Paramount prices
Flat and low-slope prices in Paramount
A flat roof does not shed water; it holds it back. That makes seams and edges the whole job, and the whole price.

These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Paramount 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 – $1,000 | $12,000 – $29,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $500 – $700 | $9,500 – $20,500 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $850 – $1,300 | $16,000 – $37,500 | 25 to 35 years |
What moves the price
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
Locally
These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.
Be careful with coatings sold as replacements. Coating a sound roof buys years; coating a failed one buys a fresh colour.

Questions about price
How quickly will someone call?
Most requests are picked up the same day, often within an hour. Emergencies are prioritised. If you have not heard anything by the next morning, check voicemail — contractors usually call from a mobile.
Can I stay in the house while it is done?
Yes, though it is loud, and things will fall off shelves in the garage. Move cars out of the driveway and take anything fragile off the walls of the top floor.
Do you handle commercial buildings?
We do. It is a different set of contractors — commercial and low-slope work is a separate trade from residential re-roofing — so answering the property question accurately matters.
What is it going to cost?
No cost. We email you once when a provider near you can take it on.
