In practice, a North Hollywood contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same work as the one who will. That is as true in North Hollywood as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Put simply, a contractor who explains why a North Hollywood roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to swap out it. This holds across Los Angeles County. Realistically, clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the North Hollywood contract, not assumed.
