In practice, photographs taken before any tarping on a Noe Valley property are the the majority of valuable evidence in the whole claim. We see it on Noe Valley roofs every week.
In practice, a Noe Valley inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Worth knowing before you sign anything. As a rule, drone access on steep or fragile Noe Valley roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Damp readings matter on Noe Valley low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it.
