Realistically, a Studio City estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately.
The Studio City roofer who tells you a patch will do, when a patch will do, is the one worth calling back. Los Angeles County is no different. On most jobs, ask a Studio City contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. Put simply, two warranties apply on Studio City the job: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both.
