Tustin prices
Pricing tile work in Tustin
Tile pricing has two parts that get confused: the tile itself, which lasts decades, and the underlayment beneath it, which does not.

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 |
| 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 |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,600 – $3,300 | $32,000 – $102,500 | 50 to 80 years |
What moves the price
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
Expect a small percentage of breakage on any tile job. An honest quote says so and prices the replacements.

Questions about price
I rent. Can I use this?
Only the owner can approve roofing work. If you are renting, the fastest route is to send this to your landlord or property manager rather than gathering quotes nobody can act on.
What should I do to prepare?
Clear the driveway, protect attic storage from falling dust, and plan for two loud days. Agree in advance where the dumpster goes and who sweeps for nails.
Why three quotes and not one?
One quote is a number with no context. Three gives you a range, and the conversation about why they differ is where you learn what you are actually buying.
