Cost to replace a roof in Tecate

The final quote depends on roof size, access, pitch, layers, deck condition, permit scope, and material. These local ranges help you spot bids that are wildly high or suspiciously low.

Architectural shingle $15,500-$25,500

Fastest install, lower upfront cost, best for many ranch, craftsman, and rental properties.

Best when the existing tile looks good but the underlayment below has failed.

Metal roofing $25,000-$45,000

Higher upfront cost, strong fit for long ownership, fire zones, and coastal specs.

Backcountry pricing should include remote access, Class A assemblies, ember-resistant vents, and wind or snow-load considerations where relevant.
