A Financial District adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Policies covering Financial District properties generally pay for sudden deterioration and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. San Francisco County is no different. Realistically, matching provisions in a policy matter on Financial District tile roof coverings where the original profile is discontinued.
Attic temperatures in Financial District drive shingle service life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Debris in Financial District valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot generally starts. As a rule, low-slope sections in Financial District hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here.
