Quote one to do shingles. 6900.00
Quote two 5500.00
Quote 3 not local. 4000.00 all in.
Been hearing local workers ****ed up in price but ya.

Sorry words. We are adult. But some may not.

$4000 would be for a fairly large house/garage/shop.
What type of shingles?

(I have to do shingles this summer to)

Did our house here last year...relatively big, couple of dormers....couldn't even find anyone to commit, prices at 10-20,000.
So if all this business moves to Saskatchewan, start saving your money, your gonna need it.

Sorry did not keep dimensions. Small house covered deck plus extra wide single garage. Call d's out of Saskatoon. Drinks local not worth hiring.

Shingles top of the line. Look like shakes. 50 year

I cant stand shingles, tin is a superior product. Asphault belongs on a road not a roof.

well , the problem is that all these services started comparing themselves to oilpatch . they were able to up and up their fees to compete with oilpatch even though they are hundreds of miles from the patch . only difference was that they got to sleep in their own beds , didn't have to live in some camp in the bush and leave their families behind . well guess what , oilpatch rates have dropped about 25 percent in the last 6 months , do you see any of these gougers dropping ?? we paid a mechanic with a one ton from s dealership $500 to travel 90 miles, was never even that bad in the patch during the boom

How big? Last year to shingle a 30x40 house, and a 26x24 garage any where from 8000-10500. if its a well known shingler and he does good work, get him even if more money.
