Roof pitch across Pico Rivera varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. It is the same story on most Pico Rivera streets.
A Pico Rivera roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. We see it on Pico Rivera roofs every week. Manufacturer certification matters on Pico Rivera jobs since it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Beware the Pico Rivera quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition.
