Dust and grit settle on Lemon Grove roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Sealant is the first casualty in Lemon Grove; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
The variable line on any Lemon Grove written price is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Lemon Grove roof more than the headline figure does. We see it on Lemon Grove roofs every week. Phasing a large Lemon Grove building across two seasons is more often than not cheaper than financing the whole job at once.
