Tile and slate prices in Lomita, CA
The most common tile job is not a replacement at all — it is a lift-and-relay, where the same tile comes off, new underlayment goes down, and the tile goes back.

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 |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,300 – $2,100 | $24,500 – $63,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,600 – $3,300 | $30,500 – $99,000 | 50 to 80 years |
What moves the price
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- 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
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
Locally
The covering will reach its rated life here. Plain galvanised fixings holding it down will not.
Expect a small percentage of breakage on any tile job. An honest quote says so and prices the replacements.

Questions about price
Does being near the ocean change what goes on the roof?
Considerably. Salt air corrodes anything ferrous, so fasteners, valley metal, vent collars, flashing and gutter hangers should be specified for coastal exposure — stainless or heavy-gauge coated, not plain galvanised. The covering usually outlives the metal holding it down.
Do I have to hire anyone?
No. Take the quotes, sit on them, compare them, or throw them away. There is nothing to cancel and nothing owed.
Can I just put a new roof over the old one?
Codes in most places allow two layers. That does not make it wise. You lose the chance to see the deck, and the next roofer has twice as much to remove.
