A Valley Village quote that comes in far below the others is in most cases missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
Supplements are normal on Valley Village claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. On most jobs, code upgrade cover decides whether a Valley Village claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Partial claims on a Valley Village roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. Los Angeles County is no different.
