Flat roof replacement costs in Hamilton
Hamilton benefits from slightly milder winters than Toronto due to lake effect, but still experiences significant freeze-thaw cycling. The city's large industrial building stock means many flat roofs are on commercial and warehouse properties requiring durable, cost-effective membrane systems. Modified bitumen and EPDM dominate the Hamilton market.
| Material | Cost / sq ft | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Modified bitumen | $8–$13 | 15–25 yrs |
| EPDM (rubber) | $8–$15 | 20–30 yrs |
| TPO | $10–$17 | 20–30 yrs |
| PVC | $11–$18 | 25–35 yrs |
| Built-up (BUR) | $9–$15 | 20–30 yrs |
