Montclair prices
Tile and slate prices in Montclair, CA
Tile pricing has two parts that get confused: the tile itself, which lasts decades, and the underlayment beneath it, which does not.
Or call (909) 752-8730Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Montclair and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Montclair 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 – $950 | $13,000 – $27,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,200 – $2,000 | $24,000 – $58,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,600 – $3,300 | $32,000 – $95,500 | 50 to 80 years |
What moves the price
- 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
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
Locally
Dry offshore wind lifts material that damp coastal air had been holding down. Most wind losses here happen on a handful of nights a year.
Expect a small percentage of breakage on any tile job. An honest quote says so and prices the replacements.

Questions about price
I have solar panels. What happens to them?
Panels have to be detached and reset. Budget for it separately and coordinate the two trades. Never put a new solar array on a roof with under ten years left.
I rent. Can I use this?
Only the owner can approve roofing work. If you are renting, the fastest route is to send this to your landlord or property manager rather than gathering quotes nobody can act on.
Do you cover the whole San Bernardino County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Montclair and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
