How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Calgary?

July 30, 2018

That's like asking "how much does a home cost?" The cost for a home suitable for one family is not necessarily the same as one suitable for another family. Every home varies based on overall square footage, floor plan layout, and design; therefore every roof has just as many if not more variables.
A small home's roof could cost as little as $4,000 to $5,000 with a basic asphalt roofing, but a large custom home could easily exceed $40,000 to $50,000 for a Lifetime Rubber Roof.
The more chopped up the roof is with more peaks the valleys, the higher the cost. This is why we cannot accurately quote a standard per square foot cost for new roofing as all the additional materials (ice and water protection, flashings and drip caps, starter strips, and ridge caps) can add up to 50% on top of the cost of the shingles themselves
Replacement roofing projects often average between $7,000 and $10,000 for basic asphalt shingles.
Hail resistant shingles could add $1,500 to $2,500 to the basic asphalt price above
A higher end Lifetime Rubber Roof is typically double the cost of the basic asphalt but can vary greatly depending on the layout of the roof.
