Realistically, code upgrade cover decides whether a Valley Village claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Photographs taken before any tarping on a Valley Village property are the nearly all valuable evidence in the whole claim. On most jobs, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Valley Village roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. This holds across Los Angeles County.
