Tile is widespread across Simi Valley, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches homeowners out.
Photographs with dates are part of every Simi Valley inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Simi Valley tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Drone access on steep or fragile Simi Valley roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
