Coating over wet insulation seals the trouble in rather than solving it. San Diego County is no different.
Payment schedules on Lemon Grove work should track progress, never run ahead of it. Ask any Lemon Grove roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. A good Lemon Grove roofer will talk you out of work you do not call for, which is the clearest signal there is.
