Original decking on older Laguna Niguel homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Laguna Niguel roof more than the headline figure does. In practice, phasing a large Laguna Niguel building across two seasons is more often than not cheaper than financing the whole project at once. The variable line on any Laguna Niguel quote is deck make good, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
