What actually drives the price of a re-roof
We base your price on roof size and slope. Steep roofs take longer and require extra safety gear compared to flat, walkable roofs. Your material selection also changes the total. Asphalt shingles, standing seam metal and flat roof membranes each carry distinct costs. Tear-off costs increase when your roof has two or three old shingle layers. Tight driveway access, tall walls and multiple valleys also add labour.
What an asphalt shingle re-roof costs
We charge $7.50 to $12 per square foot for an asphalt shingle re-roof. That price includes tearing off your old shingles. Three-tab shingles sit at the bottom of the range. We install architectural and laminated shingles rated for thirty- to forty-year life. These quality materials cost more upfront. We add extra water barriers and heavy edge flashing to handle coastal rain. We list those items clearly on your written quote so you see every detail.
What a metal roof costs
Metal runs $14 to $25+ per square foot installed. Screw-down panels are the cheaper way in at $14 to $16 per square foot. Standing seam and interlocking metal shingles run $20 to $25+. You pay more upfront for metal. It stands up well to heavy rain, coastal air, falling branches and wind.
What repairs cost
We charge $300 to $800 for small repairs. That covers sealing minor leaks, replacing two or three shingles, or re-flashing a vent. Medium repairs are $800 to $2,500: moss-damaged rot spots, small valley leaks, and flashing at several skylights. Large repairs cost $2,500 to $6,000+. We charge that rate when replacing rotten plywood decking or fixing widespread water damage across your roof.
Disposal fees at the Sort'nGo Centre
We haul your old shingles to the Alberni Valley Sort'nGo Centre. They weigh the truck and charge us construction and demolition waste rates. A larger tear-off with more layers weighs more and costs more to dispose of. We calculate disposal costs directly from that weight. You see the exact disposal line item on your written quote.
| Waste type | Rate | Minimum charge |
|---|---|---|
| Construction and demolition waste | $185.00 per tonne | $15 minimum |
| Gypsum | $260.00 per tonne | $10 minimum |
| Solid waste (loads 83 kg or greater) | $150.00 per tonne | $15 minimum |
| Recyclable, controlled, organic, or unsecured loads | Double the standard fee | — |
Permit fees, if your job needs one
You can read about local permit requirements in our roofing permits guide. We help you figure out what your specific job needs. If your job does need one, the City of Port Alberni and the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District both charge a flat application fee.
| Jurisdiction | Application fee |
|---|---|
| City of Port Alberni | $100 |
| Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (rural electoral-area property) | $100 |
The facility charges by tonnage for general construction waste. Total weight varies based on your roof size and how many shingle layers come off. You pay permit fees only when your city or district requires one. Check our roofing permits guide to see how local rules apply.
