Industry prices
Pricing a repair rather than a replacement
Most repair quotes fall into four or five recognisable bands. Knowing which band you are in stops you being surprised.

We are lining up licensed providers near you. Leave your details and we will email you when one can take this on.
You are on the list.
No provider in Industry is taking requests through this service yet. We are lining them up, and yours is kept until one can.
- Nobody gets your details yet. Your request stays with us and is not passed to any company.
- One email when someone can help. When a provider covering your area can take it on, we email you once and ask whether you want that company, by name, to contact you.
- Deleted after 90 days. If nobody can take it on, or you do not say yes, your contact details are deleted 90 days after your request.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
Nobody will call you about this request unless you say yes to a company by name.
These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Industry 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 | $450 – $1,300 | A pipe boot, a bit of step flashing, a handful of blown-off shingles. |
| Valley, chimney or skylight reflash | $900 – $2,900 | Where most leaks actually start. Rarely the shingles themselves. |
| Section replacement, one slope | $1,400 – $5,100 | 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 | $3,400 – $11,500 | Long-running leaks get expensive because of what they soak, not what they break. |
What moves the price
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
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.
Ask for the remaining life of the covering alongside the repair price. Those two numbers together are what the decision actually rests on.
These are estimates, not quotes. They are compiled from national installed ranges adjusted for California costs and for how Industry is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Should I repair or replace?
Rough rule: if the covering has more than about five years left and the damage is confined to one area, repair. If it is at the end of its life or you are patching the third leak in two years, you are paying instalments on a replacement.
How many contractors will contact me?
Up to three. That is a hard cap, not a guideline. Three is enough to compare and few enough that your phone stays usable.
Are you a roofing company?
No. Industry Roofing Collective is a free matching service. We do not hold a roofing licence, we do not employ crews, and we never come to your house. We pass your request to independent local contractors who do the work and who you hire directly.
