Roof replacement and repair in Moorpark
Moorpark's housing element states that most of the city's housing was built after 1980, with 47 percent of all units built in the 1980s alone. Single-family homes account for 73 percent of the housing stock.
If your home is one of them and still has its original roof, that roof is now about 40 years old. On a tile roof, that is the age at which the underlayment beneath the tile commonly fails, even though the tile looks fine.

Moorpark roofing questions
Who issues roofing permits in Moorpark?
The City of Moorpark Building and Safety Division, which reviews plans and issues building permits. We confirm the requirement for your re-roof with the division and pull the permit.
Does a new roof in Moorpark have to be fire rated?
Yes. Moorpark's municipal code requires roof coverings to be Class A or Class B, and it does not permit wooden shakes or shingles. We install Class A systems.
My 1980s tile roof has never been redone. Should I replace it?
Have it inspected first. The tile is probably reusable, and the usual need at that age is new underlayment beneath it. We lift the tile, renew the underlayment and flashing, and relay the tile.
