These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Aliso Viejo 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. | $675 – $1,000 | $12,000 – $31,000 | 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
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
Locally
Salt carries further inland than people assume. It shows up first as rust tracks on the vents and staining below the valley metal.
The arithmetic favours metal if you are staying more than about fifteen years, and favours asphalt if you are not.
These are estimates, not quotes. They are compiled from national installed ranges adjusted for California costs and for how Aliso Viejo is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
What warranty should I expect?
Ask for both in writing: the material warranty from the manufacturer and the workmanship warranty from the contractor. The second one is the one that matters in year three, and it is only as good as the company behind it.
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.
Can I just put a new roof over the old one?
Codes in most places allow two layers. That does not make it wise. You lose the chance to see the deck, and the next roofer has twice as much to remove.
