Community❓Common Questions
In 2026, Halifax homeowners typically pay between $10,000 and $18,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof, averaging around $7 to $10 per square foot depending on the pitch and complexity of the roof.
Metal roofing is a premium option in Nova Scotia, generally costing between $20,000 and $36,000 for a standard home, which breaks down to roughly $20 to $36 per square foot including materials and labor.
Tear-off and disposal fees usually account for about 10% of the total project cost, or $800 to $2,000, due to local landfill dumping fees and the labor required to remove multiple layers of old shingles.
While simple shingle replacements may not always require a permit, extensive structural roof replacements in the Halifax Regional Municipality do. Permit fees and administrative costs typically add $200 to $1,000 to the total project.
