We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Riverside 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 Riverside 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. | $675 – $1,000 | $13,500 – $29,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,600 – $2,600 | $32,000 – $75,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
Locally
Sun is the main wear here. Asphalt loses its oils, underlayment goes brittle, and sealant beads shrink away from the flashing.
Ask any contractor quoting metal to show you a standing-seam job they finished several years ago. The edges will tell you what you need to know.

Questions about price
Should I take the cheapest quote?
Only if it is the same roof. Most large gaps between quotes are scope gaps. Ask the cheapest contractor which of the other quotes items they have left out, and why.
What does a new roof cost in Riverside?
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $13,500 to $29,000. That assumes one layer to remove and sound decking. Every quote you get should say in writing what happens if the decking is not sound.
Are you a roofing company?
No. Bedrock Exteriors of Riverside 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.
