Artesia prices
Roof replacement cost in Artesia, CA
Two houses on the same street can differ by a third on the same job. Pitch, layers, decking and access account for nearly all of it.
Three questions about your home
No cost to you. Contractors pay us, you do not.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Artesia and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- 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.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Artesia 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 | $13,000 – $29,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $500 – $700 | $10,000 – $21,000 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $850 – $1,300 | $17,000 – $39,000 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,200 – $2,000 | $24,000 – $60,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,400 – $2,600 | $28,000 – $78,000 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
Locally
These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.
Treat this as the shape of the market, not a price. The only real number comes from somebody who has been on your roof.
These are estimates, not quotes. They are compiled from national installed ranges adjusted for California costs and for how Artesia is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Do you cover the whole Los Angeles County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Artesia and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
Should I repair or replace?
It depends almost entirely on how much life is left in the material. Ask any contractor who inspects it to give you a number of years and a reason. If two of them independently say the same thing, believe it.
Is moss on the roof a problem?
Yes, eventually. Moss holds water against the shingle and lifts the edges as it thickens. Zinc or copper strip at the ridge suppresses it. Pressure washing an asphalt roof strips the granules and does more harm than the moss did.
