In practice, payment schedules on Diamond Heights work should track progress, never run ahead of it. Ask a Diamond Heights roofer for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. A contractor who explains why a Diamond Heights roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
