The cost of replacing a roof

Re-roofing is sometimes the most practical and least expensive solution to roofing problems, to ensure your comfort and protect structures over the long term.
But how much money is needed to carry out the work?
That essentially depends on the materials chosen and the size and shape of the roof.
In any case, prices are generally reasonable in Montreal, especially if you entrust the job to Toiture Couvreur Montréal.
Let’s find out.

Budget for sheet metal roofing

The price of a tin roof ranges from $12.5 to $15 per square foot, but installation is rather costly, not least because of the complexity of the work involved.
You’ll need to budget at least $15,000 for a small structure like an ordinary bungalow.
For the most prestigious homes, this can rise to $60,000.

Budget for an elastomer roof

An elastomer roof costs around $8.5 to $14 per square foot.
This means you’ll need to prepare around $20,000 to re-roof 1,500 feet.
It’s an expensive option, which is understandable given its originality.

The budget for a green roof

The green roof is probably the most expensive option, with an intensive model costing around $40 per square foot and an extensive model between $15 and $25 per square foot.
Then there are the costs of additional work, such as installing rainwater retention and drainage systems, and laying membranes.

Budget for a slate roof

A slate roof costs between $22.5 and $40 per square foot, depending on the seller.
You should therefore budget a total of at least $20,000 for re-roofing a small bungalow.
This can rise to $40,000 for a two-storey house and $60,000 for an architect’s residence.

Budget for a flat roof

The cost of a flat roof is rather low, between $8 and $10 per square foot, but it’s the installation that’s very expensive, due to the delicacy of the joints.
So it’s hard to say exactly how much to budget for the work, since it depends on the complexity of the job.

The budget for a shingle roof

Shingle roofing is the least expensive option on the market, costing around $3 to $5 per square foot, and installation costs are reasonable in most cases.
You’ll need around $4,000 to $6,000 for a typical bungalow, and $5,000 to $7,000 for a standard two-storey house.
