What a tile roof costs in Montebello
Very few roofs need new tile. A great many need new underlayment under perfectly good tile.
Or call (213) 671-0041Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Montebello and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Montebello 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. | $675 – $975 | $13,500 – $27,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,300 – $2,100 | $26,000 – $59,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,600 – $3,300 | $32,000 – $92,500 | 50 to 80 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
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
Expect a small percentage of breakage on any tile job. An honest quote says so and prices the replacements.

Questions about price
Do I have to hire anyone?
No. Take the quotes, sit on them, use them to argue with your insurer, or throw them away. There is nothing to cancel and nothing owed.
Why three quotes and not one?
One quote is a number with no context. Three gives you a range, and the conversation about why they differ is where you learn what you are actually buying.
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.
