Inspect that the Los Alamitos crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. That is as true in Los Alamitos as anywhere in Orange County. Realistically, manufacturer certification matters on Los Alamitos jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. We see it on Los Alamitos roofs every week. On most jobs, payment schedules on Los Alamitos work should track progress, never run ahead of it. A Los Alamitos roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. Ask any Los Alamitos roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off. Beware the Los Alamitos quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition.
Codes change, and the Los Alamitos building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Los Alamitos quote should state the assembly being laid. A permitted Los Alamitos re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. Fire-zone properties around Los Alamitos carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against. Orange County is no different.
