Wind and storm damage on a Outer Mission roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Outer Mission claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. On most jobs, partial claims on a Outer Mission roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements.
