What permits, inspections, and HOA approvals does Moreno Valley require for a new roof?

Moreno Valley 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 Moreno Valley contractor's quote skips any of these — missing line items in the bid usually surface as change orders during the job.
My home in Moreno Valley is older. Does that affect the cost?
