What Is Shingle Roofing?
Southern California’s
Most Common
Roof System
Asphalt shingles are layered, overlapping tabs of fiberglass matting saturated with asphalt and coated with mineral granules. It’s the most widely installed residential roofing material in the country — and for good reason: it’s compatible with nearly every architectural style found across Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, and Riverside counties, from ranch and craftsman homes to traditional tract-style construction.
In Southern California’s climate, shingle performance comes down to the product line: granule coatings reflect UV exposure, Class A fire-rated assemblies are available (an important consideration given wildfire risk in many hillside communities), and algae-resistant granules help homes closer to the coast resist streaking.
- Compatible with nearly every home style and roof pitch
- Class A fire-rated assemblies available
- Wind-rated product lines suited to Santa Ana conditions
- The widest color and style selection of any roofing material
Why Choose This System
Why Homeowners Choose Shingle Roofing
Every roofing system fits a different home, budget, and priority list. Here’s where shingle roofing genuinely stands out — not because it’s “better” than tile or metal, but because of what it specifically offers.
Budget-Friendly Investment
Lower material and installation cost than tile or metal, freeing up budget for other parts of a renovation.
Fast, Efficient Installation
Most shingle re-roofs are completed in one to three days, depending on size and roof complexity.
Wide Style & Color Range
Dozens of color blends and profiles designed to match nearly any exterior color scheme.
Straightforward Repairs
Individual shingles or sections can be repaired or replaced without disturbing the rest of the roof.

Not Sure Where You Stand?
Shingle Repair vs. Replacement
Repair May Make Sense
- A handful of shingles are missing, cracked, or lifted
- Damage is isolated to one area from wind or storm impact
- Your roof is under roughly 10–12 years old
- Flashing needs resealing but shingles are otherwise sound
Replacement Worth Considering
- Widespread granule loss or bald patches across the roof
- Curling or cupping shingles over large sections
- Roof is nearing or past 20–25 years old
- Repeated leaks in multiple, unrelated areas
Not Sure If You Need a Repair or Replacement?
Schedule a professional inspection — and if it turns out your issue is a repair, our Roof Repair team can typically handle it separately from a full replacement.

What Affects The Cost?
What Affects the Cost of a Shingle Roof?
Every shingle project is priced individually. These are the factors that typically move the number, in either direction.
Roof Size
Measured in roofing squares (100 sq. ft. sections) — the primary driver of material and labor cost.
Roof Pitch & Complexity
Steep pitches, multiple valleys, and dormers take longer and require more safety setup.
Tear-Off Layers
Removing multiple existing layers of roofing adds labor and disposal cost.
Deck Condition
Damaged plywood or OSB discovered during tear-off must be replaced.
Shingle Tier
3-tab, architectural, and designer shingles carry different material costs.
Flashing & Penetrations
Chimneys, skylights, and vent details add labor and material.
Accessibility
Roof height, steep grades, and site access can affect labor time.
Permits
Local permit requirements vary by city and project scope.
Warranties
Manufacturer & Workmanship Warranties
Manufacturer Warranty
Shingle manufacturers back their materials against defects for a period set by the manufacturer and product line — typically confirmed once you've chosen a specific shingle product.
Workmanship Warranty
Our workmanship warranty covers the quality of our installation labor, separate from the manufacturer's material warranty. Exact terms are confirmed at the time of your contract.

What Homeowners Say
Reviews From Shingle Roofing Customers
Janet S.
I was dreading the mess of a roof replacement, but First Roofing exceeded my expectations with their cleanup. They laid tarps everywhere, used magnets to pick up every single nail, and even swept my driveway and walkways. You'd never know they were here except for the beautiful new roof.
Mailrada C.
Best roofing company! They replaced the roof and with very affordable price. Top notch quality!
Daniel G.
This is a review on behalf of my parents, who insisted on going with First Roofing Contractor even though I advised them to go with a different company. Let me tell you, they were right! Everything was done exactly as expected, and they truly went above and beyond to make us happy. Absolutely a pleasure to work with. Our roof looks amazing and all my neighbors are asking who did it. Thank you, First Roofing Contractor, and sorry I doubted you!
