Roofers (Dachdecker)
How to talk to a roofer in Germany
What you are booking
A Dachdecker covers roofs, gutters and the layers under the tiles. Say whether you have a leak, a valley, a flat roof or a full new covering. Those are different visits.
Words to send
Dach roof, Rinne gutter, Gerüst scaffold, Hinterhof courtyard, Denkmal listed building. Ask for Gerüst, Entsorgung (disposal) and the days on site as separate lines.
Where the city list shows a euro range, it is the 2026 market observation from the German page, not a quote. Berlin 18.000–30.000 €, Hamburg 20.000–33.000 €, München 22.000–36.000 €, Köln 18.000–31.000 €, Frankfurt 21.000–34.000 €.
Who signs
In a rented flat the owner or the association signs for the roof. You can report the leak. Use the who-pays guide before you promise to pay a new covering yourself.
