How much does it cost to put a new roof on a house in Dieppe?

A new roof in Dieppe typically costs between $12,000-$35,000 for an average-sized home, depending on materials, roof complexity, and your home's size. Most homeowners in the Greater Moncton area spend around $18,000-$25,000 for a quality asphalt shingle replacement.

Material costs drive the biggest price differences. Standard architectural shingles run $8,000-$15,000 in materials and labor for a typical 1,500-2,000 sq ft home, while premium options like metal roofing ($15,000-$25,000) or slate ($25,000-$35,000+) cost significantly more. The good news is that New Brunswick pricing runs about 20-25% lower than Toronto or Vancouver markets.

Your roof's characteristics heavily impact the final cost. A simple gable roof costs far less than a complex design with multiple dormers, valleys, and steep pitches. Two-story homes require more safety equipment and labor time. If you're in one of Dieppe's older neighborhoods with a heritage-style home, expect additional complexity around chimneys, skylights, and architectural details.

Don't forget the hidden costs that often surprise homeowners. Plywood or OSB sheathing replacement adds $3-$6 per square foot if the deck is damaged. Fascia and soffit repairs can add $2,000-$5,000. If your home was built before 1980, asbestos testing may be required before removal, adding $500-$1,500 to the project.

Timing affects both price and availability. Spring and early summer see peak demand and higher prices, while fall installations (September-October) often come with better rates. However, New Brunswick's harsh winters mean you have a limited window - most roofers won't install after November due to freeze-thaw cycles and snow loads.

Building permits are required in Dieppe for roof replacements. Contact the Town of Dieppe's Urban Planning department at (506) 877-7900 or visit dieppe.ca. The permit ensures your new roof meets NBC 2020 standards for snow loads - critical given our 250-300cm annual snowfall. Your contractor should handle the permit application, but verify this upfront.

Get at least three detailed quotes from licensed contractors who carry WorkSafeNB coverage (mandatory for employers with 3+ workers - verify at worksafenb.ca). Quality contractors will inspect your roof deck, provide material specifications, and include cleanup in their quote. A good roof should last 20-25 years in our Maritime climate with proper installation and ventilation.
