Roof replacement in Maywood
The price gap between the cheapest and the most expensive quote on the same roof is routinely forty per cent. That gap is not always quality, and it is never obvious from the paperwork.

Three questions, then the address. Up to three Maywood contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
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.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a replacement job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Who pulls the permit, and what the inspection schedule looks like
- Ventilation: what is there now, what it should be
- How the site is protected, and who cleans up the nails
- A written per-sheet price for replacing bad decking
- Which underlayment, and whether ice-and-water goes on the eaves and valleys
Two quotes at the same price can be very different roofs. Compare the layers, not the brand name on the shingle.
Insist on knowing what happens to decking that turns out to be rotten. The good answer is a per-sheet price agreed in writing before the job starts.
Warranties come in two halves that get deliberately confused. The manufacturer covers the material, and only if it was installed to specification. The contractor covers the workmanship, and only for as long as they stay in business.
Locally
Then, less dramatically: wind-blown embers landing in the valleys. Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
About replacement here
Is moss on the roof a problem?
Yes, eventually. Moss holds water against the shingle and lifts the edges as it thickens. Zinc or copper strip at the ridge suppresses it. Pressure washing an asphalt roof strips the granules and does more harm than the moss did.
Is this really free?
It is free to you. Contractors pay to receive homeowner requests in their area. That is the entire business model, and we would rather say so plainly than pretend otherwise.
What does a new roof cost in Maywood?
For a typical Maywood home of about 23 squares, an architectural asphalt re-roof usually lands between $11,500 and $26,000. Tile, slate and standing-seam metal run well above that. The number moves on how many old layers come off, how much decking is soft underneath, and how easily a truck can get to the house.
Are you a roofing company?
No. Stormguard Roofing — Maywood is a free matching service. We do not hold a roofing licence, we do not employ crews, and we never come to your house. We pass your request to independent local contractors who do the work and who you hire directly.
