Walking a Lemon Grove tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone.
Manufacturer certification matters on Lemon Grove jobs given that it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Ask a Lemon Grove contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. We see it on Lemon Grove roofs every week. Ask any Lemon Grove roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off. San Diego County is no different.
