Deductibles on Glen Park policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. On most jobs, wind and storm damage on a Glen Park roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Supplements are normal on Glen Park claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. A Glen Park adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough.
Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Glen Park tile roof, given that that is the layer doing the waterproofing. San Francisco County is no different. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Glen Park where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. This holds across San Francisco County. Realistically, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Glen Park even where code does not require them. We see it on Glen Park roofs every week.
