The variable line on any Pico Rivera written price is deck make good, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance.

A Pico Rivera inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Realistically, we photograph every elevation on a Pico Rivera job so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Pico Rivera shingle roof covering, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does.
