Supplements are normal on Los Alamitos claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. On most jobs, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Los Alamitos roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. Partial claims on a Los Alamitos roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. Wind and storm damage on a Los Alamitos roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere.
In practice, a proper Los Alamitos inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Orange County is no different. Core samples settle the argument on a Los Alamitos low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. A Los Alamitos roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath.
