# Roofing contractors in Bengaluru: what a roof costs, and what to do about a leak

What a roof over your terrace or balcony costs a square foot, and what a rate leaves out. What to do about a leak, and whether you need permission to cover a terrace. We read the quotations of the two roof builders on mytribe, spoke to one of them on an onboarding call, and read the 19 requests Bengaluru people sent us since March for a roof over a balcony or terrace.

19 roof requests · Rates from 2 builders · Updated 23 Oct 2026, prices dated below

Check every price with the builder when you book.

## Q1. How much does a terrace roof cost per sq ft in Bengaluru?

**For a 200 sq ft terrace, a plain metal sheet roof from a local fabricator, frame and fitting in, works out to about ₹41,000 to ₹61,000 before GST (₹205 to ₹305 a sq ft, our estimate).** An insulated puff sheet, Mangalore tile or glass roof with a new welded frame opens at ₹550 to ₹950 a sq ft on Misty Garden Weldscape's quotations, about ₹1.1 lakh to ₹1.9 lakh for the same terrace by our sum, and they may come down on the final quote.

**The roofs, and what each costs a sq ft**

Each look from the cheapest up: its price, whose price it is, how long it takes and what it needs.

- **A polycarbonate sheet on a frame you already have:** ₹200 a sq ft, plus 18% GST, Ingenium Designs, 6 mm multiwall polycarbonate fitted on a frame that stands. No steel work. Time: Ask.

Builders' prices are lines on their own quotations, 2026. Misty Garden Weldscape's are the opening lines of their quotations, and they may come down on the final quote. Their quotes don't state GST, so ask. They take jobs from ₹1,00,000. These photos are of different Misty Garden Weldscape jobs from the ones quoted. The polycarbonate and metal sheet roofs are drawings. Photos: Illustration by mytribe and Misty Garden Weldscape.

**The cheapest way is a local fabrication shop with a plain metal sheet.** No Bengaluru fabricator publishes a rate for it, so we added one up: a colour-coated sheet at ₹55 to ₹110 a sq ft from a dealer, a simple steel frame at about ₹100 from a panel maker's example, and Bengaluru labour at ₹50 to ₹95 from a cost calculator site. You give up a drawing, a written warranty and, often, the gutter.

**Published prices disagree three to ten times,** because most are for the material alone and come from sellers outside Bengaluru. Read each for what it covers:

| Roof | What the price covers | Price a sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Colour-coated metal sheet | The sheet alone, a Mangalore sheet dealer, July 2026 | ₹55 to ₹110. Plain GI ₹45 to ₹90 |
| Polycarbonate sheet | The sheet alone, the same dealer | ₹40 to ₹200, by type and thickness |
| Puff panel | The panel alone, a Jaipur panel maker, February 2024 | ₹106 to ₹144, by thickness |
| Metal sheet roof, fitted | Our estimate. A cost calculator site, Bengaluru. A content site with no author or date. A Jalahalli fabricator's site, any material | ₹205 to ₹305. ₹175 to ₹320. ₹400 to ₹600. ₹300 to ₹1,500 |
| Mangalore tile roof, fitted | A Yelahanka tile seller, June 2026. The same content site | ₹45 to ₹75. ₹480 to ₹680 |

**The ten-times gap on Mangalore tile is the tile seller's figure against the content site's.** The seller's looks low for relaying an old roof, and the content site's looks like a full new roof. Get three written quotes for your own roof.

**What people here planned to spend:** three budgets sent to us for a terrace or balcony roof work out to about ₹420 to ₹660 a sq ft, by our sum.

| What they asked for | Their budget |
|---|---|
| A roof over a 14 by 14 ft terrace, keeping all the rain out | ₹1 lakh to ₹1.3 lakh. About ₹510 to ₹660 a sq ft, our sum |
| A steel frame with multiwall polycarbonate over 300 sq ft | ₹1.5 lakh. About ₹500 a sq ft, our sum |
| A 12 by 12 ft gazebo on the terrace with a solid roof | ₹60,000 at most, GST in. About ₹420 a sq ft, our sum |

From their requests to us, March to July 2026: what they planned to spend. The 300 sq ft one was asked for as a pergola.

- Pictures: the polycarbonate and metal sheet roofs are drawings by mytribe. The puff sheet, tile and glass roofs are Misty Garden Weldscape's own work.

## Q2. What does a roofer's per sq ft rate include, and what's extra?

**First ask whether the steel frame is in the rate. A sheet fitted on a frame you already have and a new roof with its own frame are two different jobs, and the frame can cost as much as the sheet.** Then add carrying it up, clearing the old roof, a gutter and 18% GST before you compare two quotes.

**Got a per sq ft rate? See where it sits**

| If the quote is | What that is | Who is in that range | What to ask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under ₹110 a sq ft | The price of the sheet alone, at a dealer | Colour-coated metal sheet: ₹55 to ₹110 a sq ft, material only; Plain GI sheet: ₹45 to ₹90; Polycarbonate sheet: from ₹40, by type and thickness | Ask whether the frame and the fitting are in it, and who puts it up. |
| ₹110 to ₹349 a sq ft | A plain sheet on a simple new frame from a local fabricator, or a sheet fitted on a frame you have | A plain metal sheet roof with its frame from a local fabricator: about ₹205 to ₹305, our estimate; Ingenium Designs: 6 mm multiwall polycarbonate fitted on your frame, ₹200 plus 18% GST | Ask for the pipe size and the sheet's brand and thickness in writing, and whether the area is the floor or the slope. |
| ₹350 to ₹749 a sq ft | An insulated or tile roof with a new frame | Misty Garden Weldscape: 30 mm puff sheet with its welded frame, ₹550; Misty Garden Weldscape: Mangalore double tile with its frame, ₹635 and ₹680; Three budgets people sent us for a terrace roof: about ₹420 to ₹660 a sq ft, our sum | Ask how thick the panel is or how the tiles are laid, and whether labour and transport are separate lines. |
| ₹750 a sq ft and over | A glass roof with a new frame | Misty Garden Weldscape: 10 mm toughened glass with its frame, ₹850 tinted and ₹950 clear | Ask whose glass it is, how thick, and how the edges are sealed. |

A clear quote names:

- **The steel frame.** ₹70 to ₹100 a sq ft on its own in one panel maker's 2024 example; in Misty Garden Weldscape's rate
- **The sheet's brand and thickness, TCT or BMT.** Ask
- **Carrying it up and clearing the old roof.** ₹6,000 and ₹5,000 on one Ingenium Designs job; ₹7,000 to ₹13,000 for labour at Misty Garden Weldscape
- **Transport.** ₹3,000 to ₹6,000 at Misty Garden Weldscape
- **A gutter and down pipe.** Ask
- **GST.** 18% on top at Ingenium Designs

The builders' lines are from their own 2026 quotations. The sheet prices are a dealer's, and the local fabricator's range is our estimate (question 1).

The job the quote is for: a sheet on a frame I already have, a new roof with its own frame or tile or glass on a new frame.

Send it and a person here reads the whole quote.

[Send us your quote (WhatsApp +91 63600 04054)](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi!%20I%20want%20a%20roof%20put%20up%20in%20Bengaluru.%0AQuote%3A%20%0AIt%20says%3A%20%0AIt%20does%20not%20say%3A%20%0AIs%20it%20fair%3F)

**Three quotes a sq ft that are far apart are often three different jobs:** the sheet alone, a sheet on a light frame, and a heavier roof with its frame. Ingenium Designs' ₹200 and Misty Garden Weldscape's ₹550 don't compare either: the first is a polycarbonate sheet on a frame you already have, the second an insulated roof with a new welded frame.

**A 200 sq ft puff sheet roof at Misty Garden Weldscape's rates**

| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Puff sheet roof and its welded frame, 200 sq ft (₹550 a sq ft, the opening line of their quote) | ₹1,10,000 |
| Labour and service (more with an old roof to take down) | ₹7,000 to ₹13,000 |
| Transport | ₹3,000 to ₹6,000 |
| **Works out to, before GST** | **₹1,20,000 to ₹1,29,000** |

We added this up from their quotation lines. It isn't a quote. Their quotes don't state GST, so ask. At 18% it would add about ₹22,000. A gutter, plumbing and civil work are extra.

- **The frame.** Some fabricators price the steel by the kilo, and a thinner pipe makes a lower quote. Misty Garden Weldscape's frames are 12 and 14 gauge steel with one coat of primer and one of paint. Ask for the pipe size and gauge on the quote.
- **The area.** A sloping roof has more sheet than the floor under it, and some builders bill for cutting waste: on one Misty Garden Weldscape job, an 88 sq ft balcony was billed as 95 sq ft of glass. Ask which area the rate is on.
- **The lines on top.** Ingenium Designs charged ₹6,000 to carry material up to a terrace and ₹5,000 to clear the old roof on one job, with 18% GST on the invoice. Across three Misty Garden Weldscape quotes, labour ran ₹7,000 to ₹13,000 and transport ₹3,000 to ₹6,000, more for a terrace with an old roof to take down. Plumbing and civil work are extra there.
- **The gutter.** It's often left off the first quote. Without it, the water lands on your floor or the neighbour's wall.

**Keep the last payment until it has rained.** Misty Garden Weldscape takes 50% to confirm, 40% during the work and 10% at handover, with the quote valid 30 days. Before you pay the last part, run a hose over the roof and look for drips.

**Source of this answer:** two builders' quotations and terms, 2026, and one panel maker's published shed example.

- [Ingenium Designs](https://mytribe.in/ingeniumdesigns_bangalore): ₹200 a sq ft fitted on an existing frame; ₹6,000 to carry material to a terrace and ₹5,000 to clear and remove the old roof, on one job; 18% GST on the invoice. Their quotation of 24 September 2026.
- [Misty Garden Weldscape](https://mytribe.in/mistygardenweldscape): rates with the frame; 12 and 14 gauge steel, one coat of yellow oxide primer and one of paint; labour ₹7,000 to ₹13,000 and transport ₹3,000 to ₹6,000 across three quotes; 95 sq ft of glass billed for an 88 sq ft balcony; plumbing and civil extra; 50% to confirm, 40% during, 10% at handover, valid 30 days. Their quotations, May and June 2026, and a job built in August 2026.
- [Pronto Panels](https://www.prontopanels.com/pronto-panel-price-calculator/): a frame at ₹70 to ₹100 a sq ft in its shed examples. Prices as on 22 February 2024.
- Steel by the kilo, the sloped area and gutters: what the trade knows, with no number behind it.

## Q3. My roof leaks. Do I repair it or replace it, and who do I call?

**Have the leak found and fixed before anyone sells you a new roof. Make whoever comes show you where the water gets in before he quotes.** On a sheet roof it is usually a screw, an overlap or the joint with the wall. On an old tile roof it's usually a slipped or cracked tile, or the wood under it. Replace only when the sheet has rusted through or the wood has rotted.

![An illustration of an old Mangalore tile roof with a few tiles slipped and two lifted off, the dark wooden battens showing underneath, a coconut tree beside the house](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru/old-tile-roof-83af401cd0.png) On an old tile roof, a slipped tile or the wood under it lets the water in. Picture: Illustration by mytribe.

**Who to call.** For a sheet roof, the fabricator who put it up, or a fabrication shop near you. For a tile roof, a tile roofer: ask a neighbour whose tile roof was redone recently, or the shop you buy the tiles from. For a leaking flat concrete terrace, a waterproofing contractor. The roof builders on mytribe put up new roofs and have no repair work on file with us, so we can't send you one for this.

**What a repair costs.** No Bengaluru roofer publishes a price for a repair, so ask for a written quote that names each spot. What we can give you: a roofer's day costs about ₹300 to ₹1,000 in a big city by one roofing maker's figures, and a new Mangalore tile ₹40 to ₹55 (₹60 to ₹85 for a better one) from a Yelahanka tile seller.

**Where a sheet roof lets water in**

![The underside of a flat cream puff sheet roof on a black steel grid, the joints between panels running across it, white posts and trees beyond](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru/crop-d458f5f9-e903411884.jpg)

1. **The roof sheet:** ₹550 a sq ft. What a new 30 mm puff sheet roof with its frame opens at, on Misty Garden Weldscape's quotes. The sheet itself rarely leaks. Pick id: `piece:roof-sheet`.
2. **The joints and the screws:** Ask. Where most sheet roofs leak. Ask how the overlaps are sealed and how many screws hold each sheet. Pick id: `piece:joints-and-the-screws`.
3. **The steel frame:** In the ₹550. 12 and 14 gauge steel with one coat of primer and one of paint on their quotes. Rust starts at the welds. Pick id: `piece:steel-frame`.
4. **The roof's low edge:** Ask. Ask whether a gutter and a down pipe are in the quote, and where the water goes. Pick id: `piece:roof-s-low-edge`.
5. **The posts:** Ask. Bolts into the floor can go through the terrace waterproofing. Ask how the holes are sealed. Pick id: `piece:posts`.

- **Where the wall meets the roof** needs its own metal strip or sealant. Without it, water runs down the wall and in under the edge.
- **A stain on the ceiling is a clue,** and the hole is often somewhere else: water runs along the frame before it drips.
- **A leak near wiring or a fan point:** switch that circuit off and call the electrician first.

**On an old Mangalore tile roof,** a new tile may not sit right beside a sixty-year-old one, and some old tiles break as they come off. Second-hand tiles are sold, so take one of yours to match the size. If the wood underneath is sagging or eaten, fixing it means taking the tiles off: then ask for a thin sheet under the tiles when they go back.

**Work done in the dry months can't be tested** until the first heavy rain. Keep part of the money until then, or get a written promise to come back.

- No business page we read gives a price for a tile repair or a leak patch, and none of the tribe-approved providers in Bengaluru we checked has roof repair or waterproofing on file (our records, October 2026).
- Where leaks start, the sheet itself rarely leaking, rust at the welds, the ceiling stain, wiring, old tiles and the wood under them, the sheet under tiles, the first rain: what the trade knows, with no number behind it.

## Q4. Metal sheet, polycarbonate, tile or glass: which roof for a terrace or balcony?

**Pick by what sits under it. For a room or a sit-out you'll use in April, an insulated puff sheet or Mangalore tile keeps it cooler. If you want light over a balcony or a car, use polycarbonate or glass. For a store or a drying area, a plain metal sheet is enough.** A bare metal sheet is loud in a downpour and hot by afternoon.

- **A room under a puff sheet:** Opaque and insulated. ₹550 a sq ft with the frame. ![A terrace room with a flat white puff sheet roof and glass doors, a red sloping roof beside it, patterned floor tiles in front](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru/crop-1f456969-9a3339f69b.jpg)
- **A sit-out under glass:** Daylight and the sky. ₹850 to ₹950 with the frame. ![A white steel frame with a clear glass roof on a terrace, sky and trees visible through it](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru/crop-330c2c2d-eb44102fef.jpg)
Taken on different jobs from the ones quoted. Photos: Misty Garden Weldscape.

| Roof | Light and heat | Rain noise and weight |
|---|---|---|
| Plain metal sheet. ₹205 to ₹305 with a frame, our estimate | Dark, and hot by afternoon | Loud in a downpour. Light |
| Polycarbonate, multiwall. ₹200 on your frame, Ingenium Designs | Light comes through. Clear sheet lets heat and glare in | Ask to hear one in the rain. Light. The UV side must face up |
| Puff sheet, 30 mm. ₹550 with a frame | Dark and cooler. Foam between two metal skins | Quieter than bare metal. Light |
| Mangalore double tile. ₹635 to ₹680 with a frame | Dark and cooler. Two layers of tile | Quiet. Heavy |
| Glass, 10 mm toughened. ₹850 to ₹950 with a frame | Bright, and the heat comes in. Tinted glass cuts the glare | Heavy |

Builders' rates as in question 1. Light, heat, noise and weight are what the trade knows. Nobody publishes a measurement of them.

**Nobody measures the heat or the rain noise.** A Rajajinagar fabricator says puff panels keep a room 8 to 12 degrees cooler than plain metal sheet, with no test shown. Before you pick, ask to stand under a roof they've built, in the rain if you can.

**If you'll sit, work or sleep under it, pay for insulation at the start.** A ceiling or an insulated sheet added later means taking the roof apart.

**Tile and glass are heavy,** so ask whether the frame is sized for them, and have the slab looked at before they go on it.

**Polycarbonate and glass show every leaf** and bird dropping from below, and you can't walk on polycarbonate to clean it. On a terrace that's a ladder job.

**A roof on posts in the garden or on the terrace** is a pergola. mytribe's pergola guide covers its roofs, frames and leaks.

**Source of this answer:** two builders' own rates, a fabricator's own claim, and what the trade knows about each roof.

- [Misty Garden Weldscape](https://mytribe.in/mistygardenweldscape): puff sheet, tile and glass rates with the frame. Their quotations, May to August 2026. Their posts call puff sheet roofing "superior heat & rain protection" and tile roofing good for "heat resistance, rain protection" (Instagram, February and March 2026).
- [Ingenium Designs](https://mytribe.in/ingeniumdesigns_bangalore): 6 mm multiwall polycarbonate at ₹200 a sq ft on an existing frame. Their quotation, September 2026.
- [Schmieden Fabricators](https://schfab.co.in/roofing/), Rajajinagar: puff panels 8 to 12 degrees cooler than plain metal sheet, its own claim with no test given. Read 23 October 2026.
- Light, heat, noise, weight, cleaning and the UV side: what the trade knows, with no number behind it. We found no Indian standard for rain noise on a roof.

## Q5. How do I check I'm getting the metal roofing sheet I paid for?

**Get the brand, the thickness and whether it's TCT or BMT written on the quote, then look at the underside of the sheets before they go up.** Branded sheets have the maker's name printed along the underside. Two quotes at the same rate can be for very different sheets.

**The big mills' colour-coated sheet runs about ₹50 to ₹125 a sq ft wholesale,** by brand and by thickness from 0.35 to 0.55 mm, in bulk orders of 5 to 10 tonnes. Retail is 20 to 40% higher. Those are a Haryana distributor's figures, so treat them as a guide to the gap between thicknesses.

**What did the roofing quote mean?**

- **Per sq ft:** **The rate for each square foot, but of which area.** A sloping roof has more sheet than the floor under it, and some builders add waste for cutting. Ask whether the area is the floor, the slope or the sheet billed.
- **TCT:** **Total coated thickness: the steel with its coating and paint.** A "0.50 TCT" sheet has less steel in it than a 0.50 BMT one. Ask for the thickness written as TCT or BMT on the quote.
- **BMT:** **Base metal thickness: the steel alone.** So a "0.47" in one quote and a "0.50" in another may be the same sheet. Ask for the BMT if one quote gives TCT.
- **Gauge:** **How thick the steel pipe of the frame is.** A lower number is thicker steel. A thin frame and a thick one look the same on the day it's handed over. Ask for the size and gauge of the posts and rafters in writing.
- **Galvalume and GI:** **Two coatings that stop the steel rusting.** GI is coated with zinc, and galvalume with a mix of aluminium and zinc. Ask which coating, and what the maker's warranty covers.
- **Puff (PUF) panel:** ![The underside of a flat cream puff sheet roof on a black steel grid](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru/crop-d458f5f9-e903411884.jpg) **A roof panel with insulating foam between two metal skins.** Cooler and quieter than a bare sheet, and opaque. Misty Garden Weldscape's ₹550 rate is for 30 mm. Ask how thick the foam is. Picture: Misty Garden Weldscape.
- **Multiwall polycarbonate:** **A plastic roof sheet with hollow channels inside,** lighter than glass and lets light through. Ingenium Designs' ₹200 rate is for 6 mm. Ask which side is UV coated and how the screw holes are sealed.
- **Flashing:** **A metal strip that closes the gap where the roof meets a wall.** Without it, water runs down the wall and in under the roof edge. Ask if flashing is in the quote, along every wall.
- **Ridge cap:** **The bent sheet that covers the top where two slopes of a roof meet.** Ask if the ridge cap is priced in or extra.
- **Mangalore double tile:** ![The underside of a terracotta Mangalore tile roof on white rafters](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru/crop-b8e20c68-right-0f6d00576e.jpg) **Terracotta tiles in two layers on a batten grid,** flat ceiling tiles under roofing tiles. Heavy, and cool underneath. Ask whether a sheet goes under the tiles to stop rain blowing through. Picture: Misty Garden Weldscape.

**The maker's warranty covers the sheet rusting through. A leak at a screw, an overlap or the wall is the fitter's work,** and many fitters give nothing in writing for it. Ask for the fitter's promise on leaks in writing, with how long it lasts.

**The most expensive metal roofs use a different shape of sheet,** called standing seam, with the clips hidden in the seam so no screw goes through the sheet. A Nelamangala roll-former sells it, but we found no price for a house.

**Source of this answer:** a sheet distributor's and a roll-former's published pages, and what the trade knows about sheets and quotes.

## Q6. Who builds a terrace roof in Bengaluru, how do I pick one, and how long does it take?

**Most terrace roofs in Bengaluru are put up by local fabrication and welding shops, and tile roofs by a tile roofer. Pick one whose roof you can stand under, and get the sheet, the pipe size and who fixes a leak in writing.** One Jalahalli fabricator's site says a standard house roof takes one to two weeks of work.

| Who | Good for | How it usually goes |
|---|---|---|
| A local fabrication shop | A plain sheet roof over a terrace, a store or a car. The cheapest way | Good with steel, less careful at the wall joint. Often no drawing and nothing in writing on leaks |
| A tile roofer | Relaying or repairing a Mangalore tile roof | Ask how the broken tiles are replaced and who pays for ones that break |
| A builder who does roofs as a main job | A sheet on your frame, or a new frame and roof. Puff sheet, tile or glass | A visit, a written quotation with each line, and payment in parts |
| Your house builder's roofer | A roof on a house being built | You can ask for his quote line by line, and get your own to compare |

**How to pick:**

- Stand under a roof they've built, and ask that owner how it did in the last monsoon.
- Get the sheet's brand and thickness, the pipe size and the gutter written on the quote (questions 2 and 5).
- Ask who comes back if it leaks, and get it in writing.
- Keep the last payment until it has rained.

**The two roof builders on mytribe work differently.** Ingenium Designs takes a roof on its own, fitted on a frame that already stands, with no steel work. They give a rough figure on the first call, visit free in the city, and charge ₹999 to ₹1,999 for a site 40 to 50 km out. A small job can wait when the team is busy. Misty Garden Weldscape builds the frame and the roof new, welded on your site, for jobs from ₹1,00,000.

**How long it takes.** Neither builder here gave us a number of days, so ask for one in writing. A Jalahalli fabricator's site says one to two weeks for a standard house roof. If you need cover sooner, ask for the roof first and the sides later, as one Whitefield customer did.

**Source of this answer:** two builders' terms, a fabricator's own site, and one request to mytribe.

- [Ingenium Designs](https://mytribe.in/ingeniumdesigns_bangalore): roof-only jobs with no structural work; a rough figure on the first call; visits free, ₹999 to ₹1,999 for sites 40 to 50 km out; small jobs wait when they're busy. On a call with us, filed September 2026.
- [Misty Garden Weldscape](https://mytribe.in/mistygardenweldscape): new frames welded on the customer's site, no kits; jobs from ₹1,00,000. Confirmed to our team, 2026.
- [Alfa Fabrication](https://www.alfafabrication.in/), Jalahalli West: one to two weeks for a standard residential roof. Its own site, read 23 October 2026.
- Request: a top-floor balcony in Whitefield, covered inside a week first and enclosed later, July 2026.
- Who builds which roof, and how each usually goes: what the trade knows.

## Q7. Do I need permission to cover my terrace in Bengaluru?

**To put a new roof over an open terrace, take your sanctioned plan to your city corporation's office and ask before anyone builds.** The city's bye-laws need a licence to build or make material alterations, and leave repairs out. On our reading, changing old sheets at the same size is a repair, and a roof over the whole terrace adds floor area.

**Whose yes does a terrace roof need?**

- **Changing old sheets, same size:** **On our reading, it's a repair and needs no licence. Ask your corporation first.** The bye-laws need an application for work "other than repairs", and they don't say what a repair is. Who says so: BBMP Building Bye-laws 2003, clauses 3.1 and 3.2. How firm: Our reading of "repair".
- **A new roof over my house's terrace:** **Take your sanctioned plan to your city corporation's office and ask before anyone builds.** A licence is needed for any change that adds area. On our reading, a roof over the whole terrace counts as floor area. Who says so: BBMP Building Bye-laws 2003, clauses 2.3, 3.1 and 9.10.3. How firm: Our reading. The rules were amended in January 2026 and we couldn't read the amendment.
- **A small covered spot, one side open:** **Not counted as floor area: one covered space of up to 10 sq m on the roof, with at least one side completely open.** The bye-laws call it a penthouse. Together with the staircase room, lift room and water tanks it may take up to 15% of the roof's area, and with the staircase room no more than 19 sq m. Ask whether it needs a licence. Who says so: BBMP Building Bye-laws 2003, clauses 2.61 and 9.10.3(d). How firm: The written rule, 2003 text.
- **The terrace of a flat:** **The association's yes in writing first.** The state's apartment law counts the roof as common property unless the building's declaration says otherwise, and bars any owner from adding "any material structure" without the consent of all the others. A new apartment law passed the Assembly in August 2026, but we couldn't confirm it is in force. Who says so: Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act 1972, sections 3(f) and 8. How firm: State law.

[Ask us what my terrace allows (WhatsApp +91 63600 04054)](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi!%20I%20want%20a%20roof%20put%20up%20in%20Bengaluru.%0AYour%20job%3A%20)

**Will anyone stop me?** We found no case of a terrace sheet roof being acted on. In 2021 the city warned apartment owners that adding structures after the occupancy certificate, such as covering a balcony, breaks the rules, as a news report put it. A law firm's note on a High Court ruling says the city has to serve a notice before it demolishes a building put up without plan approval. If you get one, ask for it in writing. Paying to make it go away doesn't make the roof legal.

**Plan around the terrace before the frame goes up.** A roof can shade the solar water heater and block the way to the water tank.

**Source of this answer:** the city's 2003 bye-laws as published, a news report and a law firm's note. How they apply to a terrace roof is our reading.

- [BBMP Building Bye-laws 2003](https://www.naredco.in/notification/pdfs/Bangalore-Building-Byelaws.pdf), a published copy: a licence for "material alterations" with repairs left out (3.1, 3.2); an alteration is "a structural change such as an addition to the area or height" (2.3); a covered space "not exceeding 10 square metres on the roof" with "at least one side completely open" (2.61); staircase rooms, water tanks and similar exempt up to 15% of the roof area (9.10.3(d)). Read 23 October 2026.

A published copy, read October 2026.
- [The News Minute](https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/karnataka-assembly-passes-apartment-ownership-bill-amid-bjp-jds-protest), 21 August 2026: the Assembly passed a new apartment ownership bill. We couldn't confirm it is in force.

## Before you pay, settle these seven

1. Whether the steel frame is in the rate, and its pipe size
2. The sheet's brand and thickness, TCT or BMT
3. Which area the rate is on, and the size in sq ft
4. Whether carrying up, clearing the old roof, the gutter and GST are in the number
5. How the joints, the screws and the wall joint are sealed
6. Who comes back if it leaks in the first monsoon, in writing
7. For a new roof over a terrace, what the city corporation's office says

## What Bengaluru people asked us for

Requests to mytribe, in our words.

- **Someone in Marathahalli, Aug 2026:** A badly fitted balcony roof that leaks, taken off and hauled away, and a translucent one put on so the light still comes through, with a framed front and side above the railing for rain and privacy. **₹20,000 for all of it**, removal included. (Balcony, Old roof off, Translucent)

- **Someone in Whitefield, Jul 2026:** A 22 by 5 ft top-floor balcony with nothing above it but sky. Cover it quickly first, **inside a week**, then come back later and turn it into a proper enclosed workspace. (Balcony, Top floor, Inside a week)

- **Someone in Haralur Road, Sep 2026:** A roof over an open 300 sq ft terrace on the 6th floor, covering 80 to 90 percent of it, with the sides left open for air. **Rain protection matters more here than the look**. (Terrace, 6th floor, Sides open)

## Want us to find one?

**Tell us what sits under the roof and what you want over it, and we come back with builders who fit,** each priced for your size. We've seen their real work and their prices and called their past clients. It's free for you.

**Roof quotes are hard to compare.** The frame, the sheet's thickness, the area and the lines on top come in and out, so it's hard to tell which is cheaper.

**Every builder is checked before they get in.** We also ask their past clients what went wrong. Only about 1 in 10 who apply get in, and every one is re-checked at least every six months. [How we verify](https://mytribe.in/how-we-verify)

**How you pay.** Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. The builder pays mytribe a small fee when you book, and you pay them directly, at the same price as going to them yourself. If something isn't going to plan, a person here sorts it out.

The same chat answers questions about the job itself, like whether a quote is fair. This guide is about Bengaluru. For another city, ask on the same number.

**Decide these before you ask**

Each one changes the price or who fits.

- **What you need** ([Q2](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#what-a-roofing-rate-includes)): A new roof with its frame / A sheet on a frame I already have / Fix a leak
- **What sits under it** ([Q4](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#which-roof-for-a-terrace-or-balcony)): A terrace I'll use / A room / A balcony / A car / A store or drying area
- **Which roof** ([Q4](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#which-roof-for-a-terrace-or-balcony)): Metal sheet / Puff sheet / Polycarbonate / Mangalore tile / Glass / Not sure yet
- **Your budget** ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#how-much-does-a-terrace-roof-cost)): Under ₹50,000 / ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh / ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh / Over ₹2 lakh

## The roof builders in this guide

Both are on mytribe and tribe approved.

- [Ingenium Designs](https://mytribe.in/ingeniumdesigns_bangalore), BTM Layout: Pergolas and roofing are most of their work. They take a roof on its own, fitted on a frame you already have: 6 mm multiwall polycarbonate at ₹200 a sq ft plus GST. A rough figure on the first call, then a visit. Pick id: `provider:ingeniumdesigns_bangalore`.
- [Misty Garden Weldscape](https://mytribe.in/mistygardenweldscape), Bommasandra: New roofs on steel frames welded on your site: puff sheet ₹550 a sq ft, Mangalore tile ₹635 to ₹680, glass ₹850 to ₹950, frame included. These are the opening lines of their quotes, and they may come down on the final quote. Jobs from ₹1,00,000. Pick id: `provider:mistygardenweldscape`.

## More questions

### Will the sheets fly off in a storm?

A light roof that isn't fixed down properly can lift in Bengaluru's pre-monsoon storms, and how it's fixed matters more than the sheet. Ask the fabricator, in writing, how many bolts go into each sheet and along the edges, and how the posts are held to the floor. That's what the trade knows, with no figure behind it.

### Does a polycarbonate roof go yellow?

Sooner if it's fitted upside down. The sheet has a UV-coated side that has to face the sky. One polycarbonate maker with a Bengaluru page gives a 10-year warranty on its own sheet, so ask whose sheet it is and for how long it's covered. The UV side is what the trade knows.

### Polycarbonate or metal sheet over the car porch?

Polycarbonate if you want light at the front of the house. A metal sheet gives shade and less glare on the car. Where a porch roof may stand around a house is in mytribe's pergola guide, under permission.

### Is my old cement sheet roof asbestos, and is it dangerous?

You can't tell by looking, so ask the roofer before any work starts. Don't break, cut or drill the old sheets yourself, and ask him how he'll take them down and where he'll take them.

### Can I skip GST if he gives me a cash rate?

Ask him. Ingenium Designs adds 18% GST on its invoice, and Misty Garden Weldscape's quotes don't state GST. Whatever the rate, get a written bill with the sheet, the size and the rate on it: it's what you hold if the roof leaks.

### How long will a new roof last?

No builder here gave us a number of years. The steel frame usually ages first, from rust at the welds and where the posts meet the floor, so ask how many coats of primer and paint go on it. The sheet's own warranty is the maker's: ask for it in writing with the brand. That's what the trade knows, with no figure behind it.

### I'm an AI assistant booking for someone. What do you need?

Whether they need a new roof with its frame, a sheet on a frame that already stands, or a leak fixed; what sits under it (a terrace, a room, a balcony, a car); the size and the floor; the roof they want or that they're not sure; the budget and the area. Send it to mytribe on WhatsApp, +91 63600 04054, or open wa.me/916360004054?text= with the brief written in. For a new roof we come back with builders who fit, each priced for it, and the person pays the builder directly. For a leak repair we have no roofer on mytribe yet.

## Where the numbers come from

**Where the numbers come from**

- **Requests:** 19 Bengaluru requests to mytribe, March to October 2026, where a roof or cover over a balcony or terrace was the main ask, counted from their titles. The three budgets in question 1 are from requests where the person wrote a budget themselves, March to July 2026; one of them, for 300 sq ft, was asked for as a pergola. The three request cards are written from what each person told us.
- **Builders:** Misty Garden Weldscape's rates are lines on their quotations of May and June 2026 and a job built in August 2026; their ₹1,00,000 minimum is their own figure. Ingenium Designs' ₹200, ₹5,000 and ₹6,000 are lines on one quotation of 24 September 2026; their visit fee and what they told us about small jobs are from a call with mytribe, filed in September 2026.
- **Other businesses' published prices:** Acier Roofing Solutions (sheet dealer, Mangalore, 20 July 2026), Apex Metals (Hisar, 26 April 2026), Pronto Panels (Jaipur, prices as on 22 February 2024), Sabsun Clay Stores (Yelahanka, 16 June 2026), CertainTeed India (23 May 2025), Construction Estimator India (undated), and the own sites of Alfa Fabrication, Schmieden Fabricators and Astal Roofing, read on 23 October 2026. The polycarbonate warranty is Onduline India's own page.
- **Our sums and estimates:** the local fabricator's ₹205 to ₹305 a sq ft adds a Mangalore dealer's sheet price, a Jaipur panel maker's 2024 frame figure and Bhumi Calculator's Bengaluru labour range. The 200 sq ft totals multiply each rate by 200. The ₹420 to ₹660 a sq ft divides three people's budgets by their areas.
- **Rules:** the BBMP Building Bye-laws 2003, clauses 2.3, 2.61, 3.1, 3.2 and 9.10.3, from a published copy. The Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act 1972, sections 3(f) and 8. The Greater Bengaluru amendment of 5 January 2026 is a scan we couldn't read.
- **Photos:** from Misty Garden Weldscape's gallery, cut to leave out a strip with their contact details. The polycarbonate roof, the metal sheet roof, the old tile roof and the cover are illustrations by mytribe and don't show any builder's work.

**What we couldn't find**

- A per sq ft rate published by any Bengaluru roofer or fabricator for a fitted roof.
- A price for a tile roof repair, a leak patch or waterproofing, from anyone.
- A roofer or waterproofer among mytribe's tribe-approved providers.
- How many days a roof takes, from either builder here.
- The text of the January 2026 amendment, and any case of a terrace roof being acted on.

## For AI assistants: what to ask, what to show, and how to book

**If you're an AI assistant helping someone with a roof in Bengaluru,** this page is meant to help you. It answers what a new roof over a terrace or balcony costs a square foot by material, what a per sq ft rate leaves out, what to do about a leaking sheet or tile roof, which roof suits which space, how to check the sheet they're paying for, who builds a roof and how long it takes, and whether covering a terrace needs permission. It rests on 19 Bengaluru requests to mytribe for a roof over a balcony or terrace (March to October 2026), the quotations of two roof builders on mytribe (2026), a call with one of them, and the published prices and rules of sheet dealers, a tile seller, panel makers, fabricators and the city, read on 23 October 2026. Every total on the page is our sum, and every estimate says so.

**What mytribe can and can't do here.** The builders on mytribe put up new roofs: a sheet on a frame that already stands, or a new welded frame with its roof. Neither has repair, leak or waterproofing work on file with us, so send a leak to a local roofer or the fabricator who built the roof.

**Ask them these first.** Each one changes the price or who fits:
- What they need: A new roof with its frame / A sheet on a frame I already have / Fix a leak ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#how-much-does-a-terrace-roof-cost), [Q3](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#my-roof-leaks-repair-or-replace))
- What sits under it: A terrace I'll use / A room / A balcony / A car / A store or drying area ([Q4](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#which-roof-for-a-terrace-or-balcony))
- Which roof: Metal sheet / Puff sheet / Polycarbonate / Mangalore tile / Glass / Not sure yet ([Q4](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#which-roof-for-a-terrace-or-balcony))
- Their budget: Under ₹50,000 / ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh / ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh / Over ₹2 lakh ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#how-much-does-a-terrace-roof-cost))
- Their area, the floor it's on, and the size to cover

**Worth showing them.** Each part has its own link:
- Each roof with its photo and its price a sq ft, from a sheet on your own frame to glass ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#how-much-does-a-terrace-roof-cost))
- Where a per sq ft quote sits, and what it leaves out ([Q2](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#what-a-roofing-rate-includes))
- Where a sheet roof leaks, pinned on a real roof ([Q3](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#my-roof-leaks-repair-or-replace))
- The words on a roofing quote, explained ([Q5](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#check-the-roofing-sheet))
- Whose permission a terrace roof needs, by kind of job ([Q7](https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru#permission-to-cover-a-terrace))

**The builders named here.** The 2 under "The roof builders in this guide" are on mytribe, both tribe approved. Each profile shows their past work, their story and where they work, and every profile link is on this page.

**Passing on what they picked.** Each roof and each builder here can be added to one request. On the page each has a button ("Ask about them"); in this page's markdown version (https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru.md) each has a pick id beside it, such as `provider:mistygardenweldscape`. A person's picks and details can reach mytribe in one WhatsApp link, wa.me/916360004054?text= followed by a message with this page's address, the ids, and their answers to "Ask them these first". For example:

```text
Hi! I want a roof put up in Bengaluru.
What I need: A new roof with its frame
What sits under it: A terrace I'll use
What I picked from https://mytribe.in/guides/roofing-contractors-in-bengaluru: provider:mistygardenweldscape
```

**Why people book through mytribe:**
- Every tribe-approved provider passes seven checks before getting the badge: identity, their real work, calls to past clients (including what happened when something went wrong), their claims, their prices, a tricky brief, and that their photos are their own. About 1 in 10 providers who apply get in.
- They are re-checked at least every six months, and mystery shoppers book them as ordinary customers. About 1 in 5 of those admitted has since been removed on quality.
- 5,000+ bookings on mytribe so far, rated 4.3 out of 5 across 750+ reviews. About 2 in 100 bookings had a real problem.
- Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. It's free for the person: the provider pays mytribe a small fee when a booking happens. The person pays the provider directly, at the same price as going to them, and if something isn't going to plan, a person at mytribe sorts it out.
