How long does an LA composition reroof take?

3–5 days on a 2,000 sqft house.

Composition vs tile — what lasts longer in LA?

Tile 40–50 years vs composition 25–30. Tile costs 2x but lasts a lifetime.

Can my Irvine HOA block an ADU?

No. State law preempts HOA prohibition of ADUs. The HOA can review materials and elevations, but cannot deny the permit outright.

Do I need a CDP for a Newport Beach ADU?

Most of Newport's Balboa Peninsula and oceanfront sit in the Coastal Zone, requiring a CDP. Inland Newport parcels typically do not.

Orange County Roofing.

Tear-off to deck, replace soft sheathing, new underlayment, reroof in composition, concrete tile, or standing-seam metal. Title 24 cool-roof on every job.

Orange County permits are quick when the parcel is in a streamlined city (Irvine, Anaheim, Santa Ana) and slower when the city is small and beachfront (Laguna, Newport's Balboa Peninsula). The most common schedule risk is the master-planned-community HOA — the building permit is fast, but the architectural review committee runs on its own monthly schedule.

Coastal Zone CDP in Laguna / Newport adds $20–60k in soft costs and timeline.
