San Diego County is no different. Solar removal and reset on a Hidden Meadows job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. Put simply, reroofing over existing layers in Hidden Meadows is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. We see it on Hidden Meadows roofs every week.
The majority of Hidden Meadows roofs that let go early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Hidden Meadows property pays for itself the earliest time a claim is questioned. Resealing penetrations on a Hidden Meadows roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building.
