Estimated repair costs

 

Use the following information to get a good idea of the costs associated with this comprehensive list of small to large renovation and construction projects.

Roofing & Flashing
Removal of existing material, disposal & clean-up. $0.50 - 2.00 sq.ft.

Roofing (material & labour)
1. Asphalt Shingles - felt base $1.50 - 1.75 sq.ft.
