When your shingles start curling, cracking, or going missing, it’s time to consider a roof replacement. But one of the biggest questions homeowners have is: how much will it actually cost to replace a shingle roof in Alberta?
Let’s walk through the factors that affect roofing costs and what you can expect when hiring a professional roofing contractor.
Cost to replace a shingle roof in Southern Alberta
Several factors influence the final cost to replace a shingle roof in Southern Alberta such as the following:
1.
Size of Your Roof
The larger the surface area, the more materials and labour are required. A small single-family home might cost significantly less than a large two-storey house with a garage and complex rooflines.
2.
Pitch and Complexity
A steep or multi-faceted roof with lots of peaks and valleys requires more labour and safety measures, increasing the cost compared to a simple gable roof.
3.
We primarily install asphalt shingles, which are the most common and cost-effective option in Alberta. However, higher-end architectural shingles cost more but offer better wind resistance and longer life.
4.
Tear-Off and Disposal
Removing the old roof and disposing of shingles and underlayment adds to the labour and landfill costs.
5.
Ventilation and Upgrades
We include upgraded roof vents, underlayments, and ice & water shield, which are important for long-term durability and code compliance in Alberta’s climate.
💰 Average Cost Range in Alberta
While we don’t list pricing per square foot online, to give you a general idea:
Small homes (no garage): starting around $6,000+
Mid-sized homes (with garage): typically $8,000–$11,000
Large or complex roofs: may range $12,000+, depending on slope and materials
