Pricing a full re-roof in Orange
The honest answer to "what does a new roof cost" is a range, and then a list of the things that move you within it.

Nobody will call you about this request unless you say yes to a company by name.
These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Orange 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 – $1,000 | $13,000 – $29,000 | 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 – $21,000 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $850 – $1,300 | $17,000 – $37,500 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,300 – $2,100 | $26,000 – $61,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,600 – $2,600 | $32,000 – $75,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
Locally
Dry offshore wind lifts material that damp coastal air had been holding down. Most wind losses here happen on a handful of nights a year.
Treat this as the shape of the market, not a price. The only real number comes from somebody who has been on your roof.
These are estimates, not quotes. They are compiled from national installed ranges adjusted for California costs and for how Orange is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
We require a licence number and current insurance from every contractor in the network. Verify it yourself anyway. Your state licensing board has a free lookup, and it takes two minutes.
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.
How quickly will someone call?
Most requests are picked up the same day, often within an hour. Emergencies are prioritised. If you have not heard anything by the next morning, check voicemail — contractors usually call from a mobile.
