As a rule, a roofing company who explains why a Pacoima roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to swap out it. It is the same story on most Pacoima streets. On most jobs, check that the Pacoima crew doing the the project is employed by the company quoting it. Ask any Pacoima roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
