Financing makes sense on a Diamond Heights roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. A Diamond Heights roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a written price based on half the information. Realistically, a Diamond Heights written price that comes in far below the others is in most cases missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. San Francisco County is no different. Realistically, square footage is only half the cost of a Diamond Heights roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much.
Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Diamond Heights roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. San Francisco County is no different. Insurance the job in Diamond Heights turns on documentation. Harm recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. Photographs taken in advance of any tarping on a Diamond Heights property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim.
