In practice, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Mission Bay roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. San Francisco County is no different. As a rule, denied Mission Bay claims are frequently reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Mission Bay claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like.

Realistically, written scope, itemised price and a itemised warranty are the minimum on any Mission Bay job. A Mission Bay roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. Manufacturer certification is what decides it on Mission Bay jobs given that it is what makes the material warranty enforceable.
