9Reading a Simi Valley Roof by Its Era
Original decking on older Simi Valley homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. On most jobs, older Simi Valley buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. That is as true in Simi Valley as anywhere in Ventura County. Multi-unit buildings in Simi Valley in most cases call for a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. On most jobs, most roofs in Simi Valley fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. That is as true in Simi Valley as anywhere in Ventura County. Put simply, converted garages in Simi Valley are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion.
Policies covering Simi Valley properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Put simply, emergency tarping on a Simi Valley roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. On most jobs, we do not advise filing a Simi Valley claim where the damage is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record.
