We work alongside the adjuster on Santa Paula claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter. In practice, we do not advise filing a Santa Paula claim where the damage is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record. On most jobs, matching provisions in a policy matter on Santa Paula tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. We see it on Santa Paula roofs every week.
