We see it on San Diego roofs every week. A San Diego roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. That is as true in San Diego as anywhere in San Diego County.
Realistically, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older San Diego roof covering, and the policy wording decides which applies. As a rule, partial claims on a San Diego roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. In practice, insurance work in San Diego turns on documentation. Damage recorded ahead of anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. This holds across San Diego County.
