Historic districts near Montebello may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Cheap Montebello quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. A Montebello roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a estimate based on half the information. It is the same story on most Montebello streets. Deck replacement on a Montebello job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
