On most jobs, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Los Alamitos roofs, since the sheathing often fails ahead of the shingle does.
Local references beat national brand badges on any Los Alamitos roofing decision. Two warranties apply on Los Alamitos work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. As a rule, ask a Los Alamitos contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the the job from the street. We see it on Los Alamitos roofs every week.
