Two warranties apply on Lawndale work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. This holds across Los Angeles County. A good Lawndale roofer will talk you out of work you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is.
Permit requirements in Lawndale run through the Lawndale building department. Minor repairs generally do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. Solar removal and reset on a Lawndale job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. Commercial the project in Lawndale as a rule involves more review than residential and a longer lead time.
