Realistically, look over the CSLB licence number ahead of any Valley Center roofer starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Itemised scope, itemised price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Valley Center job. Ask any Valley Center roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off.
