San Francisco's unique climate and stringent building codes make professional roof installation a specialized task. With costs ranging from $10 to $32 per square foot depending on materials, understanding the true cost is crucial for trade professionals. CountBricks offers AI-powered estimating to provide accurate, real-time quotes tailored to your specific needs.

Understanding the True Cost of a New Roof in San Francisco

Roofing costs in San Francisco can vary significantly due to factors such as labor premiums, permit fees, and material upgrades. Here's a breakdown of average costs:

  • Asphalt shingle re-roof: $10–$14 per square foot installed
  • Standing-seam metal: $18–$26 per square foot installed
  • Clay or concrete tile: $20–$28 per square foot installed

Choosing the Best Roofing Material for San Francisco Homes

Considerations for material selection include:

  • Asphalt Shingles: Cost-effective, but select algae-resistant varieties to combat marine moisture.
  • Metal Panels: Excellent for low-slope Edwardians; reflective coatings help meet California Title 24 energy codes.
  • Clay Tile: Historic look for Mission-style homes; heavy weight may require rafter reinforcement.
  • Synthetic Slate: Lightweight elegance without the seismic risk of natural stone.
