Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Lemon Grove contract, not assumed.

As a rule, material choice changes a Lemon Grove roof budget less than nearly all property owners expect; labour and complexity dominate. This holds across San Diego County. Square footage is only half the cost of a Lemon Grove roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. We see it on Lemon Grove roofs every week. Cost on a Lemon Grove roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. San Diego County is no different.
