How much does a roof replacement cost on a 2,000 sq ft home in Anaheim?

Size in this model is roof surface. One roofing square is 100 sq ft of roof surface, and the typical job is 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area). In this model, 2,000 sq ft means roof surface (20 squares). It is separate from the floor area of a home, and the model has no floor-area input. The cost-by-size table has no 2,000 sq ft row; its rows are 10 squares (1,000 sq ft of roof surface), 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area), and 18 squares (1,800 sq ft of roof surface). Read as roof surface, 2,000 sq ft is 20 squares. The calculator already scales job cost by squares divided by 16, and 20 is inside the allowed range of 8 to 60, so these figures are that same scale, not a guess between table rows. At 20 squares in Anaheim, CA the all-in is $8,483 low, $13,573 typical, and $63,568 high. Those all-in figures add the model's rounded permit for the bands on this row. The official fees are $375.00, $375.00, and $375.00. The model rounds each to the nearest dollar before adding it, so the all-in uses $375 on the low, $375 on the typical, and $375 on the high. The permit is the official flat lightweight re-roof: Re-roofing (lightweight w/o structural up to 3,000 sf) is $375.00. Its note starts with FY 2026-27 proposed/current column. Included. That line is already inside the $375.00 total and is not added on top. It is not rescaled when the roof size changes, and it is not a new fee for 20 squares. Documented 1,000 / 1,500 / 1,800 sf of roof surface stays at or under 3,000 sf and does not change those fees. The over-3,000-sf increment is not triggered. These totals are a City of Anaheim permit, not LA City and not unincorporated Orange County. The nearest table rows are 10 squares (1,000 sq ft of roof surface) at $6,974 typical and 18 squares (1,800 sq ft of roof surface) at $12,253 typical.

How much does roof replacement cost per square and per square foot in Anaheim?

Cost per square on this page is the all-in typical divided by the roof squares on that row. One square is 100 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area, so per square means per 100 sq ft. Cost per sq ft is that same all-in typical divided by the roof surface in sq ft (squares times 100). The cost-by-size rows are 10 squares (1,000 sq ft of roof surface), 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area), and 18 squares (1,800 sq ft of roof surface). The official typical permit fee is $375.00. The cost-by-size table rounds that fee to $375 on each of those rows, because this permit is a flat lightweight re-roof and is not rescaled when the roof size changes, and the model rounds the permit to the nearest dollar. At 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area) in Anaheim, CA the all-in typical is $10,933, which is $683.31 per square (per 100 sq ft) after rounding to the nearest dollar, and $6.83 per sq ft after rounding to the cent.
