The short answer

Most full asphalt shingle replacements in Collingwood and the surrounding towns land between $8,000 and $16,000. Metal roofing, either steel shingles or standing seam, typically runs $18,000 to $40,000 and lasts two to three times as long. Simple roof repairs, by contrast, mostly fall between $300 and $1,500; if that is what you need, see our roof repair page.

2026 price ranges by home size

Home Architectural asphalt Metal
Small bungalow (roof ~1,200 sq ft) $6,500 – $9,000 $14,000 – $22,000
Average bungalow / side-split (~1,800 sq ft) $8,000 – $12,000 $18,000 – $28,000
Two-storey home (~2,400 sq ft) $11,000 – $16,000 $24,000 – $36,000

Installed prices including tear-off, underlayment, ice and water shield, and disposal. Roof area is larger than floor area; a 1,500 sq ft bungalow often carries a 1,900+ sq ft roof.

What moves the price

Roof area and pitch

The two biggest factors. Steeper roofs need more safety setup, more time, and more material per square foot of footprint. Anything above a 8/12 pitch carries a steep-work premium at every company, whether they show it as a line or hide it in the total.

Material grade

Builder-grade 3-tab shingles still exist but are a false economy in bay wind. Architectural shingles are the sensible floor here; premium 'performance' lines and metal buy longer life and higher wind ratings.

Deck repair

The honest wildcard. Plank and OSB decks hide soft spots until tear-off. Good quotes state a per-sheet replacement price up front; bad ones discover it on the invoice.

Ice and water membrane coverage

Cheap quotes do the code minimum at the eaves. Snow-country roofs should have membrane in valleys, around penetrations, and often two courses at the eaves. It is a few hundred dollars of material that prevents four-figure ceiling repairs.

Ventilation and insulation work

If the attic is part of your ice-dam problem, fixing it during the re-roof is far cheaper than after. Balanced intake and exhaust also keeps the shingle warranty valid.

Access and disposal

Tight lots, landscaping to protect, and how far debris has to travel all move the number modestly. Disposal fees are real and should be a visible line.

How to compare quotes

Make every bidder show the same six lines: tear-off and disposal, deck repair rate, ice and water coverage, underlayment type, the exact shingle or panel product, and ventilation. When a quote is thousands cheaper, one of those lines is almost always missing or minimal. A roof is the one part of the house where the cheap version and the proper version look identical from the driveway for about five years, and then very different for the next twenty.

Roof cost questions

How much does a new roof cost in Collingwood in 2026? +

Most homeowners pay between $8,000 and $16,000 for a full asphalt shingle replacement. Small bungalows can come in under $8,000; large, steep, or complex homes go above $16,000. Metal systems typically run $18,000 to $40,000. The biggest cost drivers are roof area, pitch, material grade, and how much decking needs repair.

What is the cost per square foot? +

As a working number for this area: architectural asphalt installed usually lands around $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot of roof area, steel shingle systems around $9 to $13, and standing seam around $12 to $18. Roof area runs larger than floor area because of pitch and overhangs, which is why per-square-foot math on your floor plan underestimates the total.

Why do quotes for the same roof differ by thousands of dollars? +

Usually one of four things is missing from the cheap quote: ice and water shield coverage, deck repair priced honestly, ventilation work, or proper disposal and cleanup. Ask every bidder to itemize those four lines and the gap usually explains itself.

Does insurance ever pay for a roof replacement? +

Only when a covered peril, like wind, hail, or a fallen tree, causes the damage. Age and wear are not covered. If a storm finished off your roof, document everything before cleanup and involve your insurer early; our emergency page covers the claim process.

When is the cheapest time of year to replace a roof? +

Late fall and early spring tend to have the most scheduling flexibility in this area. Summer and September book up first. Booking an inspection over winter for an early-spring install is a genuinely good play here.
