Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Maywood
Roof replacement in Maywood costs between $11,500 and $24,000 for most homes, depending on size, pitch, and what’s hiding under the old roof. We work across Maywood weekly, and we know what these 1920s-1950s stucco bungalows and duplexes look like once the old material comes off. Tight lots, low-slope roofs under parapets, skip sheathing, failing flashing. There’s rarely a straightforward tear-off on a Maywood roof. There’s almost always something underneath that needs attention, and we handle it without making the job feel out of control. Call Kurt Hensley and the team at (866) 942-4187 for a close look at your roof.
Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Maywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Maywood homeowners keep calling us back because we show up ready for what these older homes actually need. Most of the roofs in this city are low-slope or shallow-pitch, framed over skip sheathing, and built decades before modern underlayment standards existed. That means the job isn’t just swapping shingles. It’s diagnosing what failed, fixing the decking and flashing beneath, and rebuilding in a way that holds up to sharp summer sun and rare but hard winter rain.
Kurt Hensley built this company around honest material choices and brand-neutral recommendations. We carry products from seven major manufacturers, including Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, so the conversation is never about what we’re trying to move off the shelf. It’s about what fits your roof and your budget. For a 1940s bungalow off Slauson Avenue with a parapet low-slope section, that might mean a peel-and-stick underlayment on the flat portion and architectural shingles on the main pitch. For a duplex with a stucco parapet, it might mean metal flashing work before a single shingle goes down.
We don’t chase volume in Maywood. We chase getting it right the first time on compact lots with shared driveways, where debris staging affects your neighbor and alley access dictates how many bundles can go up at once. Our customers in Maywood tell us the same thing: the quote was clear, the crew communicated, and the unexpected stuff got priced in writing before we touched it.
Styles & brands we work with






New Roof Installation in Maywood
New roof installation in Maywood usually means a full tear-off and replacement on a bungalow or small multifamily building that’s been reroofed once or twice already. The existing layers often include old tar-and-gravel, rolled roofing, or a second layer of asphalt shingles nailed over the first. On a standard 1,000-1,400 square foot Maywood home, a complete new roof runs $12,000-$21,000. That includes tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, flashing, shingles or low-slope material, and full cleanup.
One thing worth stating plainly: on these tight lots, cleanup is a bigger piece of the job than most homeowners expect. Dumpsters don’t always fit in the driveway. Materials sometimes stage in the alley. Our crews have worked enough jobs along Randolph and Slauson to plan the logistics before the first truck shows up.
Architectural Shingle Replacement
Architectural shingles are the default choice for most Maywood replacements. They handle the sun well, they look right on stucco bungalows, and they don’t add the kind of weight that creates framing questions. We install architectural shingles from Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas depending on the warranty tier and color you want.
Low-Slope and Flat Roof Sections
Plenty of Maywood homes have that shallow-pitch roof over the addition or the back half of the original footprint. These sections fail long before the shingle field does. When we replace them, we use self-adhered underlayment or modified bitumen systems that actually shed water instead of trapping it under old rolled roofing.
Reroofing in Maywood
Reroofing in Maywood is what we handle most often. These aren’t new construction projects. They’re home reroofs on pre-1960 structures where the existing roof has lived past its useful life and the homeowner wants it fixed without a drawn-out construction timeline. A complete reroof on a Maywood bungalow typically runs $11,500-$19,500 depending on square footage, pitch, and whether the decking underneath is sound or needs replacing.
We don’t layer new shingles over old ones on a reroof. The weight adds up, and you lose the chance to inspect and fix what’s underneath. Removing the old roof opens everything up, and that’s when the real condition of the home becomes clear.
Decking and Framing Repairs
Once we open a pre-1960 Maywood roof, we often find skip sheathing with gaps between the boards, rafter tails softened by old flashing leaks, or decking that’s started to delaminate. We replace bad decking with plywood or OSB panels, and we price each repair in writing before we start that section. No surprises on the invoice. No work that wasn’t approved.
Flashing and Parapet Work
Maywood’s stucco parapets look fine from the ground and leak from the top. The flashing at the cap and at the transition from low-slope to shingle section is where water gets in. On a reroof, we cut out the old flashing, inspect the stucco behind it, and install new metal or peel-and-stick membrane before the new roofing goes on.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood
We’re authorized to install products from seven major manufacturers, so Maywood homeowners aren’t locked into one brand. Owens Corning offers strong wind warranties at a mid-tier price. IKO makes architectural shingles with a steep-slope profile that looks sharp on bungalow rooflines. Atlas provides excellent algae resistance for the south-facing sides of homes along Atlantic and Slauson. We keep common colors and accessory materials stocked in our Corona yard and can bring what we need to Maywood on the first truck. If a particular color has a lead time, we order it the day you sign so the job doesn’t stall.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Maywood Homes
- Shared-driveway staging conflicts. On streets like Randolph, the side yards are so narrow that a dumpster dropped at the curb blocks your neighbor’s car. We coordinate with adjacent homeowners before we place anything, and we plan alley-side loading so tear-off debris moves out without shutting down someone’s access.
- Parapet flashing failures on low-slope roofs. The field of the roof usually looks fine. The problem is where the flat section meets the stucco parapet. Old tar patches crack, ponding water sits after winter storms, and the water finds its way into the wall. We fix that transition properly on every reroof.
- Skip sheathing and rafter damage. Most pre-1960 Maywood homes have spaced boards under the roofing, not solid decking. If a flashing has leaked for years, the rafter tails are soft by the time we open the roof. We can’t see that from above. The tear-off reveals it.
- Permit-triggered code upgrades. Maywood’s building department inspects what we expose once the roof is open. If the wiring is outdated or the framing doesn’t meet current code, the permit can require upgrades before we close things up. We’re upfront about this before we start so it doesn’t blindside you mid-job.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Maywood, CA
A standard full roof replacement in Maywood runs $11,500-$21,000 for most bungalows and duplexes. A larger or steeper roof pushes toward $24,000. Flat or low-slope sections cost more per square foot than shingle fields because the materials and labor are more specialized. Decking replacement adds $1,200-$2,800 depending on how much we find once the old roof comes off. Flashing and parapet work usually adds another $800-$2,500. The range is honest, not a teaser price. We write line-item quotes so you can see exactly what you’re paying for, and we don’t change the price mid-job unless we uncover something that requires your written approval first. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate and a straight answer on what your roof will cost.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Maywood
We stop as soon as we find decking, framing, or flashing damage, show you what we found, and give you a written price for the repair before we continue. Unexpected work is never a change order you hear about later. It’s approved by you in writing first. Call (866) 942-4187 to talk through what we typically find on pre-1960 homes in Maywood.
Yes, but it takes coordination. We plan dumpster placement and material staging before the job starts, often using alley-side access for tear-off debris and keeping the street clear. On lots along Slauson and Randolph where driveways are shared, we talk to your neighbors early so the job doesn’t create friction. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll walk the site before quoting.
We use self-adhered peel-and-stick underlayment on low-slope and parapet sections, because those roofs pond water during winter storms and the old tar patches eventually fail. At the parapet and roof-to-wall transitions, we install new metal flashing or membrane that actually seals. This isn’t an upgrade that costs extra in most cases. It’s the correct way to build a roof that won’t leak in two seasons.
It can, especially when we open walls or expose framing and the inspector sees outdated wiring or structural issues that current code addresses. We’re straightforward about this from the first inspection. We’d rather tell you now than have the inspector tell you mid-job. The permit is part of the job, and any code-driven work gets priced and approved before we proceed. Call (866) 942-4187 for an honest conversation about what your specific home is likely to need.
Look for line items, not a single bottom-line number. Ask what decking replacement rate the contractor assumes, what underlayment they’re specifying on low-slope sections, and how they handle permit-triggered upgrades. A low bid that doesn’t account for Maywood’s older framing and tight-lot logistics is a bid that will grow once construction starts. Our quotes are itemized and we stand behind them. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll walk you through what to look for in any bid.
