These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Laguna Woods 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. | $625 – $975 | $11,500 – $27,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,300 – $2,100 | $23,500 – $59,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,600 – $3,400 | $29,000 – $95,000 | 50 to 80 years |
What moves the price
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
Locally
Nothing dramatic happens. A slope stays damp most mornings for thirty years, and eventually that is enough.
Expect a small percentage of breakage on any tile job. An honest quote says so and prices the replacements.

Questions about price
Should I repair or replace?
It depends almost entirely on how much life is left in the material. Ask any contractor who inspects it to give you a number of years and a reason. If two of them independently say the same thing, believe it.
Do I need a permit?
Yes, in nearly every jurisdiction a re-roof is permitted work. A contractor who suggests skipping it is telling you something useful about how they work.
Are you a roofing company?
No. Foundry Roof Works is a free matching service. We do not hold a roofing licence, we do not employ crews, and we never come to your house. We pass your request to independent local contractors who do the work and who you hire directly.
