A Imperial Beach quote that comes in far below the others is as a rule missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. San Diego County is no different.
Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Imperial Beach contract, not assumed. Ask any Imperial Beach roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. On most jobs, a Imperial Beach contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will.
