As a rule, we work alongside the adjuster on Mission Viejo claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter.
As a rule, 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. Reroofing over existing layers in Mission Viejo is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A permitted Mission Viejo re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof covering.
