These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how El Monte 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 | $12,500 – $26,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $525 – $750 | $10,000 – $21,000 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $875 – $1,300 | $16,500 – $36,500 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,200 – $2,100 | $23,000 – $59,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,600 | $28,500 – $73,000 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
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 El Monte is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Can I just put a new roof over the old one?
Codes in most places allow two layers. That does not make it wise. You lose the chance to see the deck, and the next roofer has twice as much to remove.
How many contractors will contact me?
Up to three. That is a hard cap, not a guideline. Three is enough to compare and few enough that your phone stays usable.
Is moss on the roof a problem?
It matters more than it looks. The damage is not the moss, it is the permanent damp underneath it. Kill it and brush it off gently; never pressure wash asphalt.
What is it going to cost?
Free, no obligation, and your details go to no company until you say yes.
