- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.

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.
| Repair | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency tarp-over | $425 – $1,300 | Stops the water tonight. It is not a repair. |
| Small leak, flashing or a few shingles | $500 – $1,300 | A pipe boot, a bit of step flashing, a handful of blown-off shingles. |
| Valley, chimney or skylight reflash | $975 – $3,100 | Where most leaks actually start. Rarely the shingles themselves. |
| Section replacement, one slope | $1,600 – $5,500 | New material on part of the roof. Colour matching is the hard part. |
| Rotten decking, per sheet replaced | $100 – $200 | Only found once the old covering is off. Always budget for some. |
| Structural repair with decking and framing | $3,600 – $12,000 | Long-running leaks get expensive because of what they soak, not what they break. |
What moves the price
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- 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
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
Ask for the remaining life of the covering alongside the repair price. Those two numbers together are what the decision actually rests on.

Questions about price
How long does a re-roof take?
A straightforward asphalt roof on an average house is one to three days. Tile, slate and complex rooflines take longer, and weather stops work more often than anything else.
Do I have to hire anyone?
Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.
What time of year is best to re-roof in Santa Ana?
Here, the long dry run from May to October is the easy window. November through March is when the phone rings hardest, which means less flexibility on dates and less room on price.
