These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how West Covina 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 – $1,000 | $12,500 – $31,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,300 – $2,100 | $24,500 – $65,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,700 – $3,300 | $32,500 – $102,500 | 50 to 80 years |
What moves the price
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
Locally
These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.
Expect a small percentage of breakage on any tile job. An honest quote says so and prices the replacements.

Questions about price
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.
What if the decking is rotten underneath?
Some of it usually is. The important thing is that the price per sheet is agreed in writing before the tear-off, so the conversation on day two is about quantity rather than rate.
I have solar panels. What happens to them?
Panels have to be detached and reset. Budget for it separately and coordinate the two trades. Never put a new solar array on a roof with under ten years left.
