Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Imperial Beach roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life.
Structural the job on a Imperial Beach roof triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. San Diego County is no different. Work in Imperial Beach is inspected as well as permitted — the county or city building department covering Imperial Beach signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. Solar removal and reset on a Imperial Beach job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. This holds across San Diego County.
