Common Questions

According to the City of Oshawa's 2026 guidelines, a building permit is not required for the replacement of roof shingles or non-combustible siding, provided the work is non-structural. However, structural repairs or changes to the roofline still require a permit, which typically costs a minimum of $90 plus a state surcharge.

For a standard 2,000 sq ft home in the Oshawa/GTA area, homeowners are seeing 2026 quotes ranging from $8,500 to $14,000 for architectural asphalt shingles. Premium materials like metal or slate can push this cost between $23,000 and $55,000.

Roofing costs in Ontario have seen a year-over-year increase of approximately 8% to 12% in 2026. This is driven primarily by a 10-15% rise in labor rates to retain skilled trades and a 6-8% increase in petroleum-based material costs for asphalt shingles.

In 2026, the Region of Durham's waste management facilities charge approximately $109 per metric tonne for regular waste, though specialized Construction and Demolition (C&D) rates for contractors may be lower, around $45 per metric tonne at specific private facilities.
