These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Long Beach 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 | $13,500 – $30,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $550 – $775 | $11,000 – $23,500 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $875 – $1,400 | $17,500 – $42,000 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,300 – $2,200 | $26,000 – $66,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,600 – $2,700 | $32,000 – $81,000 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Whether the fasteners and flashing are specified for coastal exposure
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
Locally
Far enough back that the covering wears out normally, close enough that the fixings do not. That mismatch is the local problem.
Use these as a sanity check rather than a quote. If every number you are shown sits well outside this range in either direction, that is worth asking about.
These are estimates, not quotes. They are compiled from national installed ranges adjusted for California costs and for how Long Beach is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
How long does a re-roof take?
Two days is typical for asphalt. Add days for steep pitch, multiple layers to strip, tile work, or a roof with a lot of valleys and penetrations.
Can I stay in the house while it is done?
Yes, though it is loud, and things will fall off shelves in the garage. Move cars out of the driveway and take anything fragile off the walls of the top floor.
How much deposit is normal?
A third at most, and never the full amount. Pay the balance when the job is finished and you have walked it. Some states cap the deposit by law.
