Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Maywood
Roof replacement in Maywood typically runs $8,500 – $14,000 for an average 1,100 – 1,400 square foot bungalow, depending on shingle grade, decking condition, and whether the home has a flat or low-slope addition. Most Maywood homes we see are 1920s – 1950s builds on lots so tight that tear-off staging, not the roof itself, is the logistical puzzle. We’re in Maywood regularly, and our crews know these streets. Call (833) 589-5180 for a free estimate that starts with an inspection, not a sales pitch.
Why Sunridge Roof Repair Is Maywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Maywood homeowners call us because we’re a roofing specialist, not a general contractor who happens to own a ladder. That matters on a one-square-mile city where every job involves protecting a neighbor’s stucco wall three feet from the drip edge. Our crews tarp side yards, stage debris in narrow walkways, and sequence tear-off so nothing lands on the adjacent patio. We’ve worked off Slauson Avenue, around the 90270 corridor, and through the blocks near Maywood Park enough to know exactly what these roofs hide underneath.
Ruben Ochoa leads our team, and he’s built this company around a simple rule: inspect before we recommend. That means when a Maywood homeowner calls about a leak on a 1940s bungalow, we don’t open with a replacement quote. We get on the roof, check the decking, check the flashing, check the low-slope sections, and then tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the right call. Repair when repair is right, replace when it’s not. That approach is why Maywood homeowners keep our number.
Styles & brands we work with
Flat Roof Replacement in Maywood
Flat Roof Replacement in Maywood is one of the most common jobs we handle, because so many of these 1920s – 1950s homes have rear additions with low-pitch or built-up roofs that were never properly sloped. A flat roof replacement on a Maywood rear addition typically runs $4,000 – $8,000 depending on square footage, how many layers of old roofing need to come off, and whether the decking beneath is sound. Most flat roofs here last 15 – 20 years, and we see many that are well past that.
Built-Up and Modified Bitumen Systems
Older Maywood additions usually carry built-up roofing (BUR) with gravel or cap sheet, and when that surface starts alligatoring or ponding water after winter storms, it’s done. We tear off the old layers, inspect the decking beneath, and install a modern modified bitumen or TPO system with proper taper to move water toward the drains. On Maywood lots, we stage the tear-off in the side yard so nothing goes onto the neighbor’s property.
Ponding Water and Low-Slope Repairs
Ponding is the quiet killer on Maywood flat roofs. When a low-slope section holds water for more than 48 hours after a storm, the membrane starts degrading from the inside out. We’ve opened flat roofs in Maywood where the top looked fine but the decking underneath was soft enough to poke a screwdriver through. That’s why our flat roof replacements always include a decking inspection after tear-off, not before.
Roof Installation in Maywood
Roof Installation in Maywood usually means a full tear-off and re-roof on an older bungalow or Spanish-style stucco home, often with the added wrinkle of replacing new construction sections where a past owner added a room. A standard asphalt shingle roof installation on a Maywood single-story home runs $7,000 – $11,000, while architectural shingles push that to $9,000 – $14,000. The spread depends on decking condition, access, and whether code upgrades trigger framing work once the roof is opened.
Asphalt and Architectural Shingle Installation
We install both three-tab asphalt and dimensional architectural shingles across Maywood’s single-family housing stock. For these small bungalows, architectural shingles are the workhorse: they handle the inland-basin summer heat better than three-tab, and they give a 1940s home a cleaner finished look. We stock shingles from IKO and Atlas for value-focused budgets and premium lines from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning when a homeowner wants the strongest wind rating and longest manufacturer warranty.
Decking Replacement and Framing Repairs
Here’s what a Maywood roof installation actually turns up: soft decking, rotted fascia, and occasionally framing that needs a sistered joist or two. When we open a 1920s cedar-shake original roof or a third-layer tear-off, the plywood beneath is often water-damaged from decades of roof-to-roof runoff. We write decking replacement into the contract as a per-sheet allowance, so you know the number before we lift a shingle. Any framing work gets quoted and approved in writing before we proceed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood
We’re brand-agnostic, which means what it says: we recommend the shingle that fits your roof and your budget, not the one that pays us the best rebate. For Maywood’s older single-story homes, we commonly install Tamko and IKO architectural shingles on value-conscious projects, and Atlas storm-rated shingles where wind and impact resistance matter. We also work with premium lines from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. Your choice of materials, honestly priced. We keep common stock accessible for Maywood jobs, so material pickup doesn’t add a week to your timeline.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Maywood Homes
- Three-layer tear-offs on original roofs. Many Maywood bungalows still carry their original wood shake or first-generation asphalt shingles, often with a second or third layer roofed over them. Three layers means three times the debris, and on a narrow lot that changes the entire staging plan.
- Hidden decking rot behind stucco parapets. Spanish-style Maywood homes have stucco parapet walls around the roof perimeter, and water gets behind them through cracked flashing. The decking behind those parapets is often soft, and the cost only appears after tear-off.
- Low-slope ponding on rear additions. Almost every Maywood home older than 70 years has a flat or low-pitch rear addition that pond water during winter storms. The underlayment underneath is usually failed, and the leak only shows itself once we open the roof.
- Debris containment on three-foot side yards. Standard dumpster placement doesn’t work on most Maywood lots because the side yard between homes is 3 to 5 feet wide. We tarp the adjacent property, hand-carry debris in stages, and coordinate with the neighbor before tear-off starts.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Maywood, CA
An honest picture of Maywood roof replacement pricing: a basic three-tab shingle re-roof on a 1,000 square foot bungalow starts around $7,000. Architectural shingles on the same footprint run $9,000 – $12,000. A full flat roof replacement on a rear addition runs $4,000 – $8,000. What moves the quote: decking replacement (typically $2 – $4 per square foot when the old plywood fails), code-triggered framing or strapping upgrades, and the number of existing layers that must come off. We write every estimate as a line-item quote, we put decking allowances in writing up front, and we price any surprises in writing before we touch them. Call (833) 589-5180 for a free detailed estimate.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Maywood
We tarp the adjacent property first, then sequence the tear-off so debris lands in our staging area, not on the neighbor’s patio or roof. On the narrow side yards common in Maywood, we hand-carry tear-off material out in stages instead of dropping it off the roof. Before we start, we walk the job with you and often with your neighbor, so the access plan is settled before the first shingle comes off. Call (833) 589-5180 and we’ll walk your lot with you.
You get a written change order with the exact scope and price before we touch the framing or wiring. We don’t proceed on hidden work without your approval. Older Maywood homes sometimes reveal undersized rafters, old knob-and-tube remnants, or soft decking that needs replacement, and we build allowances for exactly this into the original contract so the number doesn’t surprise you. Call (833) 589-5180 to talk through what your roof might be hiding.
Yes, a roof replacement in Maywood requires a permit through Los Angeles County building services, and we handle that for you. The permit typically triggers any code-required upgrades once the roof is opened, most commonly fire-resistant underlayment, improved nailing patterns for seismic requirements, and sometimes strapping or sheathing upgrades on older framing. We price those upgrades into the estimate up front so they don’t arrive as a surprise. Call (833) 589-5180 and we’ll explain what your specific roof triggers.
We tear off the existing low-slope system, inspect the decking beneath, and then install a modern membrane with proper taper so water moves toward the drains instead of ponding. For Maywood’s rear additions and enclosed porches, we commonly use modified bitumen or TPO systems, and we replace any failed underlayment at the transition where the flat section meets the pitched roof. Call (833) 589-5180 for a flat roof evaluation, even if the rest of your roof is fine.
We install shingles from IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral, GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, so the brand decision is driven by your budget and wind-rating needs, not by our supplier relationship. Most Maywood roofs need at least a 110 – 130 mph wind rating, which standard architectural shingles from Atlas, CertainTeed, or GAF cover comfortably. We’ll show you three material options at different price points and let you choose. Call (833) 589-5180 and we’ll bring samples.
If your Maywood roof is leaking, aging out, or just looks tired from a decade of inland sun, start with an inspection. We’ll give you an honest read on whether repair or replacement makes sense, a line-item price in writing, and a single accountable crew to do the work. Call (833) 589-5180 to schedule your free estimate.
