Roofing prices in San Diego
No price is published here, because a number given before the roof has been read would be invented. The roofer sets the price on site and writes it into a scope, line by line.
Two jobs that sound the same on the phone can differ widely on the roof. A cracked tile and a re-tile of a slope are both called a roof repair, and their scopes are not comparable.
The table below names the drivers. It does not name a figure for any of them.
| Driver | Why it moves the quote |
|---|---|
| Roof material | Clay tile, shingle and flat membrane each need their own crew, fixings and tools |
| Exposure | Salt air on the coast and sun and heat inland change the metal, the fixings and the finish |
| Layers and deck | A second or third layer, or a soft deck, can turn a repair into a tear-off |
| Access | Narrow lots, steep pitches and shared stairs add time and change the equipment |
| Scope lines | Each line named in the scope is a part of the quote that can be checked |

Five things that move your quote
Material and profile
Clay tile needs boards and careful lifting, a membrane needs seam work and a shingle needs a nail line set in the cool of the morning.
Exposure to salt, sun and wind
The sea side takes salt and the sunny side takes heat. Each changes the materials and the fixings, and the scope names the reason for the choice.
Layers, deck and attic
The number of coverings and the state of the deck decide whether a job is a repair or a strip, and the attic shows what the covering hides.
Access and protection
The path for materials, the protection of the walls and the yard, and the notice to occupants are lines in the scope.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a rough figure over the phone?
No. A figure given without seeing the roof would be a guess, and the figure that comes after the visit would then look like a change. The roofer reads the roof and writes the scope.
Why does the scope list each line?
So two scopes can be laid side by side and compared on the same lines. A total with no lines cannot be checked.
