Common Questions

For a typical 1,500 sq ft home, replacement with standard asphalt shingles in 2026 costs between $7,500 and $13,500 CAD, while premium architectural shingles can push the price to $18,000+.

The City of Toronto requires a minimum permit fee of $214.79 for 2026. Total permit and administrative costs for a residential roof typically range from $300 to $800.

Asphalt shingles average $4.50–$8.00 per sq ft ($9,000–$15,000 total), whereas metal roofing is significantly higher at $10–$24 per sq ft, with total project costs often ranging from $23,500 to $57,000.

Costs have risen by approximately 10% year-over-year due to a 6-8% hike in material wholesale prices (driven by petroleum and carbon pricing) and a persistent shortage of skilled labor in the GTA.
