As a rule, ask any Dana Point roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer in advance of the covering comes off. That is as true in Dana Point as anywhere in Orange County. Payment schedules on Dana Point the project should track progress, never run ahead of it.
Photographs taken before any tarping on a Dana Point property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim.
