Westminster prices
Is metal worth the premium here?
The gap between standing seam and exposed-fastener panel is nearly as large as the gap between metal and asphalt, so "a metal roof" is not one price.

These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Westminster 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 | $12,000 – $27,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,600 – $2,700 | $29,000 – $73,000 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
- Whether the fasteners and flashing are specified for coastal exposure
Locally
Damp that arrives every morning and leaves by lunchtime is worse for a roof than rain, because nothing ever fully dries between one and the next.
The arithmetic favours metal if you are staying more than about fifteen years, and favours asphalt if you are not.

Questions about price
What does a new roof cost in Westminster?
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $12,000 to $27,000. 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.
Is this really free?
Yes. You pay nothing, now or later. Roofing contractors pay us for the introduction, which is why the service costs you nothing and why we are upfront that it is how we make money.
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.
