A correct Jamul inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long ahead of the covering does. Photographs with dates are part of every Jamul inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.

Checking the attic after the earliest heavy wet weather in Jamul finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. Two visits a year keeps a Jamul roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and look over the flashings after the first heavy storm.
4Vetting a Contractor in Jamul
