On most jobs, the job in Fountain Valley is inspected as well as permitted — the Fountain Valley building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Put simply, reroofing over existing layers in Fountain Valley is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. We see it on Fountain Valley roofs every week. Historic districts near Fountain Valley may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered.
