Claremont prices
Tile and slate prices in Claremont, CA
Tile pricing has two parts that get confused: the tile itself, which lasts decades, and the underlayment beneath it, which does not.
Or call (909) 788-2516Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Claremont and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
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 |
| 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 |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,700 – $3,200 | $34,000 – $93,000 | 50 to 80 years |
What moves the price
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
Locally
The south and west slopes fail first and fail visibly. Everything else follows some years later.
Ask specifically whether the quote is for new tile or for relaying the existing tile. The difference is enormous and easy to miss.

Questions about price
Should I take the cheapest quote?
Not automatically. Put the quotes side by side on layers, not on totals — underlayment, ice-and-water, drip edge, valley treatment, ventilation, decking allowance, warranty. Cheap usually means less of those, not the same roof for less money.
How long does a re-roof take?
Two days is typical for asphalt. Add days for steep pitch, multiple layers to strip, tile work, or a roof with a lot of valleys and penetrations.
Do you handle commercial buildings?
Yes. Commercial requests go to contractors who do low-slope and flat systems rather than to residential crews. Say so on the property question and it routes correctly.
What is it going to cost?
It is free, and nothing obliges you to hire anyone.
