Garage and patio roofs in West Covina are frequently lower slope than the house and call for an entirely different system.
The West Covina contractor who tells you a make good will do, when a make good will do, is the one worth calling back. It is the same story on most West Covina streets. On most jobs, two warranties apply on West Covina work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. As a rule, payment schedules on West Covina work should track progress, never run ahead of it.
