5Roofing Materials That Suit Maywood
On most jobs, underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Maywood tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Flat and low-slope sections in Maywood need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Put simply, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Maywood roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life. It is the same story on most Maywood streets. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Maywood where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. We see it on Maywood roofs every week.

A Maywood property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.
