Pricing a full re-roof in Irvine

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 |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $525 – $700 | $9,500 – $21,500 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $900 – $1,300 | $16,000 – $40,500 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,200 – $2,100 | $21,500 – $65,000 | 40 to 60 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
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Whether the fasteners and flashing are specified for coastal exposure
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.
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 Irvine is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Can I stay in the house while it is done?
Most people do. Expect noise from early morning, dust in the attic, and a day where the driveway belongs to the crew.
It is leaking right now. What do I do?
Move what you can out of the way, put a bucket under it, and if there is a bulge in the ceiling put a small hole at its lowest point to let the water out in one place rather than bringing the whole panel down. Then mark your request as an emergency — those go out first.
Are you a roofing company?
No. Old Mill Roofing Co. 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.
What is it going to cost?
No cost. We email you once when a provider near you can take it on.
