What frame do published surveys give?
The report has no Sonoma or Napa column, so the nearest published metro figure is the San Francisco one. A published midrange benchmark for the San Francisco metro, from the 2025 Cost vs. Value report, is roughly $38,000 for a 30-square asphalt-shingle replacement and roughly $65,000 for metal. Your own roof's price will differ; a free written estimate is the only real number. Use it only to set expectations.
North Bay cost drivers
- Shake to Class A: tearing off wood shake and covering spaced board sheathing adds labor and material. See dry rot and decking.
- Rural sites: distance from suppliers and dump sites.
- Vineyard and hillside homes: long, steep access.
- Pre-inspection scheduling: in unincorporated Sonoma, the work waits on Permit Sonoma's pre-inspection.
- Material: metal and tile cost more up front; see metal roofs in the North Bay.

How much does a new roof cost in the North Bay?
A published midrange benchmark for the San Francisco metro, from the 2025 Cost vs. Value report, is roughly $38,000 for a 30-square asphalt-shingle replacement and roughly $65,000 for metal. Your own roof's price will differ; a free written estimate is the only real number.
Does replacing a shake roof cost more?
Usually. Shake tear-off is heavier work, and spaced board sheathing often needs new decking before a Class A roof.
Can PACE pay for a roof?
PACE funds energy and water efficiency and clean-energy improvements. Ask the program whether a roof qualifies.
Why are rural quotes higher?
Travel, delivery and disposal distances add time to the job.
