Why Barnwood Roofing Is Maywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We work on a lot of homes in Maywood, and through our Maywood CertainTeed service we’ve learned what this city’s housing stock actually needs. Most of the work we quote here lands on pre-1960 bungalows with additions, converted garages, and roofs that have been re-covered two or three times rather than properly torn off. That’s a different job than what contractors in newer cities are used to, and our crews plan for it from the first visit. Ruben Calloway leads our team, and he’s built our reputation around telling homeowners the truth about what’s under their shingles. When a roof only needs repair, we say so. That’s why Maywood customers keep calling us back and referring neighbors on the same block.
We respond to Maywood quotes quickly, typically same week for inspections. Our office is in Fontana, so we’re a straight shot down the 710, and we schedule jobs grouped by area to reduce wait time. You’ll get a real person on the phone, not a call center.
Styles & brands we work with






Flat Roof Replacement in Maywood
Flat Roof Replacement in Maywood usually costs $3,500-$6,500 depending on whether we need to replace decking and how bad the ponding has gotten. The flat and low-slope roofs we see here are almost always on porches, enclosed patios, and rear additions, not on the main house. These are the roofs that leak first on Maywood homes, because contractors who did the original additions cut corners on slope and flashing.
What the job involves
We remove the existing membrane, inspect the decking underneath, replace any rot found, and install a new membrane system matched to the slope. On low-slope sections we’ll often add a tapered system to move water toward the drain or scupper so it stops ponding after rain. In Maywood, the long hot summers bake old flat-roof coatings quickly, so we lean toward membrane products from GAF and Owens Corning that hold up under UV without annual recoating.
When it needs replacing
If your porch roof leaks after winter storms, or you can see visible ponding that doesn’t drain within 48 hours of rain, you’re near the end of that roof’s life. Patching a failing membrane is a temporary fix. On many Maywood additions, we find the original roof was installed without enough slope, and the only real fix is a tear-off and proper re-slope. We give you that answer before you agree to anything.
Roof Installation in Maywood
Roof Installation in Maywood means a full tear-off and replacement, not a cover-over, and it typically runs $8,000-$14,000 for the main roof on a single-story bungalow. The range is wide because the decking underneath is the unknown variable. When we bid a roof here, we include a fixed per-sheet decking allowance in writing, so if we find rot once the shingles come off, you already know what it costs. We don’t spring it on you after the dumpster’s in the driveway.
Choosing the right shingle
For Maywood’s bungalows, architectural shingles make sense most of the time. They handle the Santa Ana wind better than three-tab, and the dimensional look suits the older minimal traditional houses you see off Slauson and the LA River side. We can price asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, and flat-roof systems side by side because we’re not locked into one brand. We’ll tell you whether a CertainTeed is worth the premium over a standard GAF on your specific roof, and we won’t push you toward the most expensive option if your house doesn’t call for it.
Decking and drip edge
On older Maywood homes, the drip edge is usually missing or rusted through, and the rakes and eaves have been covered by multiple layers of shingle for decades. We set new drip edge on every replacement because it keeps water from wicking back under the shingles at the fascia, and it’s what stops the streaking you see on so many eaves around this city. That’s standard in our numbers, not an upsell.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood
We install and work with GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning products for Maywood customers, with other lines through our broader manufacturer access. What that means for you is an honest comparison across names, not a sales pitch for whatever’s in the warehouse. We’ll match the product to your roof’s exposure, slope, and your budget. For Maywood’s aging bungalows, we often recommend architectural shingles from GAF or CertainTeed for the wind resistance and longevity, but we’ll show you the numbers on each so you decide.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Maywood Homes
- Multiple baked-on shingle layers hiding decking damage. A lot of these 1940s-60s bungalows have three or four layers of composition shingle baked into a single mass. Underneath, the original skip sheathing is often split or the decking was patched with whatever was handy decades ago.
- Ponding and flashing leaks on flat additions. Enclosed porches and rear additions with low-slope roofs leak at the flashing and scuppers, especially after winter storms. The long hot summers here also bake flat-roof coatings fast, so the membrane cracks and separates from the parapet.
- Santa Ana wind damage along eaves and ridges. Those October-December wind events lift and crack aging shingles, especially on the windward side of homes near the LA River corridor. Missing tabs and creased shingles are the first signs you’ll notice from the street.
- Narrow access and tight lot lines affecting installation. Maywood’s lots are small, and many roofs are accessed from the alley side. That means dumpster placement, material staging, and tear-off debris all have to be planned around adjacent properties and shared driveways, which is not the job for a crew that’s never worked this city.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Maywood
Because most Maywood homes have multiple baked-on shingle layers, and nobody knows what the decking looks like until those layers come off. On the blocks off Slauson and near the LA River, it’s routine to find three or four layers over original skip sheathing and patched decking from prior re-roofs. Contractors who bid low and “discover” the damage after tear-off hit you with change orders. We put a fixed per-sheet decking allowance in writing before we start, so your final number doesn’t move unless we find something genuinely unexpected. Call (855) 382-1073 and we’ll explain exactly how the allowance works.
We can, but we almost never recommend it on Maywood’s housing stock. Most of these bungalows already have two to four layers, and building code caps the number of layers you can roof over. Adding another layer hides failing decking that’s likely already compromised, and it shortens the life of the new shingles because trapped heat bakes the system from below. On a house you plan to keep, a clean tear-off is the honest answer. We’ll tell you if a repair is enough instead, and many roofs we assess only need targeted work.
A standard tear-off and architectural shingle replacement on a Maywood bungalow takes 3 to 5 working days once the materials are on site, assuming the decking doesn’t need a full re-sheath. Full re-sheathing adds a day or two. The material order often sets the calendar, not our crew. We’ll give you a real timeline when we inspect your roof, and we hold to it. Call (855) 382-1073 for an assessment and a schedule you can plan around.
Yes. A large share of the leak calls we get in Maywood are on flat and low-slope porch and addition roofs, not on the main shingle roof. These roofs pond, their flashing separates from the house, and the coatings bake out in the hot summers. We inspect the structure, advise whether re-sloping is needed, and replace the membrane with a system that moves water properly. Call (855) 382-1073 and we’ll check your porch roof as part of a free full-roof assessment.
Ask about the decking allowance, the number of layers being removed, and whether the material order will be fixed before work starts. Ask if the bid includes new drip edge and underlayment, and whether the crew has worked on the city’s tight-lot bungalows before. If a bidder won’t talk about what’s under your shingles, that’s your warning sign. We’ll answer all of those questions in writing before you sign.
