On most jobs, make good makes sense on a Hidden Meadows roof covering with service life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. In practice, cost on a Hidden Meadows roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. This holds across San Diego County.
The permit record for a Hidden Meadows property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Put simply, reroofing over existing layers in Hidden Meadows is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. On most jobs, codes change, and the county or city building department covering Hidden Meadows applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Hidden Meadows quote should state the assembly being laid.
