Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Borrego Springs roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. We see it on Borrego Springs roofs every week.
Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Borrego Springs tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Borrego Springs inspection, because that is where the majority of ceiling stains originate. Infrared scanning on a Borrego Springs commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.
