Commercial roofers install, repair, and service commercial and industrial roofing systems: single-ply membranes (TPO, EPDM, PVC), modified bitumen, built-up roofing, flat and low-slope systems, sheet metal and flashing, and building-envelope and waterproofing work. It sits on the roofer trade, adds commercial skill, and pays accordingly. This guide sets out what it pays.
The official wage band
Job Bank classifies roofers under NOC 73110, Roofers and shinglers. These are the official hourly wages for the trade in Canada, low to high, updated November 19, 2025.
| Level | Hourly |
|---|---|
| Low | $22.00 |
| Median | $30.97 |
| High | $44.24 |
Reading the band
The band is wide because NOC 73110 spans residential shingle work at the low end and skilled commercial and Red Seal roofers at the top. Read the top of the band as the skilled commercial, single-ply, and journeyperson end, where reading blueprints, applying membrane and torch-applied systems, and working at heights are part of the job.
What lifts your pay
- Red Seal certification and journeyperson status
- Commercial single-ply (TPO, EPDM, PVC) and modified-bitumen experience
- Working-at-heights and fall-protection training, and propane or torch-safety tickets
- Foreman and lead-hand roles on commercial and building-envelope crews
Reading the ranges
These bands cover NOC 73110, the roofer trade. Newer roofers and residential shingle crews sit near the floor. Certified journeyperson commercial roofers with single-ply and building-envelope experience sit toward the ceiling, and Quebec, where the trade is compulsory, shows the highest band in the country.
