| Covering | Per square | Typical whole roof | Expected life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingleThe default choice on most American homes, and usually the right one. | $675 – $950 | $12,000 – $29,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,300 – $2,100 | $23,500 – $65,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,700 – $3,400 | $30,500 – $105,500 | 50 to 80 years |
What moves the price
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- 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
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
Locally
It is a slow version of the same story they tell on the sand: the roof outlives its own fastenings unless somebody specified for it.
Ask specifically whether the quote is for new tile or for relaying the existing tile. The difference is enormous and easy to miss.

Questions about price
What does a new roof cost in San Juan Capistrano?
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $12,000 to $29,500. 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.
What should I do to prepare?
Move the cars out, take pictures off the top-floor walls, cover anything stored in the attic, and put pets somewhere else for the loud days. Expect nails in the driveway however careful the crew is — ask whether they run a magnet at the end.
Is this really free?
It is free to you. Contractors pay to receive homeowner requests in their area. That is the entire business model, and we would rather say so plainly than pretend otherwise.
