Solar arrays on Dana Point roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. Realistically, garage and patio roof coverings in Dana Point are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system.

As a rule, photographs taken ahead of any tarping on a Dana Point property are the the majority of valuable evidence in the whole claim. It is the same story on most Dana Point streets. Put simply, we do not advise filing a Dana Point claim where the damage is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record. We see it on Dana Point roofs every week. A Dana Point adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough.
