Put simply, photographs taken ahead of any tarping on a San Fernando property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Partial claims on a San Fernando roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. Policies covering San Fernando properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly.
