On most jobs, roof pitch across San Dimas varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Los Angeles County is no different.
A San Dimas contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. Look over the CSLB licence number ahead of any San Dimas contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. It is the same story on most San Dimas streets. In practice, local experience counts in San Dimas given that the failure modes here are heat, gusting and drainage rather than snow and ice.
