Honest planning ranges, not a bid.
Small-job minimum applied: mobilization and setup cost about the same on a small roof as a mid-size one.

Replacement ranges assume a single-layer tear-off, standard 1-2 story access, and a complete new system (underlayment, standard flashings, disposal). Silicone coating assumes a sound, coatable roof, verified at inspection. Deck repairs, extra layers, permits, and unusual access are quoted after inspection. This is a planning range, not an offer or a bid; your firm number comes from a free measured takeoff.
Most roofers make you hand over your phone number to see a price. Here are our working ranges, per square foot of roof area, full tear-off and replacement included. They come from recent NRG bids in Ventura County plus current local material and labor pricing.
The Ventura County workhorse: tear-off, synthetic underlayment, new flashings, and dimensional composition shingle. Presidential (shake-style) shingle prices above this range.
Concrete tile, installed complete with new underlayment and flashings. Clay tile and specialty profiles run higher, often $15-$25/sq ft. Heavier roofs may need framing review.
Torch-applied modified bitumen for flat and low-slope roofs: the standard granulated cap-sheet system over a mechanically attached base, with new edge metal and flashings.
When the tile outlives the felt: we lift and stack your existing tile, tear off the failed underlayment, install new underlayment and flashings, then re-lay your tile with an allowance for broken pieces. Clay and specialty profiles price toward the high end.
100% silicone coating over an existing flat or low-slope roof: cleaning, seam and penetration treatment, then a full-thickness reflective coat. Restores and waterproofs without a tear-off, typically at about half the cost of replacement. Roof must be sound enough to coat; we verify that on the inspection.
A repair is priced by what's wrong and how hard it is to reach, so the calculator's Repair tab uses whole-job bands from our actual Ventura County repair work. Two-story access adds roughly 15% for safety setup.
A handful of missing or wind-lifted shingles, a pipe-boot or vent reseal: one spot, in and out with the leak stopped.
Flashing rework at a chimney, wall, or skylight; a tile section relaid; a flat-roof patch: the most common leak fixes we do.
Multiple problem areas, a valley rebuild, or a whole section. Above this band, replacement often becomes the smarter buy; we'll give you both numbers straight.
One layer tears off at the base price. A second (or third) layer means more labor and more disposal weight: the most common reason a roof lands above the midpoint.
Rot and termite damage hide under the old roof. We carry a wood-repair allowance, photograph anything we find, and price repairs before they're covered up, never as a surprise.
Steep roofs and second-story or tight-access homes take more labor and safety setup. Simple walkable one-story roofs price toward the low end.
Chimneys, skylights, solar mounts, and wall transitions all need flashing work. A cut-up roof with many penetrations costs more per foot than a clean gable.
Adding rigid polyiso insulation under a torch-down system improves energy performance and may be code-required on some projects; it adds material cost per square foot.
City permit and inspection fees, gutters, and skylight replacement are quoted separately so you're comparing bids apples-to-apples. We spell out every inclusion and exclusion in writing.
It's an honest planning range, not a bid. The ranges come from recent NRG bids in Ventura County and current local material and labor pricing, so most straightforward roofs land inside them. What the calculator can't see (extra layers, deck rot, tricky access) is exactly what our free measured takeoff is for. The written bid you get after that is firm.
Yes. Every range assumes a full single-layer tear-off, disposal, and a complete new system: underlayment, standard flashings, and the roofing itself. On a tile re-set the tear-off is the old underlayment — your existing tile is lifted, stacked, and reused. Extra layers of old roofing and wood repairs are the most common additions, and they're always priced before we proceed.
Mobilization, setup, safety equipment, and disposal cost roughly the same on a small roof as a mid-size one, so very small roofs can't scale down linearly. On the smallest jobs (roughly 500 square feet and under, depending on the system) the calculator applies a realistic minimum instead of showing a number no contractor could honor.
By the job, not the square foot. Most of our repairs land in three bands: minor (~$400-$900), standard (~$900-$2,500), and larger (~$2,500-$6,000), with about 15% added for two-story access. The Repair tab on the calculator walks you through it. One honest caveat: a leak has to be diagnosed on the roof, because the ceiling stain rarely sits under the actual hole. And if you have storm damage right now, skip the calculator and call us for emergency tarping; we answer nights and weekends.
Concrete tile is the value option and what our calculator range reflects. Clay and specialty-profile tile cost more in material and take more specialized labor, often $15-$25 per square foot installed. Both get all-new underlayment and flashings; on many tile roofs the tile itself outlives the underlayment, and a tile re-set (the calculator's Tile Re-Set option: reusing your existing tile over new underlayment) can be the smarter buy. We'll tell you if that's your situation.
On most tile roofs the tile outlives the underlayment beneath it. A tile re-set lifts and stacks your existing tile, tears off the failed underlayment, installs new underlayment and flashings, and re-lays your own tile with an allowance for broken pieces. In Ventura County it typically runs $7-$12 per square foot — real savings over the $9.50-$16 of a full tile replacement when your tile is still sound. If the tile itself is failing, we'll tell you straight and price both options.
A 100% silicone restoration typically runs $3.50-$5.50 per square foot in Ventura County: cleaning, seam and penetration treatment, then a full-thickness reflective silicone coat over your existing flat or low-slope roof. No tear-off, no disposal, and the white surface reflects heat, so it usually lands at about half the cost of a replacement. The honest catch: the existing roof has to be sound enough to coat. Saturated insulation or a failing deck means coating would seal problems in, and we will tell you that on the inspection instead of selling you a coating that fails.
We come out, get on the roof, and do a real measured takeoff. Then you get a written scope and a firm price with the 5-year workmanship guarantee attached, typically within one business day of the visit. No pressure, no obligation, and the number you sign is the number you pay.
