How Much Does A New Roof Cost?

The cost of a roof replacement in Southwestern Ontario depends on two main factors: labor and materials. 

Larger roofs require more materials and labor than smaller roofs. Higher quality shingles, underlayments, flashing, ventilation, and accessories also increase overall cost - but they also significantly improve durability, appearance, and warranty coverage.

​​

Because no two roofs are exactly the same, pricing varies based on the home, the roof design, and the homeowner's goals.

Our Roofing Systems Designed for Every Budget

We offer multiple roofing systems from trusted manufacturers, all fully warrantied and professionally installed. Our roof systems are designed to suit a wide range of budgets, from value-focused replacements to the highest quality shingle roof system available.

Every roof is also customizable. If you prefer specific shingle brands, flashing materials, ventilation types, or valley styles, we'll design the system around your preferences. 

There are too many variables to give an accurate quote without understanding:

  • Understanding your goals and budget

  • Inspecting the existing roof

  • Identifying areas that may require repair or replacement

  • Accurately measuring the roof

 

That said, below are some ranges to give homeowners a realistic expectation of roof replacement costs in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and Brantford.

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Roof Replacement?

The final cost of your roof replacement depends on several job-specific factors, including: 

  • Roof pitch - Steeper roofs significantly increase time to setup safety system and to tear off and install your roof

  • Roof complexity - More roof panes, valleys, dormers, and penetrations increase workload substantially

  • Access to the roof - Roofs with challenging access require more labor to load materials and unload debris

  • Tear-off difficulty - If your roof has multiple layers of shingles or stuck underlayment, tear off is more challenging

  • Roof height - Multi story homes take longer to complete

  • Sheathing repairs - If sheathing is rotten or soft, removal and replacement will increase final cost.

These factors increase labor time and overall project complexity. In most cases roof replacement costs are in the low to middle end of our price ranges

We begin with a starter shingle strip, followed by shingles installed across the roof with ridge caps at the peak.

Replace Deck/Sheathing & Add Drip Edge 

Any areas of damaged wooden deck (sheathing) are replaced and drip edge is installed along the edges. 

Ventilation and Flashing

Flashing is installed around any chimneys, skylights, or siding, and new ventilation is added to aerate your attic.

Ice and water shield is applied to all roof eaves and valleys, and underlayment is added to higher sections of the roof.

We thoroughly clean and provide a detailed inspection to ensure your roof meets our high standards and your satisfaction.
