Photographs taken in advance of any tarping on a Noe Valley property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Put simply, policies covering Noe Valley properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. San Francisco County is no different.
Put simply, we check ventilation on every Noe Valley work, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated service life. Photographs with dates are part of every Noe Valley inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. It is the same story on most Noe Valley streets. We photograph every elevation on a Noe Valley job so the itemised estimate can be read against what is actually up there. That is as true in Noe Valley as anywhere in San Francisco County.
