Look over that the San Fernando crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it.
Loose ridge caps on a San Fernando roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one following. Two visits a year keeps a San Fernando roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. In practice, checking the attic once past the earliest heavy rain in San Fernando finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage.
