker Zürich & Construction is fully insured, and I take pride in maintaining a high level of workmanship and reliability on every project I take on.
02 — Specialisations
What our team personally takes on.
Hands-on for every full re-roof, complex chimney work and any job where the previous diagnosis has gone wrong. Dachdecker Zürich has trained crews for the rest, but our team runs the inspection and signs off the scope.
Full roof replacements
Slate, concrete tile and modern systems with breathable membrane, new battens, fresh leadwork and a 20-year guarantee in writing.
Slate & tile roofing
Period property restoration, like-for-like Welsh and Spanish slate work, conservation-area-aware replacements.
Insulation improvements
Rafter-level upgrades during re-roofs and standalone attic upgrades coordinated with SEAI grant timing.
Difficult leaks
Long-standing leaks, failed membranes, multiple-contractor jobs and corrective work where previous repairs created new problems.
General building integration
Roof work that respects how the rest of the building behaves — not just surface fixes that ignore the structure underneath.
03 — Working principles
"Do the job properly. Don't cut corners."
Four principles that decide every quote, every site, every handover.
PRINCIPLE 01
Do the job properly
Use the right materials. Don't cut corners. The cheapest job is rarely the best value over 10–20 years.
PRINCIPLE 02
Identify the root cause
Most leaks aren't where the drip is. Find what's actually failing — fix that, not just the symptom.
PRINCIPLE 03
Honest advice
If repair makes more sense than replacement, we say so. If a problem is going to come back, we explain why.
PRINCIPLE 04
Standards that last
Every project is built to be sound 15–20 years from now, not just to pass a final inspection.
