A good Hidden Meadows roofer will talk you out of the job you do not call for, which is the clearest signal there is. Check that the Hidden Meadows crew doing the the job is employed by the company quoting it. Ask any Hidden Meadows roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer in advance of the covering comes off. This holds across San Diego County. In practice, payment schedules on Hidden Meadows work should track progress, never run ahead of it. San Diego County is no different. A Hidden Meadows roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. We see it on Hidden Meadows roofs every week.
Flat and low-slope sections in Hidden Meadows need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Hidden Meadows low-slope roofs, and the choice as a rule comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Mixing materials across a Hidden Meadows roof is fine provided each section gets the system it requires and the transitions are flashed properly.
