These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Claremont 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 | $13,000 – $27,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $525 – $675 | $10,500 – $19,500 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $850 – $1,300 | $17,000 – $37,500 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,200 – $2,000 | $24,000 – $58,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,600 | $30,000 – $75,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
Locally
The south and west slopes fail first and fail visibly. Everything else follows some years later.
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 Claremont is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
It is leaking right now. What do I do?
Move what you can out of the way, put a bucket under it, and if there is a bulge in the ceiling put a small hole at its lowest point to let the water out in one place rather than bringing the whole panel down. Then mark your request as an emergency — those go out first.
What should I do to prepare?
Clear the driveway, protect attic storage from falling dust, and plan for two loud days. Agree in advance where the dumpster goes and who sweeps for nails.
How many contractors will contact me?
No more than three. We picked that number because two quotes is not enough to spot an outlier and five is an ordeal.
What is it going to cost?
Free, no obligation, and your details go to no company until you say yes.
