Supplements are normal on Solana Beach claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later.
Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Solana Beach roofs, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Solana Beach tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Infrared scanning on a Solana Beach commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. We see it on Solana Beach roofs every week.
