A Montebello contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. Los Angeles County is no different. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Montebello contract, not assumed. Payment schedules on Montebello work should track progress, never run ahead of it.

Put simply, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Montebello tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
Seasonal demand in Montebello affects scheduling more than price, but booking ahead of the rains helps both.

7How We Inspect a Montebello Roof
