The Sepulveda roofing company who tells you a repair will do, when a patch will do, is the one worth calling back. It is the same story on most Sepulveda streets. In practice, a contractor who explains why a Sepulveda roof covering failed is more use than one who only quotes to swap out it.

3Sepulveda Roofing and Your Policy
Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Sepulveda roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. That is as true in Sepulveda as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Wind and storm damage on a Sepulveda roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere.
