We check the deck from inside the attic on every Visitacion Valley job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. On most jobs, photographs with dates are part of every Visitacion Valley inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
In practice, a permitted Visitacion Valley re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. This holds across San Francisco County. The permit record for a Visitacion Valley property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof covering was done properly. As a rule, historic districts near Visitacion Valley may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. It is the same story on most Visitacion Valley streets.
