Irvine prices
Metal roofing prices in Irvine, CA
The gap between standing seam and exposed-fastener panel is nearly as large as the gap between metal and asphalt, so "a metal roof" is not one price.

These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Irvine 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 – $950 | $11,500 – $29,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,600 | $27,000 – $80,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Whether the fasteners and flashing are specified for coastal exposure
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
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.
Ask any contractor quoting metal to show you a standing-seam job they finished several years ago. The edges will tell you what you need to know.

Questions about price
Do you cover the whole Orange County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Irvine and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
Are gutters included in a re-roof?
Normally a separate line. It is the one add-on that genuinely costs less when done at the same time.
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.
What is it going to cost?
No cost. We email you once when a provider near you can take it on.
