Debris in Bonsall valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot generally starts.
Two warranties apply on Bonsall work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. In practice, documented scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Bonsall job. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Bonsall contract, not assumed. That is as true in Bonsall as anywhere in San Diego County.
