Work in Dana Point is inspected as well as permitted — the Dana Point building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. We see it on Dana Point roofs every week. Permit requirements in Dana Point run through the Dana Point building department. Minor repairs usually do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. Full replacements in Dana Point generally require a permit through the Dana Point building department, with an inspection once the the project is finished. It is the same story on most Dana Point streets.
Deck replacement on a Dana Point job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. That is as true in Dana Point as anywhere in Orange County. Phasing a large Dana Point building across two seasons is commonly cheaper than financing the whole work at once. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Financing makes sense on a Dana Point roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. Orange County is no different.
