What a new roof costs in Ladysmith

Asphalt shingle roofing costs

We install 3-tab shingles around $4 per square foot, architectural around $6, and premium shingles around $9, for a $4 to $9 per square foot total range. On a 2,000 square foot roof, that works out to roughly $8,000 to $18,000 installed. Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15 to 30 years.

Metal roofing costs

We install metal roofing from $8 to $30 per square foot installed, with projects averaging ~$19 per square foot. On a 2,000 square foot roof, that works out to roughly $16,000 to $60,000 installed. Metal roofing typically lasts 40 to 70 years, well beyond the lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof.

What drives the price

We price jobs based on material, roof size, slope, number of planes and site access. Steeper rooflines with multiple valleys and dormers require more labour time and material cutting. Second storeys, tight side yards, and limited space for disposal bins increase material handling time on site. We assess deck condition once we tear off your old roofing material. Our quote states exact sheathing replacement costs per sheet upfront so you know the price if we find soft spots.

Roof complexity, steep pitches, and difficult site access add handling time to a job. Extra valleys, dormers, and multiple roof planes require more cutting, additional underlayment, and custom flashing details. Limited driveway space for disposal bins also increases staging time.

Repair pricing

We quote repair work separately from full roof replacement. What sets the price is how much of the roof has to come up to reach the problem. We handle quick repairs for lifted shingles, while long-term leaks require re-sheeting before new materials go down. We quote a repair once we've been on the roof, not from a description over the phone.
