# Roof replacement in Los Angeles County and Southern California

> Replace the roof when the field is worn out, you are on too many layers, or repeated leak repairs would cost more than a reroof. Tekton prices asphalt shingle, tile, metal, and low-slope systems against each other so you can see the real difference. Most single-family architectural shingle reroofs in the Los Angeles area currently fall in a broad planning range of roughly $14,000–$35,000, but the final price depends on the specific roof; tile and metal cost more.

## 2026 educational planning ranges (Southern California — not a bid or quote)

| Work | Broad planning range |
| --- | --- |
| Architectural asphalt shingle reroof | roughly $9–$16 per sq. ft. (often ~$14k–$35k) |
| Concrete or clay tile (system-dependent) | roughly $18–$40+ per sq. ft. |
| Standing-seam or panel metal | roughly $16–$35+ per sq. ft. |
| Low-slope / flat membrane (TPO, modified, etc.) | roughly $12–$28+ per sq. ft. |
| Decking replacement as needed | roughly $4–$8 per sq. ft. of decking |

Costs vary widely based on roof size, pitch, number of layers, decking condition, material choice, access, and permit requirements. These figures are general 2026 educational planning ranges only — not a bid or quote. Every roof is different. Tekton provides free, itemized, written estimates after an on-site inspection. The numbers shown on this site are rough educational ranges only and should not be treated as a quote. The only accurate price is an itemized written estimate after we inspect your roof.

## Replace the roof when the field is done — not when a salesperson needs a reroof

A full roof replacement is the right project when shingles are curling or bald across the field, tiles are sliding and the underlayment underneath is cooked, a low-slope membrane is alligatored, or you have paid for leak repairs more than once and the next storm will find a new hole. It is the wrong project when a targeted pipe-boot and valley repair will restore a roof that still has years in it.

Tekton inspects the surface and the attic, documents the condition, and puts repair and replacement numbers on paper when both are plausible. You decide with the facts. Licensed as Tekton Builders & Design, CSLB #1113385. Call 866-643-1950.

## Systems we replace — matched to the building, not a quota

Architectural asphalt shingle is the reroof we install most on Southern California houses, and it is the right default for a large share of ranch and two-story homes. It is not the only system.

- Asphalt shingle — architectural tear-off and install, including Title 24 cool-rated products. See the dedicated shingle replacement page for 2026 educational planning ranges.
- Tile — clay and concrete. Often the original look on older Pasadena, Los Feliz, and hillside homes. Underlayment under existing tile is frequently the actual failure; we will say if a recover of the felt is enough versus a full tile reset. See the dedicated tile roof replacement page.
- Metal — standing seam and exposed-fastener panels when you want longer service life and lower heat gain and the budget supports it. We price it next to shingle so the premium is honest.
- Flat and low-slope — apartment buildings, additions, and commercial membranes. Ponding, failed seams, and UV-worn cap sheets are the usual reasons these come off. See the dedicated flat roof replacement page.
- New construction and additions — we roof what the plans specify and coordinate with the builder’s schedule.

## Title 24, permits, and cool roofs

A reroof in California is a permitted job in most cities. Los Angeles (LADBS), Long Beach, Pasadena, unincorporated LA County, and Orange County cities each have their own counter, fees, and inspection sequence. We pull the permit when the job requires it and meet the inspector. Homeowners should plan a few extra days around inspection windows rather than assuming the last shingle is the last step.

Title 24 cool-roof requirements apply to many steep-slope and low-slope replacements in this climate. That means a CRRC-rated product that meets aged reflectance and emittance, not a particular brand. We specify the compliant product on the estimate. HOAs sometimes have color rules that still allow a cool-rated shingle in an approved blend — we work from the HOA list rather than fighting it on the roof.

## 2026 educational planning ranges for roof replacement

Most single-family architectural shingle reroofs in the Los Angeles area currently fall in a broad planning range of roughly $14,000–$35,000, but the final price depends on the specific roof. Homeowners often use about $9–$16 per square foot of roof as a planning figure for architectural shingle; tile systems are commonly discussed around $18–$40+ per square foot; metal around $16–$35+; and low-slope membranes around $12–$28+. None of those figures is a bid.

Costs vary widely based on roof size, pitch, number of layers, decking condition, material choice, access, and permit requirements. Chimneys, stories, and city fees move every one of those ranges. Beware of a number that is thousands below the market without a scope. Something is missing — layers, dump, flashing, or the crew. Our estimate is itemized so you can compare it to the next bid line by line. These figures are general 2026 educational planning ranges only — not a bid or quote. Every roof is different. Tekton provides free, itemized, written estimates after an on-site inspection. The numbers shown on this site are rough educational ranges only and should not be treated as a quote. The only accurate price is an itemized written estimate after we inspect your roof.

## Schedule, crew, and cleanup

Shingle reroofs are typically one to three working days. Tile and low-slope take longer. We agree on a start date, protect the property, do not leave the house open overnight in rain season, haul debris, magnet for nails, and walk the finished roof with you. Family-owned for 15+ years. The Google reviews are public.

## Warranties

Manufacturer material warranties follow the product — commonly 25 to 50 years on architectural shingle, longer marketing terms on some metal and tile systems, always with the maker’s conditions on ventilation and installation. Our workmanship warranty is written into the estimate. Verify CSLB #1113385. Call 866-643-1950.

### Should I choose shingle, tile, or metal?

Match the system to the structure, the look of the house, the HOA, and the budget. Architectural shingle is the right reroof for a large share of Los Angeles County homes. Tile belongs on houses that already carry it or were designed for it. Metal is a premium for service life and heat. We price more than one option when it is a real choice.

Yes. A reroof is permitted in most Southern California cities. Permit and inspection are part of the written scope, including Title 24 cool-roof products when required.
