Tile underlayment in Valley Village dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street.
On most jobs, the Valley Village roofer who tells you a repair will do, when a make good will do, is the one worth calling back. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Valley Village contract, not assumed. Los Angeles County is no different. As a rule, payment schedules on Valley Village work should track progress, never run ahead of it. Los Angeles County is no different.
