This holds across Los Angeles County. In practice, older West Los Angeles buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one. Original decking on older West Los Angeles homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. On most jobs, solar arrays on West Los Angeles roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
Put simply, policies covering West Los Angeles properties generally pay for sudden deterioration and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. That is as true in West Los Angeles as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Photographs taken ahead of any tarping on a West Los Angeles property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. On most jobs, insurance the project in West Los Angeles turns on documentation. Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. It is the same story on most West Los Angeles streets.
