In short: On 5 October 2026 EPA sold a corrugated calibre-28 roofing sheet for Q53.50-142 (about US$7-19) depending on length and thickness, an aluzinc calibre-26 sheet for Q235-269, red tile-look sheets of 8-14 ft for Q179-399 and polycarbonate sheets for Q89.95-215. Three other sellers posted sheet prices of Q13.50 per foot (a promotion valid to 31 July 2026), Q17.75 per linear foot (a November 2025 promotion) and Q28 per linear foot for a UPVC sheet (July 2025). None of the roofers or shops whose posts we read gave a labour price, so the labour line has to come from a written quote.
USD figures use the Banguat reference rate of Q7.63456 per US dollar on 5 October 2026, rounded. See today’s exchange rate.
Sheet prices at EPA, read 5 October 2026
Prices are per sheet, as EPA’s website showed them. The per-foot column is our division of the sheet price by its length.
| Sheet | Length | Price | Per foot | USD (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corrugated, calibre 28, standard 0.20 mm | 8 / 10 / 12 ft | Q53.50 / Q66.95 / Q79.50 | Q6.63-6.70 | ~$7-10 |
| Corrugated galvanised, calibre 28, 0.29 mm (EPA lists the 12 and 14 ft sheets as 29mm) | 8 / 12 / 14 ft | Q81 / Q119 / Q142 | Q9.92-10.14 | ~$11-19 |
| Aluzinc 101, calibre 26, 0.38 mm | 12 / 14 ft | Q235 / Q269 | Q19.21-19.58 | ~$31-35 |
| Red Italian tile-look (teja italiana), calibre 26 | 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 ft | Q179 / Q225 / Q275 / Q310 | Q22.14-22.92 | ~$23-41 |
| Red Spanish tile-look (teja española), calibre 26 | 10.04 / 12 / 13.98 ft | Q279 / Q339 / Q399 | Q27.79-28.54 | ~$37-52 |
| Corrugated polycarbonate 0.65 mm, 81 cm wide | 8 / 10 / 12 ft | Q89.95 to Q139 (by length and colour) | — | ~$12-18 |
| Ribbed (greca) polycarbonate 0.8 mm, 105 cm wide | 8 / 10 / 12 ft | Q149 to Q215 (by length and colour) | — | ~$20-28 |
Trim is sold separately: a 1.22 m red Spanish-tile ridge cap (cumbrera) was Q63.95 and an 8 ft galvanised calibre-26 ridge (capote) Q45.95. The polycarbonate prices vary by colour: on the 10 ft corrugated sheet, bronze and white were Q105 and clear Q115.
Correction (5 October 2026): this table was first read on 25 September 2026, when EPA had the bronze and clear corrugated polycarbonate on sale (from Q75.95 for the 8 ft bronze sheet; Q93.95 for the 10 ft) and listed the ribbed sheets at Q175-199 and an 8.07 ft Spanish tile-look sheet at Q229. On 5 October the sales had ended, the ribbed sheets cost Q185-215 for 10-12 ft (Q149 for a new 8 ft sheet) and the 8.07 ft sheet was no longer listed; the table now shows the 5 October prices.

Labour: get it in writing
We looked for a roofer’s or builder’s own labour price for a sheet-metal roof (per square metre or per sheet) in web and TikTok searches on 25 September 2026 and did not find one. A quote you can compare should list separately:
- The sheets: type, calibre, thickness in mm, length and number.
- The structure: costaneras (steel purlins) or timber, size and spacing. Renova Comex’s July 2026 promotion priced one costanera at Q147.
- Fixings and trim: screws, ridge caps (cumbrera or capote), flashing and gutters.
- Removal of the old roof and disposal, if you are replacing one.
- Labour, as a total or per square metre, and who supplies tools and scaffolding.
- A warranty on leaks and a factura (tax invoice).
For the steel structure itself, see our welder / herrero prices; for the whole build, our construction cost page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roofing sheet cost in Guatemala?
At EPA on 5 October 2026 a corrugated calibre-28 sheet cost Q53.50 (8 ft, 0.20 mm) to Q142 (14 ft, galvanised; EPA lists it as 29mm, and the 8 ft galvanised sheet as 0.29mm). Aluzinc 101 calibre-26 sheets (0.38 mm) cost Q235 (12 ft) and Q269 (14 ft). Red tile-look calibre-26 sheets cost Q179-310 in the Italian style (8 to 14 ft) and Q279-399 in the Spanish style (10.04 to 13.98 ft). Corrugated and ribbed polycarbonate sheets cost Q89.95-215.
How much does a roofer charge to install a sheet-metal roof?
None of the shops, builders and roofers whose posts we read on 25 September 2026 gave a labour price per square metre or per sheet. Ask for a written quote that separates the sheets, the structure (costaneras or purlins), screws and flashing, and the labour.
What does calibre mean on a roofing sheet?
It is the thickness grade. In EPA’s listings the calibre-26 aluzinc sheets are 0.38 mm (the calibre-26 tile-look sheets give no thickness) and the calibre-28 sheets 0.20 mm or 0.29 mm, so two calibre-28 sheets can differ in thickness. Ask for the thickness in millimetres when you compare quotes.
