Two warranties apply on West Covina work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Los Angeles County is no different. Check the CSLB licence number in advance of any West Covina roofing company starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. In practice, clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the West Covina contract, not assumed. Ask a West Covina contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the the job from the street. Local references beat national brand badges on any West Covina roofing decision. Los Angeles County is no different. In practice, a contractor who explains why a West Covina roof covering failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it.
Put simply, budgeting a West Covina replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a roofer during a storm. It is the same story on most West Covina streets. Financing makes sense on a West Covina roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. In practice, a West Covina roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
