In practice, two warranties apply on Laguna Woods work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Ask any Laguna Woods roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Check that the Laguna Woods crew doing the the project is employed by the company quoting it. That is as true in Laguna Woods as anywhere in Orange County.
