These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Compton is built. No contractor is bound by them, and nobody can price a roof they have not stood on.
| Repair | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency tarp-over | $400 – $1,200 | Stops the water tonight. It is not a repair. |
| Small leak, flashing or a few shingles | $475 – $1,300 | A pipe boot, a bit of step flashing, a handful of blown-off shingles. |
| Valley, chimney or skylight reflash | $950 – $2,900 | Where most leaks actually start. Rarely the shingles themselves. |
| Section replacement, one slope | $1,500 – $5,300 | New material on part of the roof. Colour matching is the hard part. |
| Rotten decking, per sheet replaced | $100 – $200 | Only found once the old covering is off. Always budget for some. |
| Structural repair with decking and framing | $3,500 – $11,500 | Long-running leaks get expensive because of what they soak, not what they break. |
What moves the price
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- 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
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
If the repair quote is creeping toward a third of a replacement, get the replacement priced too before you decide.

Questions about price
Is moss on the roof a problem?
It matters more than it looks. The damage is not the moss, it is the permanent damp underneath it. Kill it and brush it off gently; never pressure wash asphalt.
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.
What happens to my information?
Your details are passed to up to three local roofing contractors so they can quote. That is the only use. You can ask us to delete them at any time, and there is a do-not-sell page for exactly that.
