New roofs in Santa Fe Springs go on additions, garages and units.
Class A and the fire map
Check the address on the CAL FIRE map viewer, then the city's fire or building office can say whether your plans need a Class A covering. Whatever the answer, the class belongs to a tested assembly.
Matching an older roof
An addition roof joins an old deck, which may be spaced boards. The seam is where water gets in if the sequence is wrong. Plan underlayment lapped over the joint, with flashing at the pitch change.
What the plans should show
Slope, deck, underlayment, flashing, the covering, fire class and cool roof values for zone 9, and the vents. The City of Santa Fe Springs issues the permit and lists its building forms online.
