On most jobs, we do not advise filing a Valley Center claim where the damage is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record. Wind and storm damage on a Valley Center roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Deductibles on Valley Center policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case.
A Valley Center roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Most Valley Center roofs that fail early let go at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Checking the attic following the first heavy rain in Valley Center finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage.
