A proper Encinitas inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long ahead of the covering does. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Encinitas roofs, since the sheathing commonly gives out ahead of the shingle does.
Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Encinitas roof covering, and the policy wording decides which applies. We see it on Encinitas roofs every week. Insurance work in Encinitas turns on documentation. Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. Photographs taken before any tarping on a Encinitas property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. This holds across San Diego County.
