Written, itemised estimates let Mission Viejo owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. On most jobs, square footage is only half the cost of a Mission Viejo roof covering; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. A Mission Viejo estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. A Mission Viejo roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information.
Written scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Mission Viejo job. Two warranties apply on Mission Viejo work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. It is the same story on most Mission Viejo streets. Ask a Mission Viejo roofer for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the the job from the street.
