Why Maywood roofs wear the way they do

Ask ten Maywood owners about their roof and you get the same complaints: the weather here punishes details, not products. From the yard it is roughly 6 miles southeast to Maywood - no travel surcharge, no week-long wait.

The roofs in Bell, Cudahy and Commerce are built much the same way, and they fail the same way.

• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.
• Dry-in happens the same day the old roof comes off; nothing sits open overnight.
• Solar panels get detached and reset on a schedule that matches the roofing crew.
• Satellite dishes and A/C line sets are re-flashed, not just set back down.
• Permits and inspections run through the local building department, and we pull them rather than leaving it to you.

We would rather be on your roof in September than during the first atmospheric river. We will tell you if the roof has five years left, because that is also useful to know.

Before, during and after

Warranty paperwork is registered for you, not left in a folder for you to chase.

• You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.
• Drip edge and starter course get installed properly - that is half the wind resistance.
• Ice-and-water goes in at the valleys and penetrations even though it rarely freezes here.
• Ventilation gets looked at while the roof is open; most Maywood attics run hotter than they should.

The Maywood version of this job

There is nothing abstract about a Maywood roof: the same three details cause most of the leaks we are called out for. From the shop it is a 6-mile run southeast to Maywood, so emergencies get a same-day answer.

Crews rotate through Bell, Cudahy and Commerce, so nothing about these streets is new to us.

• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.
• Where an HOA sets colour or material rules, we match the approved list before the job is quoted.
• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• Tile is sorted and reused where it is sound, which keeps the roof looking original.

A roof opened in October is a different job from one opened in January. Expect photos, a measured scope and a number you can compare against anyone else.

How we run the job in Maywood

Rake and eave metal is new on every job; reusing bent metal is false economy.

• Deck repairs are priced per sheet so there is no surprise number halfway through.
• Change orders are discussed before anything is done, not billed afterwards.
• Workmanship coverage is ours to honour, and we are still here to honour it.
• Ridge venting goes in where the roof line allows it, with proper intake at the eaves.
