Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Maywood
Roof replacement in Maywood usually costs between $9,500 and $16,500 for a typical single-family stucco home, depending on decking condition, tear-off layers, and the shingle grade you choose. We’re Millstone Roofing, and we’ve worked on enough 1940s bungalows near Slauson and Randolph to know exactly what these roofs need before we ever set a ladder against the wall. If you’re in the 90270 ZIP and your roof is pushing 25-plus years, we can get a crew out to Maywood, inspect everything, and give you a written quote that covers the full scope. Call (855) 341-6021 to schedule that inspection first.
Why does being local to this specific city matter? Because Maywood is not Bell, and it’s not Cudahy. The lots are tighter, the houses are older, and the access is harder. A roofer who mostly works the wider-lot suburbs will price your job wrong or, worse, skip the decking work your 1940s skip sheathing actually needs.
Why Millstone Roofing Is Maywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Homeowners in Maywood tend to be skeptical of roofing sales pitches, and honestly, they should be. This city has a lot of older housing stock with deferred maintenance, which attracts out-of-town crews that show up, quote a tear-off, and leave the dry rot in place. Our process does not work that way. Every recommendation we make in Maywood starts with a documented roof inspection, with written findings you can read before any work is proposed. That inspection-first approach is why our business is built the way it is: one company handling inspection, repair, and full Roof Replacement, no handoffs between the person who diagnoses the problem and the crew that fixes it.
Nelson Ibarra leads our team, and he’s the person whose name goes on every estimate we write. That matters in a small city like Maywood, where word travels fast and a roofer’s reputation is built one street at a time. We do not subcontract the assessment or the installation. The same crew that tears off your old shingles is the crew that installs the new decking, underlayment, and shingles. When you call us about a roof on Randolph or Slauson, you’re talking to people who have actually worked those blocks.
Styles & brands we work with






Roof Installation in Maywood
Roof Installation in Maywood means something specific. It means tearing off an old roof on a 1,100-square-foot stucco bungalow with a low-pitch gable, packing the debris into a dumpster that barely fits on a 3-foot side yard, and staging every bundle of shingles from the street or alley because there is no driveway access to speak of. A full roof install in Maywood typically runs $9,500 to $14,500, and that includes new underlayment, drip edge, and all fasteners. When the decking under the old roof is shot, that adds $1,800 to $3,200 depending on how much sheathing has to come out.
Asphalt and Architectural Shingle Installations
Most Maywood homes get either a basic three-tab asphalt shingle or an architectural shingle like CertainTeed Landmark. Architectural shingles cost about $900 to $1,500 more on a house this size, but they carry a higher wind rating and last longer under basin sun. For Maywood’s hot, dry summers, we generally recommend an architectural shingle with a 130-mph wind rating.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing Over Additions
A huge share of Maywood houses have an old patio cover or garage addition with a flat or nearly flat roof. These sections almost always leak before the main house roof fails, because the original flashing was poor and the pitch is too shallow for shingles. On a low-slope section, we quote either a modified bitumen or a torch-down system, and those run $7 to $10 per square foot installed, plus decking if the plywood has rotted.
Roof Replacement Contractor in Maywood
Hiring a Roof Replacement Contractor in Maywood means finding someone who understands narrow-lot logistics and 80-year-old framing, not just someone who can nail shingles to a deck. That’s the job. A full replacement here usually costs $10,500 to $16,500 when you factor in tear-off, dumpster permits, decking repair, underlayment, and architectural shingles. A contractor who quotes below that range is almost certainly skipping something, and in Maywood, what gets skipped is usually the decking or the underlayment.
Full Roof Replacement, Permits and Inspections
Maywood requires a building permit for a full tear-off and reroof, and the city inspector will want to see the underlayment and the nailing pattern before the shingles go on. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and document everything. A cheap quote that says “no permit needed” is setting you up for a problem with your insurance company later.
Roof Decking Replacement on Older Homes
Most 1920s-1960s homes in Maywood were framed with 1×6 skip sheathing, meaning there are gaps between the boards. Modern shingle manufacturer warranties and the 130-mph wind rating both require solid decking that nails actually bite into. When we find skip sheathing, we quote solid plywood or OSB overlay, and in Maywood, we find it on nearly every tear-off.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood
We are not tied to one manufacturer, which means the shingle we recommend for your Maywood roof is the one that fits your house and your budget, not the one we get the best margin on. We work with seven leading roofing material brands, and for Maywood homes we regularly install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning products. If you want GAF Timberline HDZ with a Lifetime limited warranty, we can do that. If CertainTeed Landmark in a specific color is what the block calls for, we can do that too. The right material for your roof, not the easiest one for us to stock. Manufacturer-backed warranties are available through recognized brand programs, and we walk you through exactly what each one covers before you sign anything.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Maywood Homes
After inspecting and replacing roofs across Maywood, these are the problems we document more than anywhere else in the southeast LA basin:
- Dry-rotted skip sheathing under 1940s bungalows. The original 1×6 boards hold shingles fine for 40 years, then they lose their grip. Nails pull through, shingles lift in wind, and decking repair becomes the real cost of the job.
- No ice and water shield at valleys, walls, and penetrations. The previous reroof likely skipped it because “it never rains here.” Then the first winter storm sends water behind a flashed patio cover and into the addition.
- Re-covered dry-rotted fascia on narrow side yards. On lots along Slauson and Randolph, eaves sit a few feet from the neighbor’s wall. A cheap reroof leaves the rotted fascia in place, and the new drip edge has nothing solid to fasten to.
- Improper drip edge and zero soffit venting on low-pitch garage roofs. Under Marwood’s intense UV, trapped attic heat cooks the shingles from below. We rebuild the edge, add venting, and document it all for your insurance file.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Maywood, CA
A typical full roof replacement in Maywood runs $10,500 to $16,500 for a 1,000 to 1,400 square foot single-story home with architectural shingles. Tear-off adds $1,500 to $2,800 if there are multiple layers. Decking replacement runs $1,800 to $3,200 when the old skip sheathing or plywood fails, which happens on most 1920s-1960s homes here. Flat or low-slope sections over garages and additions run $7 to $10 per square foot installed. The single biggest price variable in Maywood is decking condition, and you will not know that until the old shingles come off. We give you a written line-item quote before we start, and if we find hidden rot during tear-off, we show you photos and get your sign-off before any change is made. Call (855) 341-6021 for a free, inspection-backed estimate.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Maywood
Yes. A full tear-off and reroof in Maywood requires a city building permit, and the inspector checks underlayment and nailing before shingles are installed. A compliant quote includes the permit fee, the scheduled inspection, and a documented nailing pattern that meets the 130-mph wind rating. Call (855) 341-6021 and we’ll walk you through the exact steps for your address.
Architectural shingles on a Maywood roof should carry a 130-mph wind rating, proven by the manufacturer’s published test data and an installation pattern that matches the spec. We install CertainTeed Landmark and GAF Timberline with a six-nail pattern where the rating requires it. The proof is the manufacturer datasheet, the permit inspection record, and your final invoice showing the spec. For an exact quote, call (855) 341-6021.
Line up the decking, underlayment, and permit lines first, because that’s where the cheap bids disappear the work. A $7,500 quote that skips solid decking on 1940s skip sheathing is thousands more expensive the first time a windstorm lifts a shingle. We give you a written line-item quote so you can see exactly what is and is not included. Call (855) 341-6021 and bring us the other bid; we’ll show you the gaps.
Yes. If your shingles lift in a wind event and you can show a permit inspection record, a 130-mph wind-rated installation, and a manufacturer-backed warranty, your claim has documentation behind it. A no-permit reroof leaves the carrier asking when and how the roof was installed, which is a bad place to be. We hand you the full compliance file when the job is done. Call (855) 341-6021 to start with an inspection.
Yes, and we do it regularly. On lots with 3 to 5 feet of side-yard access, we stage from the street or alley using a conveyor or boom, and we pull temporary no-parking permits for the dumpster. The close wall means we also check the neighbor-side fascia and drainage, because a downspout dumping over the fence creates a problem for everyone. Call (855) 341-6021 and we’ll put a plan together for your specific lot.
