Which type of roof is best for California?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shingle roofs work quite well in California. Many clients love them because they are cheaper to buy and install. Repairs are also easier because you can simply replace the damaged parts if the rest of the roof<\/a> is sound. Composite shingles can last about 30 years with good care and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if asphalt shingles are not your cup of tea, there are many other new roof options to compare. There are metal sheets that last longer but these need professional installation and their repair is more costly than that of shingles. There are also clay tiles that offer excellent insulation against the heat and give off that Mediterranean look. Other options include flat roofs, wood shingles, and slate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does a new roof in Los Angeles cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles roofing installation<\/strong> will include the cost of labor and the cost of the actual roofing materials. You may also need to carry out a roof inspection. If you want to have the roof or the attic insulated at the same time, additional costs will apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the labor costs, a roofing contractor will charge you anywhere between $5 and $6 per square foot. The cost varies depending on the complexity of the material being handled. Metal roofs, clay tiles, and slate cost more to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the cost of buying the materials, shingles come in cheapest at about $1.50 per square foot. Metal sheets cost about 3 times that, or more depending on the type, gauge, and finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are roofs so expensive?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you look at the costs of laying a new roof as well as the cost of purchasing the roofing itself, the numbers for each square feet look quite fair. However, the actual total cost of the roof installation<\/strong> balloons exponentially when you calculate the total surface to be covered. So even with a cheaper roofing option such as shingles, you still end up paying quite a substantial amount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is important to remember that a roof makes up one of the largest surfaces on your property. In many cases, it is the largest. Also, remember that unlike other parts of your house, roofing is done once in a very long time. You can replace your driveway or wall paint very many times over very many years before replacing your roof<\/a>. So take it as a long-term investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
