What should a desert-climate roofing quote in Yuma include?
Yuma quotes should list tear-off, underlayment (reflective preferred), flashing, drip edge, starter strip, ridge cap, decking inspection, disposal/cleanup, and the permit.

If your Yuma quote leaves any of these unlisted, ask the contractor to itemize the omission before signing — that's where change-order surprises come from.
