These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Laguna Beach 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. | $875 – $1,300 | $16,000 – $36,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $750 – $975 | $13,500 – $27,500 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $1,100 – $1,800 | $20,000 – $50,500 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,700 – $2,900 | $30,500 – $81,000 | 40 to 60 years |
What moves the price
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- 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
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
Locally
Cottages from the 1920s to the 1950s have usually been re-roofed over rather than stripped. What is under the top layer decides the real price, and nobody knows what that is until the tear-off starts.
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 Beach is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Do you cover the whole Orange County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Laguna Beach and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
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 do I avoid a storm chaser?
Ask for a local address you could drive to, a state licence number you can look up, and a workmanship warranty in the company name. Out-of-town crews arrive after every big storm, do the work quickly, and are unreachable by the time a problem shows.
