Realistically, patch makes sense on a San Marcos roof covering with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. San Diego County is no different.
Put simply, photographs with dates are part of every San Marcos inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Put simply, a San Marcos inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. It is the same story on most San Marcos streets. Drone access on steep or fragile San Marcos roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
