These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Laguna Hills 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. | $675 – $975 | $13,500 – $30,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $525 – $725 | $10,500 – $22,500 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $875 – $1,300 | $17,500 – $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 | $24,000 – $65,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,700 | $30,000 – $83,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- 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
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Whether the fasteners and flashing are specified for coastal exposure
Locally
The north side of a house here ages years faster than the south side, and almost every roof gets replaced because of it.
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 Laguna Hills is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Are gutters included in a re-roof?
Normally a separate line. It is the one add-on that genuinely costs less when done at the same time.
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.
Should I take the cheapest quote?
Only if it is the same roof. Most large gaps between quotes are scope gaps. Ask the cheapest contractor which of the other quotes items they have left out, and why.
