As a rule, clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Los Alamitos contract, not assumed. Orange County is no different. Two warranties apply on Los Alamitos the project: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. In practice, local experience is what decides it in Los Alamitos because the failure modes here are thermal load, gusting and drainage rather than snow and ice. Orange County is no different. Check that the Los Alamitos crew doing the the job is employed by the company quoting it. Manufacturer certification is what decides it on Los Alamitos jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Orange County is no different. A contractor who explains why a Los Alamitos roof covering failed is more use than one who only quotes to swap out it. This holds across Orange County.
Original decking on older Los Alamitos homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. That is as true in Los Alamitos as anywhere in Orange County. Older Los Alamitos buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Garage and patio roofs in Los Alamitos are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system.
