These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Santa Ana 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 – $975 | $11,500 – $30,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,600 – $2,700 | $29,000 – $83,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- 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
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
The arithmetic favours metal if you are staying more than about fifteen years, and favours asphalt if you are not.

Questions about price
Can I stay in the house while it is done?
Most people do. Expect noise from early morning, dust in the attic, and a day where the driveway belongs to the crew.
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.
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.
