Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Maywood
Roof replacement in Maywood usually runs between $8,500 and $16,000 for a typical single-family home, and the job takes 2 to 5 days once materials are on site. That price range reflects what we see across Maywood’s dense blocks of pre-1960 houses, where flat and low-slope roofs demand different materials and more tear-off labor than the steep shingle roofs in nearby cities. If your roof has hit the 25-year mark or you’re chasing leaks every winter, call us at (626) 389-1956 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We know Maywood’s streets, from Slauson Avenue down to 55th Street, and we know what a tight lot means for staging, access, and your neighbors. This page covers what a roof replacement on a Maywood home actually involves, what it costs, and how we keep the work clean and predictable on a constrained site.
Key Takeaways
- Most Maywood roof replacements cost $8,500 to $16,000 depending on size, layers, and slope.
- Flat and low-slope roofs dominate Maywood’s housing stock and require modified bitumen or built-up roofing, not standard shingles.
- Older Maywood roofs often hide multiple tar-and-gravel layers that make tear-off slower and more expensive.
- Small lots and shared walls affect staging, access, and permit requirements. We plan for all of it.
- Every job comes with a written price before work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Why Crestview Roofing Co Pasadena Is Maywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Dylan Pace founded Crestview Roofing in 2000, and from day one the rule has been simple: the number on the written estimate is the number on the invoice. Maywood homeowners call us because they’ve been burned by roofers who quote low and bill high after the tear-off reveals “unexpected” problems. With us, the price is fixed before the first shingle or membrane comes off. No change orders, no door-knock upsell.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and you get a live trackable arrival time before anyone pulls up to your house. That matters on Maywood’s narrow streets, where parking a work truck and staging materials takes coordination. We tell you who is coming, when they’ll arrive, and what they’ll do first. After the job, you get before-and-after photos and a digital invoice by text. The Relay Visibility Guarantee puts all of that in writing.
We answer the phone. A live person, 24/7. If your roof starts leaking during one of those heavy winter rainstorms that hit Maywood hard, you’re not leaving a voicemail and hoping someone calls back Monday.
Roof Replacement Contractor in Maywood
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Maywood does more than strip and re-cover. Most homes here were built between 1920 and 1960, and many still carry their original wood decking under layers of asphalt, tar paper, and gravel. A full replacement means inspecting that decking, replacing rotted sections, installing proper underlayment, and then applying the right membrane or shingle system for the roof’s slope. On a flat-roofed Spanish Colonial Revival off 52nd Place or a Minimal Traditional bungalow near Maywood Avenue, that work usually lands between $9,000 and $15,000, but multi-layer tear-offs can push toward $18,000.
What the job covers
We remove all existing layers down to the decking, replace any rotted plywood, install new underlayment, then apply either a low-slope membrane or asphalt shingles depending on your roof’s pitch. New flashing at penetrations and parapet walls is standard, because those are the failure points we see most on Maywood’s flat roofs after a single heavy rain event.
When it’s time to replace
If your roof is over 25 years old, shows visible cracking or blistering on the membrane, or has leaked more than once in the past two winters, patching is no longer saving you money. Maywood’s UV exposure accelerates membrane failure, and water that gets under the surface rots the decking quietly until it’s too late.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Maywood
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Maywood applies mainly to the minority of homes with steep-slope roofs, including some later additions and a few gabled Craftsman-style houses near Salt Lake Park and along the Slauson corridor. A typical shingle replacement here runs $7,500 to $13,000 for a small to mid-sized house, using architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning. Architectural shingles cost more than three-tab but last 10 to 15 years longer and hold up far better against Maywood’s summer heat.
Architectural versus three-tab
We recommend architectural shingles for nearly every Maywood home. They resist UV degradation better than three-tab, handle thermal expansion without curling, and add a thicker, more dimensional look that suits the older character homes around Atlantic Boulevard and Randolph Street. The price difference is modest, usually $1,000 to $2,000 total on a typical Maywood roof.
Decking replacement
Rotted decking is common on older Maywood homes, especially near eaves and low spots where water pooled unnoticed. We replace any compromised plywood or plank decking at a set per-sheet rate, printed on your estimate before we start, so you know exactly what new wood costs if we find rot during tear-off.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood
We install and repair systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO. These manufacturers back their materials with substantial warranties, and because we use their products on the majority of our Maywood jobs, we can usually get materials delivered to your street within a few days of your signed estimate. For flat-roof work, we primarily install CertainTeed’s Flintlastic and GAF’s Liberty systems, which handle UV exposure and thermal expansion better than older built-up roofing. Your choice of material and the manufacturer warranty stay documented in your written estimate, so there’s no guessing about what’s going on your roof.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Maywood Homes
- UV-cracked and split low-slope membranes. Maywood’s hot, dry summers cook flat roof surfaces for months at a stretch. Cracks and splits form, then the first heavy winter rain drives water straight into the decking.
- Multiple layers of old tar and gravel hiding rot. Many 1940s-era homes still have original built-up roofing with three or more layers of tar, felt, and gravel. Tear-off is slow and labor-intensive, and what we find underneath often changes the scope.
- Failed flashing at parapet walls and penetrations. Flashing, the metal strips that seal joints around chimneys, vents, and parapet walls, degrades first on flat roofs. A single gap here leaks even when the membrane itself still looks intact.
- Shared-wall complications during tear-off. On attached homes, a careless tear-off can damage the neighbor’s wall or spread debris onto their property. We notify adjacent owners before work starts and keep the property line clean throughout the job.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Maywood, CA
A standard low-slope roof replacement on a Maywood bungalow runs $9,000 to $15,000. Asphalt shingle work on a steeper roof runs $7,500 to $13,000. If your roof has multiple layers of old tar and gravel, add $1,500 to $4,000 for the extra tear-off labor and disposal. Decking replacement costs extra only if we find rot, and that per-sheet rate is printed on your estimate before we start. These are real ranges from jobs we’ve done across Maywood, not national averages. Call (626) 389-1956 to schedule a free estimate, and you’ll get a written price before any work starts, with no surprises after the tear-off.
Maywood’s concentration of pre-1960 flat-roof homes means most roof replacements require low-slope membranes like built-up roofing or modified bitumen. That differs sharply from the steep-slope asphalt shingle work common in neighboring Bell or Huntington Park. If your Maywood home has a flat or low-slope roof, do not let a contractor talk you into treating it like a pitched roof. The materials, the flashing details, and the drainage are all different, and getting this wrong creates leaks that show up in the first real rain. On a tight lot off 55th Street, our crew replaced a 1940s-era built-up roof with three layers of tar and gravel. We staged materials on the driveway and coordinated a partial street closure for the debris chute, keeping the shared property line clear and notifying the attached neighbor 48 hours before we started the tear-off. That’s how we handle every job in Maywood: plan for the lot, respect the neighbors, and keep the site clean from start to finish.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Maywood
Small lots add staging time and sometimes require a partial street permit for a debris chute or material drop zone. That typically adds $300 to $800 in access costs and can extend the job by half a day to a full day. We scope this during the estimate walkthrough, so access costs are part of your written price, not a surprise at the end. Call (626) 389-1956 for a free estimate that accounts for your specific lot.
You should, and we do it for you. On any attached home, we notify the adjacent owner at least 48 hours before tear-off begins. This protects your relationship with your neighbor and prevents disputes over dust, debris, or property line access. It’s a simple courtesy that we’ve found keeps Maywood jobs running smoothly from day one.
We do not recommend roofing over existing layers, and in many cases Maywood building codes won’t allow it. Multiple layers hide decking rot and add weight your older roof structure may not have been designed for. We tear off down to the decking, inspect every sheet or plank, and replace anything compromised. The tear-off is labor-intensive, but it’s the only way to know what you actually have up there.
Modified bitumen is our recommendation for most Maywood flat roofs. It handles UV exposure and thermal expansion better than older built-up roofing, and it’s easier to repair if a tree branch or satellite dish penetrates the surface. CertainTeed’s Flintlastic and GAF’s Liberty systems are the two we install most often here, and both carry manufacturer warranties. Call (626) 389-1956 for a written quote to compare options.
Maywood restricts construction noise to daytime hours, which means our crews start at 7:00 a.m. and finish their loudest work, like tear-off and fastening, by early afternoon. On most Maywood homes, a full replacement takes 3 to 5 working days, though flat roofs with multiple tear-off layers can run longer. We build the noise schedule into our plan so you’re never surprised by a nail gun at 7 p.m.
If your roof is leaking, aging, or simply done, call us at (626) 389-1956. We’ll schedule a free estimate, walk the roof with you, and hand you a written price before any work starts. No surprises, no pressure, just a clear number and a plan for getting the job done right.
