Villa Park prices
Is metal worth the premium here?
The gap between standing seam and exposed-fastener panel is nearly as large as the gap between metal and asphalt, so "a metal roof" is not one price.

These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Villa Park 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. | $650 – $975 | $11,500 – $27,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,500 | $27,000 – $70,000 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
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.
The arithmetic favours metal if you are staying more than about fifteen years, and favours asphalt if you are not.

Questions about price
Can I just put a new roof over the old one?
Often you legally can, and it is usually a poor idea. Overlaying hides the condition of the decking, adds weight, shortens the life of the new shingles by trapping heat, and doubles the cost of the next tear-off.
How long should a roof last here?
Rated life and real life are different numbers. Here, ordinary rated life is a fair guide, provided the attic breathes. Ventilation and the quality of the installation move that more than the brand does.
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.
