Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Simi Valley contract, not assumed. Written scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Simi Valley work. Ventura County is no different. A good Simi Valley roofer will talk you out of the job you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is. Put simply, a Simi Valley contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. We see it on Simi Valley roofs every week. The Simi Valley roofing company who tells you a repair will do, when a patch will do, is the one worth calling back.
Snow is not the issue in Simi Valley, but overnight frost on north slopes slows drying through winter. This holds across Ventura County. Access is part of the written price on steep Simi Valley properties, and any honest estimate says so up front. Ventura County is no different. On most jobs, branches overhanging a Simi Valley roof drop debris year-round and give fire a path to the eave.
