El Cajon Roofing Questions

Repair makes sense on a El Cajon roof with life left and one localised failure; beyond that it is money spent twice. A El Cajon estimate worth comparing itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up.
What maintenance does a El Cajon roof need?
Most El Cajon roofs that fail early fail at a penetration somebody could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Two visits a year keeps a El Cajon roof honest: clear valleys and gutters before the rains, check flashings after the first storm.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in El Cajon?
A full replacement in El Cajon needs a permit and a final inspection; small repairs generally do not. Permits in El Cajon are pulled by the contractor as part of the job rather than left to the owner.

How do you inspect a roof in El Cajon?
