1Vetting a Contractor in Montebello
As a rule, ask any Montebello roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off.

Realistically, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Montebello work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
