Worth knowing before you sign anything. Roof pitch across Culver City varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. On most jobs, converted garages in Culver City are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion. That is as true in Culver City as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
