AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Irvine
Most full roof replacements in Irvine run between $14,000 and $42,000, and the biggest variable is not labor. It’s whether your HOA architectural committee has approved your materials and color profile yet. Call (945) 303-9821 now, and our Roof Replacement team will walk you through the approval sequence, prepare the submittal packet, and give you a written price before anything gets scheduled.
We work across every Irvine village, from the mid-1970s concrete tile homes in University Park and Woodbridge to the 2000s villages of Quail Hill and Portola Springs. The crews know what the HOA committees in each village expect. That means no half-finished roofs sitting under tarps waiting on an approval stamp. We file, we wait, we schedule, then we work.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Is Irvine’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Tilehurst Roofing is part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000. The reason Irvine homeowners call us after another roofer has burned them is straightforward: we put the pricing and the schedule in writing before a single tile comes off. No door-price changes. No discover-the-problem-after-the-tear-off surprise. Greg Holloway, who leads the Tilehurst team, built the process around the Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails.
Every repair carries a written guarantee, delivered before the crew leaves. Every roof replacement carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, for a full year. And when you call, a live person answers. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail box, not a callback queue.
We also understand how Irvine works. The HOA architectural committee review isn’t optional here, and it isn’t quick. Homeowners who hire a roofing company that doesn’t understand that end up with a torn-off roof and a stop-work notice. We don’t let that happen to you.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Irvine
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Irvine is a rarer job than in most Southern California cities, because the Irvine Company’s master-planned design standards made concrete tile the default roofing material city-wide. But when a homeowner wants to switch away from tile, either for budget reasons or because a specific village’s covenant allows it, asphalt shingles become a legitimate option. A full asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement in Irvine typically runs $14,000 to $26,000 for a standard single-family home, depending on square footage, pitch, and decking condition.
When Shingles Make Sense Here
Some Irvine HOAs, particularly in newer villages like Portola Springs, allow asphalt shingles if the profile and color match the architectural committee’s pre-approved palette. That’s rare. More often, we see shingle replacement on non-HOA properties or on accessory structures. The key point is that we never recommend a material until we’ve checked what your community’s design covenant actually permits.
What Gets Installed
We install asphalt shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. The jobs include new underlayment, drip edge, ridge cap, and flashing. Every installation starts with a written price and ends with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand.
New Roof Installation in Irvine
New Roof Installation in Irvine usually means one of two things: a full tear-off down to the decking on an existing home, or a roof on new construction. For existing homes, the job in Irvine almost always means concrete tile removal, underlayment replacement, and tile reset or replacement. For new construction, the job starts from open framing. A full new roof installation on an existing Irvine home runs $18,000 to $42,000, including underlayment, decking repair where needed, and the tile or shingle system. New construction pricing depends on the roof geometry and material spec, but typically lands in the same range per square foot.
Tear-Off and Underlayment Replacement
The single most common job our crews do in Irvine is underlayment replacement under existing concrete tile. In Irvine, the original 15-lb felt underlayment installed on mid-1970s through 1990s homes has outlived its service life, often by two decades. The tile on top looks fine. The felt underneath is powder. We strip, repair decking, install new synthetic underlayment, and reset the tile.
New Construction Roofing
For new builds in Quail Hill, Portola Springs, or other newer villages, we work directly with the general contractor or the homeowner during the framing phase. We install the full system: decking, underlayment, tile or shingles, flashing, and ridge caps, all matched to the HOA’s approved material schedule. Every new construction roof carries the same written guarantee as a replacement.
Trusted Brands We Service in Irvine
We install and service roofing systems from seven leading manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That matters in Irvine specifically because different villages have different HOA requirements. A Woodbridge home from 1978 may need a specific discontinued Boral tile profile. A newer Portola Springs home may be approved for Owens Corning asphalt shingles. We stock common parts locally for Irvine customers and can source the rest quickly, so turnaround doesn’t stall. The material choice always comes down to what your HOA will approve and what your home actually needs, not what happens to be sitting in our truck.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Irvine Homes
- Failed felt underlayment under good-looking tile: The concrete tiles on a 1970s University Park home can last another 50 years, but the 15-lb felt beneath them is waterlogged and crumbling. Leaks appear only during heavy rain years, which is why so many Irvine homeowners get blindsided.
- Santa Ana wind damage on ridge caps and hips: Irvine’s inland location catches strong Santa Ana events that lift ridge caps, crack hip tiles, and drive debris under tile laps. We regularly replace caps and re-bed hips on homes across Northwood and Westpark after the windy season.
- Discontinued tile profiles on older villages: Woodbridge-era homes were roofed with tile molds that are no longer manufactured. If the HOA requires an exact match, sourcing reclaimed tile takes time and connections. We do this work regularly and include the sourcing step in the written price.
- UV-accelerated sealant degradation: Irvine’s inland sun, with low overcast and high UV intensity, breaks down sealant faster than coastal cities a few miles west. Failed flashing sealant around vents and pipe penetrations is one of the most common leak points we find on 20-year-old Irvine roofs.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Irvine, CA
A full concrete tile roof replacement in Irvine, including underlayment and tile reset, typically runs $20,000 to $42,000 depending on the village, square footage, and HOA-approved material. Asphalt shingle replacement runs $14,000 to $26,000. Underlayment-only replacement, where the existing tile is removed and reset, usually lands between $10,000 and $18,000. The factors that move the price: roof pitch, number of hips and valleys, decking condition, tile profile sourcing difficulty, and whether your HOA requires a specific manufacturer or color. We give you the written line-item price before any work starts, and we never change it at the door. Call (945) 303-9821 to schedule a free estimate.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Irvine
Yes. Irvine’s village design covenants almost always require HOA architectural-committee approval before any roof work begins, including full replacements. The committee reviews the tile profile, color, and material. We prepare and file the submittal packet for you as a standard part of the job. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll tell you exactly what your village’s committee will need.
Typically two to four weeks, depending on the village and the committee’s meeting calendar. University Park and Woodbridge committees often meet monthly, which can stretch the review. We schedule the tear-off only after the approval is in hand, so your roof is never sitting exposed waiting on a committee vote.
The original 15-lb felt underlayment beneath your concrete tile has degraded, even though the tiles themselves remain structurally sound. In Woodbridge and University Park, this underlayment has far outlived its expected service life. The leak appears suddenly during a heavy rain winter because the felt finally gave way. The fix is a full underlayment replacement, not a tile patch. Call (945) 303-9821 for an inspection and written quote.
Yes. For Woodbridge-era homes with discontinued tile molds, we source reclaimed tile inventory or work with the HOA architectural committee on an approved substitute. We’ve done this repeatedly on mid-1970s Woodbridge re-roofs where the original manufacturer no longer exists. We include the sourcing step in the written price, so you know the full cost before we start.
Only if your HOA’s design covenant allows it. Most Irvine villages mandate concrete tile profiles and color palettes that make asphalt shingle substitution difficult or impossible. In the rare villages that do allow shingles, we install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning systems that meet the approved spec. The decision is always made after we check your village’s covenant, not before. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll check for you.
