As a rule, keeping a dated maintenance file on a Ingleside property pays for itself the soonest time a claim is questioned. Skylight seals on Ingleside roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity.
Realistically, most Ingleside claims that let go do so since the damage was cleaned up or patched ahead of anyone photographed it. Matching provisions in a policy matter on Ingleside tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. In practice, we work alongside the adjuster on Ingleside claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter.
