Photographs taken before any tarping on a Mission Bay property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. We see it on Mission Bay roofs every week. Realistically, supplements are normal on Mission Bay claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Mission Bay roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. We do not advise filing a Mission Bay claim where the damage is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, we work alongside the adjuster on Mission Bay claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter.
