Put simply, emergency tarping on a Sherman Oaks roof covering is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. As a rule, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Sherman Oaks roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. In practice, matching provisions in a policy matter on Sherman Oaks tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. That is as true in Sherman Oaks as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
