A North Hollywood inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. On most jobs, a correct North Hollywood inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does.
Codes change, and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a North Hollywood quote should state the assembly being fitted. Los Angeles County is no different. On most jobs, historic districts near North Hollywood may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. Solar removal and reset on a North Hollywood job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. Los Angeles County is no different.
