Deterioration recorded in advance of anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. It is the same story on most San Marcos streets. Supplements are normal on San Marcos claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Realistically, photographs taken before any tarping on a San Marcos property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older San Marcos roof covering, and the policy wording decides which applies.
Realistically, we photograph every elevation on a San Marcos work so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. This holds across San Diego County. A San Marcos roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. On most jobs, water readings matter on San Marcos low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it.
