Full replacements in Mission Viejo generally require a permit through the Mission Viejo building department, with an inspection once the work is finished. Orange County is no different. Put simply, reroofing over existing layers in Mission Viejo is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. It is the same story on most Mission Viejo streets.
Attic temperatures in Mission Viejo drive shingle service life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Orange County is no different. Dust and grit settle on Mission Viejo roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Thermal cycling does the damage in Mission Viejo — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year.
