Original decking on older North Hills homes is commonly skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Realistically, additions and conversions are common in North Hills, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin. Most roofs in North Hills fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. In practice, streets in North Hills that were built out together tend to need roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block.
Partial claims on a North Hills roof covering are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. In practice, we do not advise filing a North Hills claim where the damage is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. Put simply, deductibles on North Hills policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case.
