Original decking on older Granada Hills homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.

A Granada Hills contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Granada Hills contract, not assumed. We see it on Granada Hills roofs every week. Realistically, the Granada Hills contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back.
