Roof Leak Repair Cost in Davao (2026 Guide) — Per Sheet, Per Metre, Per sqm
In Davao City in 2026 a roof inspection costs ₱800–₱1,500 (waived on repair), fixing a single leak ₱1,500–₱3,500, re-screwing and sealing ₱150–₱400 per sheet, replacing a roofing sheet ₱1,500–₱3,500 per sheet plus the sheet, flashing ₱1,200–₱3,500 per run, gutters ₱600–₱1,200 per metre installed, and waterproofing a concrete deck ₱250–₱600 per square metre. A full re-roof of a typical bungalow with new long-span sheets runs from roughly ₱60,000 to ₱150,000 depending on size, gauge and whether the framing needs work.

What drives the price
Finding the leak vs fixing it. Sealing where the drip is takes ten minutes and rarely works. Finding the entry point — often metres away along a rib — is the skilled part, and a hose test with someone inside is worth the extra hour.
How many points. One failed lap is a small job. A roof with the original ten-year-old screws is a re-screw job: cheap per sheet, but it is every sheet.
Materials. Tekscrews with good washers, roofing-grade sealant and sheets of the right gauge cost more than the hardware-store minimum and are the difference between a repair that lasts three years and one that lasts one rainy season.
Height and pitch. A low bungalow roof is walked; a steep two-storey roof is harnessed. Labour and safety time both go up.
Concrete vs metal. Metal roofs are repaired by the point; concrete decks are waterproofed by the square metre, because patches on concrete almost never hold.
Repair, re-screw or re-roof?
A roof under ten years old with one or two leaks is a repair. A roof past ten years with the original screws and several leaks is a re-screw-and-seal job — every screw replaced, every lap sealed, ridge and flashings checked — which typically costs a tenth of a new roof and buys five or more years. Re-roofing makes sense when sheets are rusting through from the eaves, when a previous owner used thin gauge that flexes and opens laps in every wind, or when the framing underneath has rotted, in which case the sheets are the cheap part.
Sequence matters for cost too: gutters and flashings before the rains, ceiling repairs only after the roof has been through a heavy rain and proven dry, and repainting last. Our roof leak repair service quotes every defect as a separate line after the inspection, so you can do the urgent ones now and the rest next payday — and a yearly gutter clean is where most roof problems get caught early.
Questions worth asking any roofer
Did you find the entry point, or are you sealing where it drips? Can I see the photo?
Which screws and sealant — roofing tekscrews with EPDM washers and a roofing-grade sealant, or whatever was in the truck?
Is the price per sheet, per point or per day, and what happens if the leak returns after the next rain?
For sheets: what gauge and brand, and is the price per sheet including labour?
Frequently asked questions
Magkano ang pagpapaayos ng bubong sa Davao?
In 2026: a single leak ₱1,500–₱3,500, re-screwing and sealing ₱150–₱400 per sheet, a replacement sheet ₱1,500–₱3,500 labour plus the sheet, gutters ₱600–₱1,200 per metre, waterproofing ₱250–₱600 per sqm. An inspection with photos is ₱800–₱1,500 and waived if you proceed.
Is it cheaper to re-screw the whole roof than fix leaks one by one?
Usually, once a roof is past its first decade. Each visit for a single leak is a call-out plus a ladder; a re-screw handles every sheet in one day and fixes the leaks you have not noticed yet. The inspection tells you which makes sense.
Why does concrete waterproofing cost so much more than a metal roof patch?
Because it has to cover the whole surface: water enters concrete through hairline cracks anywhere, travels inside the slab and appears far from the crack. Patching one spot moves the leak; a membrane or elastomeric coating over the deck stops it.
Can you fix the ceiling stains as well?
Yes — ceiling board replacement and finishing are quoted with the roof work, done after the roof has proven dry through a rain. Repainting a whole ceiling is arranged with a painting partner.
