2Pricing a Lomita Roof Honestly

That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. It is the same story on most Lomita streets. The variable line on any Lomita quote is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. A Lomita roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a written price based on half the information.
