Key Takeaways for Maywood Homeowners

• Standard asphalt shingle re-roofs on Maywood bungalows cost $8,500 – $16,500 depending on size, decking condition, and access difficulty.
• Maywood’s dense, small-lot layout means tear-off and material staging must be planned around shared driveways, side yards, and rear garages.
• Wind-rated installation with proper nailing patterns and ice-and-water shield is standard for code-compliant work here, not an upsell.
• We install materials from seven major brands including GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko, so you get a roof matched to your home and budget, not a brand-push.

Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Maywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Maywood homeowners call us because we understand this city’s roofs on a block-by-block level. The housing stock is consistent: one-story stucco bungalows and small duplexes built mostly between the 1920s and 1950s. That means low-slope and shallow-pitch roofs, original decking in many cases, and rear additions with flat built-up sections that have been ponding water for decades. We know what we’re going to find under the shingles before we even set up the ladder.

Our team has handled re-roofs from Slauson Avenue down to the neighborhoods near the Los Angeles River, and we’ve earned a reputation for showing up when we say we will and keeping the job site tight. Maywood lots don’t leave room for sloppy staging: dumpsters have to sit in the right spot, materials get hand-carried through side yards, and neighbors’ roofs stay protected. That’s not a talking point for us. It’s how we work every job here. Roland Vega, our owner, has built the company around the principle that a roof quote should tell you exactly what you’re getting, including the line items that cheap bids leave out.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Maywood

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement is the most common roofing project we do in Maywood because the city’s original homes were almost all built with shingled gable or hip roofs. Sixty to a hundred years of Southern California sun have taken their toll: the warm, dry summers and intense UV exposure bake shingles until the granules let go and the asphalt underneath starts to crack. A typical tear-off and re-shingle on a 900 – 1,200 square foot Maywood bungalow runs $8,500 – $13,500 depending on decking condition and whether the old roof is a single layer or two.

What matters more than brand here is how the shingles are fastened. Maywood sits in a wind zone where code requires specific nailing patterns and starter-strip details for the shingles to actually carry their wind rating. A shingle that’s nailed wrong will come off in a Santa Ana event no matter whose name is on the wrapper. We nail to manufacturer high-wind specs and document it, so if an insurance claim ever comes up, the paperwork says what the roof actually is.

Tear-Off Versus Re-Cover

Many Maywood homes still have two layers of old shingles because a previous owner re-covered instead of tearing off. That’s allowed once under code, but a third layer never is. When we find two layers, we tear everything down to the decking, inspect it, and re-sheet any wood that’s started to go soft around the low-slope transitions or the rear addition.

Architectural Shingles for Wind Resistance

For Maywood’s shallow-pitch and low-slope roofs, we often recommend architectural shingles from GAF or CertainTeed. They’re thicker than three-tab, carry higher wind ratings when installed correctly, and stand up better to the heat cycling that this city’s roofs experience every summer. The cost difference over three-tab is modest, typically $1,200 – $2,000 on an average bungalow, and it’s the single best upgrade most Maywood homeowners can make.

New Roof Installation in Maywood

New Roof Installation in Maywood comes up most often when a homeowner is re-roofing a rear addition, a converted garage, or replacing a flat built-up roof that’s reached the end of its life. These sections are usually low-slope or dead flat and they were often built with materials that haven’t been made in forty years. The fix is a modern system, not another layer of patch work. A new flat or low-slope roof over a rear addition in Maywood typically runs $4,500 – $8,500 depending on square footage and whether the decking underneath has been compromised by ponding.

On the main house, new roof installation usually happens as part of a full re-roof when the existing roof is too far gone to repair or the decking has widespread rot. We treat these jobs like a tear-off replacement but with more decking replacement and more attention to the transitions where the original roof meets the addition.

Flat and Low-Slope Systems

For Maywood’s rear additions and original flat sections, we install TPO or modified bitumen systems with tapered insulation where drainage needs help. The failure mode on these roofs is predictable: water ponds, the underlayment rots, the leak shows up at the same flashing penetration it always does. Re-covering without fixing drainage doesn’t work. We fix the slope first.

Decking That Has to Go

When we strip a Maywood roof and find decking that’s delaminating around the low-slope transition or the plumbing vents, we don’t nail over it. Re-sheeting is a line item on our quote because it’s a real condition on these roofs. A cheap quote that skips it is counting on you not looking under the shingles.

Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood

We install roofing from seven major manufacturers, including GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko, which means the recommendation you get is matched to your home in Maywood rather than to whatever single brand a contractor happens to stock. Some homes here need a premium architectural shingle with a true high-wind rating. Others need a solid value-tier shingle that won’t break the budget on a rental duplex. Because we work across the full range, you’ll get an honest answer about which tier makes sense for your roof, not a sales pitch for one product line.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Maywood Homes

• Wind-peeled shingles from improper nailing: Cheap bids often skip the high-wind nailing pattern and forego the starter strip detail. The first strong Santa Ana event peels the ridge and the first course, and the manufacturer won’t honor a warranty on a roof that wasn’t installed to spec.
• Soft decking at low-slope and flat transitions: Most Maywood bungalows have a rear addition with a flat built-up roof that’s been ponding for years. When we tear off the main roof, we almost always find rot where the two meet.
• Poor drainage on flat built-up sections: Re-covering a flat roof without correcting slope just buries the problem. The ponding continues, the new membrane fails early, and the homeowner pays twice.
• Debris and damage to neighbor’s roofs: On Maywood’s narrow lots, tear-off debris can end up on a neighbor’s roof or blocking a shared rear alley if the staging isn’t planned. We tarp adjacent surfaces and hand-carry materials through side yards so the block stays clean.
