Salt air and, in storm-prone spots, wind are the roof's real enemies here. That shapes what San Francisco homeowners spend on roofing.
San Francisco roofing prices
- Minor repair (flashing, a few shingles): $525-$2,100
- Full asphalt-shingle replacement: $10,550-$23,750
- Inspection: $200-$450, often credited toward work
Pricing runs well above the national average and scales with roof size and pitch.
Repair or replace?
Patch a young roof with isolated damage. If it is near the end of its life (20+ years for asphalt) or you are seeing repeated leaks, replacement usually wins. Get the roof inspected before deciding.
Hiring in San Francisco
Use a licensed, insured roofer, get it in writing, and be wary of storm-chasers who show up after bad weather.
