These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Cudahy 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 – $925 | $12,000 – $25,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $525 – $675 | $10,000 – $18,000 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $825 – $1,300 | $15,500 – $35,000 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,200 – $2,000 | $23,000 – $54,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,600 | $28,500 – $70,000 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
Treat this as the shape of the market, not a price. The only real number comes from somebody who has been on your roof.

Questions about price
Should I take the cheapest quote?
Only if it is the same roof. Most large gaps between quotes are scope gaps. Ask the cheapest contractor which of the other quotes items they have left out, and why.
What does a new roof cost in Cudahy?
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $12,000 to $25,000. That assumes one layer to remove and sound decking. Every quote you get should say in writing what happens if the decking is not sound.
Do I need a permit?
Yes, in nearly every jurisdiction a re-roof is permitted work. A contractor who suggests skipping it is telling you something useful about how they work.
