Policies covering Shadow Hills properties generally pay for sudden harm and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. On most jobs, partial claims on a Shadow Hills roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. We see it on Shadow Hills roofs every week. On most jobs, we the job alongside the adjuster on Shadow Hills claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter.
Realistically, infrared scanning on a Shadow Hills commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Realistically, a Shadow Hills roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. This holds across Los Angeles County. In practice, photographs with dates are part of every Shadow Hills inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
