These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Rancho Palos Verdes 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. | $700 – $975 | $13,500 – $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. | $550 – $725 | $10,500 – $20,500 | 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. | $1,300 – $2,100 | $24,500 – $59,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,600 – $2,700 | $30,500 – $75,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
Locally
Airborne salt corrodes anything ferrous — nails, valley metal, vent collars, gutter hangers — years before the covering itself is worn out.
Treat this as the shape of the market, not a price. The only real number comes from somebody who has been on your roof.

Questions about price
Why does ventilation keep coming up?
Because a badly ventilated attic cooks the roof from underneath and takes years off it. Intake at the eaves and exhaust at the ridge, in balance. It is cheap during a re-roof and awkward afterwards.
I have solar panels. What happens to them?
Panels have to be detached and reset. Budget for it separately and coordinate the two trades. Never put a new solar array on a roof with under ten years left.
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.
