These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Tustin 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 – $975 | $13,000 – $30,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $525 – $700 | $10,500 – $21,500 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $875 – $1,300 | $17,500 – $40,500 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,300 – $2,000 | $26,000 – $62,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,600 | $30,000 – $80,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
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
What if the decking is rotten underneath?
Expect a few sheets on most older roofs. Get the per-sheet rate in the contract. Open-ended decking charges are where a fixed price stops being fixed.
Should I take the cheapest quote?
Only if it is the same roof. Most large gaps between quotes are scope gaps. Ask the cheapest contractor which of the other quotes items they have left out, and why.
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.
