Two visits a year keeps a Sea Cliff roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings once past the first heavy storm.
Payment schedules on Sea Cliff the job should track progress, never run ahead of it. We see it on Sea Cliff roofs every week. A Sea Cliff contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same project as the one who will. Local experience is what decides it in Sea Cliff because the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
