Reclaimed tile can be matched on Marina District heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Coatings suit Marina District buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. In practice, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Marina District even where code does not require them.
A Marina District adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. As a rule, code upgrade cover decides whether a Marina District claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Partial claims on a Marina District roof covering are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. It is the same story on most Marina District streets.
