Lomita prices
Is metal worth the premium here?
The gap between standing seam and exposed-fastener panel is nearly as large as the gap between metal and asphalt, so "a metal roof" is not one price.

These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Lomita 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. | $625 – $975 | $12,000 – $29,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,600 – $2,600 | $30,500 – $78,000 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
Locally
The covering will reach its rated life here. Plain galvanised fixings holding it down will not.
Ask any contractor quoting metal to show you a standing-seam job they finished several years ago. The edges will tell you what you need to know.

Questions about price
Do you cover the whole Los Angeles County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Lomita and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
I rent. Can I use this?
Only the owner can approve roofing work. If you are renting, the fastest route is to send this to your landlord or property manager rather than gathering quotes nobody can act on.
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.
