In practice, skylight seals on Mission Bay roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Two visits a year keeps a Mission Bay roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and look over the flashings once past the first heavy storm.
Realistically, written scope, itemised price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Mission Bay job. Inspect that the Mission Bay crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Mission Bay contract, not assumed.
