San Diego County is no different. Multi-unit buildings in National City as a rule need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off make good.
On most jobs, the National City contractor who tells you a make good will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. We see it on National City roofs every week. Put simply, check that the National City crew doing the the project is employed by the company quoting it. San Diego County is no different. A good National City roofer will talk you out of work you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is.
