These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Placentia is built. No contractor is bound by them, and nobody can price a roof they have not stood on.
| Covering | Per square | Typical whole roof | Expected life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingleThe default choice on most American homes, and usually the right one. | $650 – $950 | $11,500 – $29,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $525 – $700 | $9,500 – $21,500 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $850 – $1,300 | $15,500 – $40,500 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,200 – $2,100 | $21,500 – $65,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,700 | $27,000 – $83,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
Locally
These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.
Use these as a sanity check rather than a quote. If every number you are shown sits well outside this range in either direction, that is worth asking about.
These are estimates, not quotes. They are compiled from national installed ranges adjusted for California costs and for how Placentia is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Do I have to hire anyone?
Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
We require a licence number and current insurance from every contractor in the network. Verify it yourself anyway. Your state licensing board has a free lookup, and it takes two minutes.
Do I need a permit?
Almost certainly, for a full replacement. The contractor should pull it, and the fee should be a visible line on the quote rather than a surprise.

Free, no obligation, and your details go to no company until you say yes.
