Maywood prices
What a metal roof costs in Maywood
Metal costs roughly double asphalt and lasts roughly three times as long. Whether that is a good trade depends entirely on how long you intend to stay.

We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Maywood and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Maywood is built. No contractor is bound by them, and nobody can price a roof they have not stood on.
| Covering | Per square | Typical whole roof | Expected life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingleThe default choice on most American homes, and usually the right one. | $650 – $925 | $11,500 – $26,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,500 | $27,000 – $70,000 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
Ask any contractor quoting metal to show you a standing-seam job they finished several years ago. The edges will tell you what you need to know.

Questions about price
What should I do to prepare?
Clear the driveway, protect attic storage from falling dust, and plan for two loud days. Agree in advance where the dumpster goes and who sweeps for nails.
Do I have to hire anyone?
No. Take the quotes, sit on them, use them to argue with your insurer, or throw them away. There is nothing to cancel and nothing owed.
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
Contractors have to give us their state licence number and proof of liability and workers compensation cover before they can receive requests. You should still ask to see current certificates yourself before work starts — a licence can lapse between checks.
