Roof Replacement in the San Gabriel Valley
Roof Replacement Get matched with a vetted local pro. Free inspection, honest report, zero pressure.
When repair isn't enough — when your existing roof is past its useful life or has suffered widespread storm damage — a full replacement is the right call. SGV Roofs connects you with licensed pros who handle material consultation, permitting, complete tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, new roof installation, and final cleanup. You get both manufacturer and workmanship warranties in writing from the contractor, plus financing options if you need them. SGV Roofs is an independent referral resource — all work is performed by independent, licensed California contractors. (For brand-new construction or additions where there's no existing roof, see Roof Installation.)

Roof Replacement — frequently asked
How much does roof replacement cost in the San Gabriel Valley?+
Most SGV residential replacements run $12,000 to $35,000 depending on square footage, material, complexity, and access. Tile replacements run higher than composition shingle. Your free inspection gives you a fixed-price estimate from the matched contractor.
How long does the project take?+
Most single-family replacements complete in 2 to 5 days from tear-off to final cleanup. Larger or more complex roofs (multi-story, multiple slope changes, complex flashing) can take longer.
Replacement or repair — how do I know which I need?+
Roofs under 15 years old usually qualify for repair. Roofs 20+ years old, with multiple past repairs, or with widespread material failure usually need replacement. The free inspection tells you honestly which side of that line your roof is on.
Do I need to leave the house during the work?+
No. The work happens entirely outside. You may want to plan for noise during the tear-off day (the loudest day) but you can stay in the home throughout the project.
What roofing material should I choose?+
Composition (asphalt) shingle is the most common in the SGV — affordable, with a 25 to 30 year lifespan. Tile (clay or concrete) is common in older homes and lasts 50+ years but costs more upfront. Metal is gaining traction for modern homes. The matched contractor will walk you through the pros and cons for your specific home.
Are permits included in the price?+
Yes. Pulling permits in your city is included in the fixed-price estimate. The contractor handles all city interactions on your behalf.
What warranties come with replacement?+
Two warranties: a manufacturer warranty on the materials (typically 25 to 50 years) and a workmanship warranty from the contractor (typically 5 to 15 years). Both are delivered in writing at project completion.
Can I finance a roof replacement?+
Most contractors in our network offer financing options, ranging from 0% promotional periods to longer-term plans. Financing details vary by contractor — they'll walk you through specific options at the estimate stage.
What if my insurance is paying for the replacement?+
If your replacement is insurance-covered (typically for storm or wind damage), the matched contractor coordinates with your adjuster, supplements the claim if scope is missed, and you only pay your deductible. Mention insurance involvement at the inspection stage.
