Two warranties apply on San Fernando the job: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. It is the same story on most San Fernando streets. Inspect that the San Fernando crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it.
On most jobs, checking the attic once past the soonest heavy rain in San Fernando finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. Two visits a year keeps a San Fernando roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and inspect the flashings after the first heavy storm. Most San Fernando roofs that give out early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. We see it on San Fernando roofs every week.
