Restoration in Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita's City Building Code, enforceable January 1, 2026, sets the roof rule for a fire repair outside Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Any roof covering put on in a repair or replacement must be at least Class B fire-retardant, and so must the whole roof once more than 50 percent of its area is replaced in one year. Inside the zones drawn from CAL FIRE maps on the city's GIS "Fire Zone" layer, a repaired roof must also meet the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code.
Ask the company which class it's quoting.
