How Much Does It Cost?

Real pricing from real GTA projects. No gating, no games — just the numbers you need to make a smart decision.

Metal Roofing Cost Guide

How Much Does Metal Roofing Cost in the GTA? (2026 Prices)

$15,000 – $40,000+

$6.50 – $18/per sq ft installed installed

Let's cut to it — a metal roof is a big investment, and you deserve honest numbers before you talk to a single contractor. Most homeowners in the Greater Toronto Area pay between $15,000 and $40,000 for a full metal roof installation. The final number depends on the size of your roof, the type of metal you choose, and whether there are any surprises hiding under those old shingles.

Flat Roofing Cost Guide

How Much Does Flat Roofing Cost in the GTA? (2026 Prices)

$8,000 – $25,000+

$5 – $17/per sq ft installed installed

Flat roofs are a different animal than sloped roofs, and the pricing works differently too. Most flat roofing jobs in the Greater Toronto Area land between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on the size of the roof, the membrane system you pick, and whether drainage needs to be reworked. Here's what you should actually expect to pay.

Underpinning Cost Guide

How Much Does Underpinning Cost in the GTA? (2026 Prices)

$40,000 – $100,000+

$300 – $600/per linear foot installed

Underpinning is one of the biggest investments you can make in your home — and one of the most worthwhile if you've got a cramped, low-ceiling basement that's basically wasted space. Most basement lowering projects in the Greater Toronto Area run between $40,000 and $100,000 or more. That's a wide range because every foundation is different, and the engineering requirements vary a lot from house to house.

Landscaping Cost Guide

How Much Does Landscaping Cost in the GTA? (2026 Prices)

$5,000 – $50,000+

$5,000 – $50,000+/depending on scope installed

Landscaping is one of those things where the price range is huge — and for good reason. A simple front-yard cleanup is a completely different project than a full backyard transformation with a natural stone patio, retaining walls, and a built-in fire pit. Most GTA homeowners spend between $5,000 and $50,000, with the sweet spot for a solid backyard makeover landing around $20,000 to $35,000.

Cost / sq ft

Lifespan

Pros

Cons

Standing Seam

Recommended

$12 – $18 per sq ft

50+ years

Longest lifespan of any residential roofing option

Hidden fasteners mean zero exposed screw holes to leak

Clean, modern look that raises curb appeal significantly

Handles heavy snow loads and GTA ice storms with ease

Highest upfront cost of the three options

Installation takes longer and requires experienced crews

Dents can be harder (and pricier) to repair individually

Metal Shingles

$8 – $14 per sq ft

40–50 years

Looks like traditional shingles — great for heritage or HOA-friendly homes

Lighter weight puts less stress on your roof structure

Easier for most crews to install compared to standing seam

Good balance of cost and durability

Exposed fasteners on some styles can require future maintenance

Fewer colour and profile options than standing seam

Slightly shorter lifespan than premium standing seam

Corrugated Steel Panels

$6.50 – $10 per sq ft

30–40 years

Most affordable entry point for metal roofing

Quick installation keeps labour costs lower

Works well for detached garages, workshops, and simpler roof lines

Widely available — shorter lead times

Less refined appearance than standing seam or metal shingles

More susceptible to noise during heavy rain without added insulation

Shorter lifespan compared to the other two options
