Solar removal and reset on a Ingleside work can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one.
Policies covering Ingleside properties generally pay for sudden deterioration and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. On most jobs, matching provisions in a policy matter on Ingleside tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. That is as true in Ingleside as anywhere in San Francisco County. Deductibles on Ingleside policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case.
