Documented scope, documented price and a written warranty are the minimum on any San Gabriel job. Los Angeles County is no different. Put simply, local references beat national brand badges on any San Gabriel roofing decision.
Moss on a shaded San Gabriel slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Los Angeles County is no different. Skylight seals on San Gabriel roofs want checking annually, as they give out quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. This holds across Los Angeles County. As a rule, most San Gabriel roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.
