- Range tightness6/10
The modelled range spans about 38% of the typical price.

Bureau of Labor Statistics wage release for May 2025, occupation 47-2181 (roofers), across 15 metro areas.
2 of 24 material rows come from observed prices; the rest are modelled.
Metro-level pricing in 15 markets and written local guidance for 17 cities. Anywhere else falls back to national figures, and the confidence score says so.
Pitch multipliers, roof area and material quantities are arithmetic, not estimates.
About 65% of a typical re-roof is still priced from modelled rows, so every estimate is capped at a confidence of 60 until that changes. We would rather show you that than a confident-looking number we cannot stand behind. Sources and licences

What changes the price on this street
These are the things that differ here from Los Angeles as a whole. Everything else on the Los Angeles page still applies.
Check whether the parcel sits in a fire hazard severity zone
Where wildland-urban interface provisions apply, a Class A assembly and ember-resistant vent detailing are code requirements. This constrains product choice and raises cost, and it is not optional.
Tile weight limits material switching
Moving from tile to a lighter product is straightforward structurally; moving to tile from a lighter product may need engineering review.
