Flashings at the chimney on an older Winter Gardens house as a rule need attention well before the covering does.
A Winter Gardens contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same project as the one who will.

Infrared scanning on a Winter Gardens commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. San Diego County is no different. Photographs with dates are part of every Winter Gardens inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Core samples settle the argument on a Winter Gardens low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible.
