For a typical 1,000 to 1,200 sq. ft. bungalow in Hamilton, homeowners can expect to pay between $7,000 and $10,500 for a full asphalt shingle replacement in 2026.
Metal roofs in Hamilton average approximately $18,799, which is roughly double the cost of premium architectural asphalt shingles ($9,000 - $12,000) but offers a significantly longer lifespan of 50+ years.
Prices have risen by an estimated 4.2% year-over-year, driven by a 20-33% spike in metal material costs due to tariffs and labor shortages pushing hourly rates for skilled roofers to between $45 and $90.
In Hamilton, a building permit is generally not required for shingle-for-shingle replacements. However, if structural repairs are needed or if switching to a significantly heavier material like clay tile, a permit costing $200 to $500 is typically required.
