Are you considering installing a new roof in Vancouver and the surrounding cities? You’re probably wondering, “How much is this going to cost me”? Well, the truth is, roofing prices can vary a lot depending on your home and what you need, but we’re here to break it down for you in simple terms.
What Impacts the Cost of a New Roof
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But here are a few key things that can affect the price of a new roof:
- Size of your roof: Bigger roofs = more materials and more labour.
- Type of materials: Asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shakes, each has its own price tag.
- Roof pitch and shape: Steep or complex roofs take longer to work on, which can increase the cost of labour time.
- Old roof removal: If your current roof needs to be torn off, that adds time and cost.
- Repairs or rot: Hidden damage under old shingles can lead to extra charges.
Average Roofing Costs in Vancouver
On average, most Vancouver homeowners spend several thousand dollars for a full roof replacement. Small homes with simple roofs cost less. Larger or steeper homes cost more. Want to know the cost for your home? Give us a call and we’re happy to give you a quote!
Pro Tip: Every home is different. Don’t guesstimate, talk to a roofer you trust.
Is a New Roof Worth the Investment
Absolutely, yes. After twenty years, it’s always recommended to replace your roof. A new roof protects your home from rain, snow, moisture, and all the elements. It’s your home’s first line of defense, so it’s definitely worth the investment. A bad roof can lead to leaks, mold, and major repairs later on. Paying for a quality roof now can actually save you money long term.
Plus, if you plan to sell your home, a new roof can help boost resale value and speed up the sale.
What About Warranties
Warranties are a big deal. At Canuck Roofing, we stand behind our work. Most roofs we install come with:
- The manufacturer warranties on the materials (some last up to 30 years).
- 10-Year labour warranty, so you’re covered if anything goes wrong during installation.
Pro Tip: Make sure to ask about both warranties before choosing any roofing contractor.
Liability and Safety: Don’t Overlook This
Roofing is serious work. It’s also dangerous. That’s why it’s very important to hire a contractor who is:
- Covered for liability. At Canuck Roofing, we carry a 10-million-dollar liability insurance.
- Covered by WorkSafeBC
- We are BC COR Certified and follow stringent safety protocols.
We take safety seriously, for our team and your home. That’s why we are the top-rated Burnaby roofing company for 2024 and 2025.
