What permits and inspections does Farmington require for a new roof?

What should a desert-climate roofing quote in Farmington include?
Farmington quotes should list tear-off, underlayment (reflective preferred), flashing, drip edge, starter strip, ridge cap, decking inspection, disposal/cleanup, and the permit. In a desert climate, your quote should call out radiant barrier or reflective underlayment and tile/metal fastening patterns rated for high temperatures. Push back if a Farmington contractor's quote skips any of these — missing line items in the bid usually surface as change orders during the job.
My home in Farmington is older. Does that affect the cost?
Often yes. Homes in Farmington average around 39 years old. Older roofs may need additional decking repair, updated ventilation, or code-required upgrades that add to the base replacement cost.
