Reroofing over existing layers in Hidden Meadows is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. Historic districts near Hidden Meadows may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming in advance of materials are ordered. In practice, permit fees in Hidden Meadows are a small part of the work and a large part of what protects the homeowner at resale. This holds across San Diego County.
Drone access on steep or fragile Hidden Meadows roof coverings gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. A Hidden Meadows roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Realistically, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Hidden Meadows job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
