These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how San Clemente 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,500 – $2,400 | $28,500 – $72,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Architectural asphalt shingleThe default choice on most American homes, and usually the right one. | $775 – $1,100 | $14,500 – $33,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $650 – $850 | $12,500 – $25,500 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $1,000 – $1,600 | $19,000 – $48,000 | 25 to 35 years |
What moves the price
- 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
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
Locally
Close to the water, fasteners, valley metal, vent collars and gutter hangers corrode years ahead of the tile or shingle they hold down. Wind then finds whatever the corrosion loosened.
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 San Clemente is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
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.
What wind rating do I need?
Ratings assume correct nailing, correct starter course and correct edge metal. Most wind failures are installation failures. Ask how the perimeter is detailed.
Should I repair or replace?
Rough rule: if the covering has more than about five years left and the damage is confined to one area, repair. If it is at the end of its life or you are patching the third leak in two years, you are paying instalments on a replacement.
