Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Woodland Hills contract, not assumed. We see it on Woodland Hills roofs every week.
Put simply, original decking on older Woodland Hills homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. On most jobs, older Woodland Hills buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. Realistically, a Woodland Hills property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.
