Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Poway contract, not assumed. As a rule, look over the CSLB licence number in advance of any Poway contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. It is the same story on most Poway streets. Local experience is what decides it in Poway given that the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Manufacturer certification matters on Poway jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Ask any Poway roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off.
On most jobs, wind load and storm damage on a Poway roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. That is as true in Poway as anywhere in San Diego County. Deductibles on Poway policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Most Poway claims that fail do so since the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it.
