These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Carson 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 – $975 | $12,000 – $27,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,700 | $27,000 – $75,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- Whether the fasteners and flashing are specified for coastal exposure
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
Locally
It is why two identical houses on the same street can be ten years apart on the same roof, depending on which way they face.
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 Carson is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Is moss on the roof a problem?
It matters more than it looks. The damage is not the moss, it is the permanent damp underneath it. Kill it and brush it off gently; never pressure wash asphalt.
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.
Are you a roofing company?
No, and it matters that we say so. We are a referral service, not a contractor. The roofing work, the licence, the insurance and the warranty all sit with the independent company you choose.
