How much does it cost to replace a roof in California?
Roof replacement in California costs $9,500–$45,000 in 2026 for a typical single-family home. Asphalt shingle lands at $9.5K–$22K, concrete tile $18K–$38K, standing-seam metal $28K–$45K, and clay tile $32K–$60K+ depending on pitch and access.
Title 24 cool-roof requirements apply to most reroofs in California climate zones — color and reflectance impact material choice and rebate eligibility.
Tear-off and disposal add $1.50–$3.50/sqft. Replacing rotten sheathing adds $4–$8/sqft of affected area. Solar removal/reinstall runs $2,500–$6,000 if panels are present.
