Our Team

  • Blake Orange – Director

    I’m Blake, proud owner operator of Metalhartt. I have 20 years of experience and a passion for excellence. Alongside Tyler and Ryan, I lead our team with dedication and expertise. Our leadership ensures that every project is completed to the highest standards, making us a trusted name in the roofing industry.

    In my spare time, you’ll find me hiking, hitting the slopes or collecting art.

  • Tyler Orange – Director

    I left school not knowing what I should do like a lot of young people, Mum pushed me towards a building apprenticeship which proved to be a great decision. Following the completion of this I took up an unique opportunity to work on a re-roofing contract on Vomo island in Fiji with my brother Blake and unknown to me our future general manger Ryan who would come on full time 5 years later. Upon our return to NZ in 2016 Metalhartt Roofing was born.

    At work I’m operating behind the scenes pricing jobs, scheduling works and making sure the Metalhartt wheel continues to turn. I get huge satisfaction from providing our clients with a full-service experience from initial contact until job hand over. I’m immensely proud of the team we’ve built over the past 8+ years which is undoubtably a credit to our success.

    In my free time you’ll find me playing sports or at the bach in Whangamata.
