As a rule, a Pacoima roofer who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. Written scope, documented price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Pacoima work. Realistically, check the CSLB licence number in advance of any Pacoima contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Inspect that the Pacoima crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it.
Converted garages in Pacoima are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Roof pitch across Pacoima varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. It is the same story on most Pacoima streets. Older Pacoima buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
