Wind and storm damage on a Mission Viejo roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Deductibles on Mission Viejo policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. We see it on Mission Viejo roofs every week.

On most jobs, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Mission Viejo shingle roof, and it shows up years in advance of a ceiling stain does. As a rule, moisture readings matter on Mission Viejo low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. A Mission Viejo inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
