Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Valley Village contract, not assumed. Local experience matters in Valley Village given that the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice. Realistically, look over that the Valley Village crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. Ask any Valley Village roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off. Two warranties apply on Valley Village work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. We see it on Valley Village roofs every week.
Permit requirements in Valley Village run through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Minor repairs usually do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. The project in Valley Village is inspected as well as permitted — the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. Fire-zone properties around Valley Village carry assembly requirements that the permit will look over against.
