Supplements are normal on Duarte claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. That is as true in Duarte as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Policies covering Duarte properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Los Angeles County is no different. Deductibles on Duarte policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. Wind and storm damage on a Duarte roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. It is the same story on most Duarte streets.

On most jobs, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Duarte even where code does not require them. That is as true in Duarte as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
