A permitted La Palma re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. This holds across Orange County.
Financing makes sense on a La Palma roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. It is the same story on most La Palma streets. A La Palma estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. Orange County is no different. On most jobs, the variable line on any La Palma written price is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance.
