Annual inspection on a Ingleside property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. San Francisco County is no different.
Supplements are normal on Ingleside claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Policies covering Ingleside properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Ingleside roof, and the policy wording decides which applies.
