As a rule, a permitted Santa Paula re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. It is the same story on most Santa Paula streets. In practice, structural the project on a Santa Paula roof triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. This holds across Ventura County. Codes change, and the Santa Paula building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Santa Paula written price should state the assembly being installed. Ventura County is no different.
