9Vetting a Contractor in Poway
In practice, payment schedules on Poway work should track progress, never run ahead of it. The Poway contractor who tells you a make good will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. We see it on Poway roofs every week. Realistically, two warranties apply on Poway work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Poway contract, not assumed. This holds across San Diego County. Local experience matters in Poway because the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice.
Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Poway roof coverings, since the sheathing commonly lets go ahead of the shingle does. On most jobs, a Poway inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We see it on Poway roofs every week. Realistically, a proper Poway inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long before the covering does.
