9Visitacion Valley Roofing and Your Policy
Supplements are normal on Visitacion Valley claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later.

Wind and storm harm on a Visitacion Valley roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Worth knowing before you sign anything.

That is as true in Visitacion Valley as anywhere in San Francisco County. A Visitacion Valley adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough.
