1The Whittier Maintenance Year
Checking the attic following the first heavy rain in Whittier finds leaks while they are still stains rather than harm. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Whittier property pays for itself the soonest time a claim is questioned. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Whittier building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. That is as true in Whittier as anywhere in Los Angeles County. A maintenance record on a Whittier roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. We see it on Whittier roofs every week. Trimming back branches over a Whittier roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. Flashings at the chimney on an older Whittier house usually call for attention well before the covering does.
Summer thermal load is the main ageing force on a Whittier roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Attic ventilation on a Whittier property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. Dust and grit settle on Whittier roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the soonest time it rains. It is the same story on most Whittier streets.
2Finding the Problem on a Whittier Roof
A correct Whittier inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. In practice, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Whittier tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Core samples settle the argument on a Whittier low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. Moisture readings matter on Whittier low-slope roof coverings. Coating over wet insulation seals the trouble in rather than solving it. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Whittier roof has been maintained.
Work in Whittier is inspected as well as permitted — the Whittier building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. Fire-zone properties around Whittier carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against. Codes change, and the Whittier building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Whittier quote should state the assembly being fitted.
3Whittier Permit Requirements
Put simply, inspection scheduling in Whittier adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. the Whittier building department handles the paperwork for roofing work in Whittier, and a licensed contractor pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the owner. Work in Whittier is inspected as well as permitted — the Whittier building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. Realistically, solar removal and reset on a Whittier project can call for its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. Structural work on a Whittier roof covering triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. Los Angeles County is no different.
Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Whittier building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves. Skylight seals on Whittier roof coverings want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Trimming back branches over a Whittier roof removes the debris that holds water against the covering and shortens its life. That is as true in Whittier as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
4Pricing a Whittier Roof Honestly
In practice, a Whittier quote that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. Phasing a large Whittier building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole job at once. Financing makes sense on a Whittier roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of working life left. Material choice changes a Whittier roof covering budget less than the majority of owners expect; labour and complexity dominate. Deck replacement on a Whittier work is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. Cheap Whittier quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives.
On most jobs, tile underlayment in Whittier dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Sealant is the first casualty in Whittier; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. As a rule, attic ventilation on a Whittier property is not optional — trapped thermal load cooks the covering from underneath.
5Hiring Well in Whittier
Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Whittier contract, not assumed. On most jobs, manufacturer certification matters on Whittier jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. We see it on Whittier roofs every week. Realistically, beware the Whittier estimate that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. Written scope, written price and a itemised warranty are the minimum on any Whittier job. Local experience is what decides it in Whittier because the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice.
Permit requirements in Whittier run through the Whittier building department. Minor repairs usually do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. Full replacements in Whittier generally require a permit through the Whittier building department, with an inspection once the the project is finished. Codes change, and the Whittier building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Whittier quote should state the assembly being laid.
6What Sits on Most Whittier Roofs
As a rule, where Whittier buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. Put simply, older Whittier buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. Second-storey additions in Whittier create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant. Additions and conversions are common in Whittier, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin. Solar arrays on Whittier roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
In practice, emergency tarping on a Whittier roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. It is the same story on most Whittier streets. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Whittier claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. In practice, a Whittier adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough.
7Whittier Roofing and Your Policy
On most jobs, most Whittier claims that give out do so because the harm was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. In practice, denied Whittier claims are commonly reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. Los Angeles County is no different. Partial claims on a Whittier roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. Realistically, a Whittier adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. On most jobs, emergency tarping on a Whittier roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
As a rule, two visits a year keeps a Whittier roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. Put simply, clearing the Whittier gutters in late autumn prevents nearly all of the damage the soonest storm would otherwise cause. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Whittier building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. This holds across Los Angeles County.
8Roofing Materials That Suit Whittier
Coatings suit Whittier buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Whittier tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Concrete tile suits Whittier buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Metal has grown in Whittier for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Realistically, tile is widespread across Whittier, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches property owners out. We see it on Whittier roofs every week. Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Whittier even where code does not require them.
A Whittier property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Many Whittier properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it gives out. Put simply, multi-unit buildings in Whittier usually call for a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off patch. That is as true in Whittier as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
9What the Weather Does to a Whittier Roof
Roof surface temperatures in Whittier routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof covering feels it. Put simply, roofs in Whittier bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Low-slope sections in Whittier hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. This holds across Los Angeles County. In practice, tile underlayment in Whittier dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Put simply, a light-coloured covering in Whittier measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. Attic temperatures in Whittier drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests.
Damp readings matter on Whittier low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. That is as true in Whittier as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Put simply, we inspect ventilation on every Whittier job, since a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Whittier work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.

1The Whittier Maintenance Year
A maintenance record on a Whittier roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. This holds across Los Angeles County. Resealing penetrations on a Whittier roof covering every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Los Angeles County is no different. On most jobs, clearing the Whittier gutters in late autumn prevents most of the deterioration the earliest storm would otherwise cause. Worth knowing before you sign anything. In practice, trimming back branches over a Whittier roof removes the debris that holds damp against the covering and shortens its life. Annual inspection on a Whittier property typically adds two to three seasons to the back end of a roof's service life. Checking the attic after the first heavy wet weather in Whittier finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage.
A Whittier estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. A Whittier estimate that comes in far below the others is generally missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Whittier roof more than the headline figure does. It is the same story on most Whittier streets.
2Hiring Well in Whittier
Beware the Whittier estimate that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. Manufacturer certification matters on Whittier jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. That is as true in Whittier as anywhere in Los Angeles County. The Whittier roofer who tells you a patch will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. Inspect that the Whittier crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. It is the same story on most Whittier streets. Realistically, a good Whittier roofer will talk you out of work you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is.
Codes change, and the Whittier building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Whittier quote should state the assembly being installed. As a rule, solar removal and reset on a Whittier job can call for its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. Reroofing over existing layers in Whittier is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection.
3Understanding Your Whittier Estimate
On most jobs, a Whittier estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Whittier roof covering more than the headline figure does. As a rule, repair makes sense on a Whittier roof with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. On most jobs, the variable line on any Whittier written price is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A Whittier quote that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Whittier roofs, since the sheathing more often than not fails before the shingle does. Realistically, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Whittier tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. In practice, we photograph every elevation on a Whittier job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there.
4Working to Code in Whittier
Commercial work in Whittier in most cases involves more review than residential and a longer lead time. Permit requirements in Whittier run through the Whittier building department. Minor repairs as a rule do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. Put simply, structural the project on a Whittier roof triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. Realistically, reroofing over existing layers in Whittier is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. The permit record for a Whittier property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. We see it on Whittier roofs every week. Realistically, fire-zone properties around Whittier carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against.
Multi-unit buildings in Whittier usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. In practice, where Whittier buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. It is the same story on most Whittier streets. Additions and conversions are common in Whittier, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin.
5The Conditions a Whittier Roof Works Against
Realistically, debris in Whittier valleys holds what little water arrives against the covering, which is where rot as a rule starts. Attic temperatures in Whittier drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation is what decides it more here than the brochure suggests. This holds across Los Angeles County. On most jobs, dust and grit settle on Whittier roof coverings through the dry months and wash into the drainage the soonest time it rains. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Whittier roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. A light-coloured covering in Whittier measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. Whittier gets its wet weather in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.
Reclaimed tile can be matched on Whittier heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Tile is widespread across Whittier, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. This holds across Los Angeles County. In practice, concrete tile suits Whittier buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question earliest. Los Angeles County is no different.
6Roof Age Across Whittier
Housing stock in Whittier runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling as a rule tells you when the building went up. Put simply, original decking on older Whittier homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Second-storey additions in Whittier create a junction between old and new roof that needs done right flashing rather than sealant. Los Angeles County is no different. Realistically, a Whittier property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Solar arrays on Whittier roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
Policies covering Whittier properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Most Whittier claims that let go do so because the harm was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. We the project alongside the adjuster on Whittier claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter. We see it on Whittier roofs every week.
7Storm Damage Claims in Whittier
We do not advise filing a Whittier claim where the damage is clearly age, given that a declined claim stays on the record. Photographs taken before any tarping on a Whittier property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Deductibles on Whittier policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Wind and storm damage on a Whittier roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Whittier roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. Emergency tarping on a Whittier roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. This holds across Los Angeles County.
Two warranties apply on Whittier work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Beware the Whittier written price that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. Put simply, local experience matters in Whittier given that the failure modes here are high temperatures, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice.
8Roofing Materials That Suit Whittier
As a rule, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Whittier where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Put simply, mixing materials across a Whittier roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. In practice, composition shingle is the most common covering in Whittier and the cheapest to renew, but it is also the first to show UV damage. Metal has grown in Whittier for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Flat and low-slope sections in Whittier require a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.
Structural work on a Whittier roof triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. That is as true in Whittier as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Realistically, permit fees in Whittier are a small part of the project and a large part of what protects the owner at resale. Solar removal and reset on a Whittier job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. Los Angeles County is no different.
9Finding the Problem on a Whittier Roof
We check the deck from inside the attic on every Whittier work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. It is the same story on most Whittier streets. Water readings matter on Whittier low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. Flashing at the wall junction is checked soonest on any Whittier inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. Realistically, photographs with dates are part of every Whittier inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. A Whittier roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath.
Permit fees in Whittier are a small part of the job and a large part of what protects the owner at resale. The job in Whittier is inspected as well as permitted — the Whittier building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. The permit record for a Whittier property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly.

1What the Weather Does to a Whittier Roof
Attic temperatures in Whittier drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Dust and grit settle on Whittier roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the soonest time it rains. Realistically, dry offshore winds reach Whittier through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. Roofs in Whittier bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Whittier roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day following day, for months. We see it on Whittier roofs every week.
Supplements are normal on Whittier claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later.

Realistically, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Whittier roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. This holds across Los Angeles County.
2What Roofing Costs in Whittier
The variable line on any Whittier quote is deck make good, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Los Angeles County is no different. In practice, square footage is only half the cost of a Whittier roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. It is the same story on most Whittier streets. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Whittier roof more than the headline figure does. This holds across Los Angeles County. A Whittier estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. We see it on Whittier roofs every week. A Whittier quote that comes in far below the others is generally missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
Reroofing over existing layers in Whittier is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. It is the same story on most Whittier streets.

3Vetting a Contractor in Whittier
Inspect the CSLB licence number before any Whittier roofer starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Los Angeles County is no different. Manufacturer certification is what decides it on Whittier jobs given that it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Los Angeles County is no different. Realistically, check that the Whittier crew doing the the job is employed by the company quoting it. That is as true in Whittier as anywhere in Los Angeles County. The Whittier contractor who tells you a make good will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back.

Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Whittier where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Whittier low-slope roofs, and the choice as a rule comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. On most jobs, mixing materials across a Whittier roof is fine provided each section gets the system it requires and the transitions are flashed properly.
4Which System Fits a Whittier Property
Concrete tile suits Whittier buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Realistically, reclaimed tile can be matched on Whittier heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. We see it on Whittier roofs every week. Realistically, composition shingle is the the majority of common covering in Whittier and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV deterioration. Standing seam on a Whittier property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. This holds across Los Angeles County. Realistically, metal has grown in Whittier for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Silicone coatings hold up well on Whittier roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.
On most jobs, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Whittier job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Realistically, we photograph every elevation on a Whittier job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Moisture readings matter on Whittier low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it.
5Whittier Permit Requirements
Put simply, reroofing over existing layers in Whittier is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. In practice, full replacements in Whittier generally require a permit through the Whittier building department, with an inspection once the work is finished. It is the same story on most Whittier streets. Inspection scheduling in Whittier adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. We see it on Whittier roofs every week. Work in Whittier is inspected as well as permitted — the Whittier building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. Unpermitted roofing in Whittier surfaces at resale. the Whittier building department keeps the record, and a buyer's inspector knows to look for it.
Low-priced Whittier quotes generally skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. Phasing a large Whittier building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole project at once. A Whittier roof covering quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information.
6What a Whittier Inspection Covers
Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Whittier shingle roof covering, and it shows up seasons before a ceiling stain does. A Whittier inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. As a rule, we photograph every elevation on a Whittier project so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. In practice, photographs with dates are part of every Whittier inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. On most jobs, core samples settle the argument on a Whittier low-slope roof when damp is suspected but not visible. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Whittier roof has been maintained.
Budgeting a Whittier replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. Put simply, phasing a large Whittier building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole job at once. As a rule, financing makes sense on a Whittier roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. It is the same story on most Whittier streets.
7Working With Your Adjuster in Whittier
In practice, we do not advise filing a Whittier claim where the harm is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Whittier roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. Partial claims on a Whittier roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Whittier claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Insurance work in Whittier turns on documentation. Deterioration recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. In practice, matching provisions in a policy matter on Whittier tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. Los Angeles County is no different.
A good Whittier roofer will talk you out of work you do not call for, which is the clearest signal there is. It is the same story on most Whittier streets. A Whittier contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same project as the one who will. Check the CSLB licence number before any Whittier roofing company starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. This holds across Los Angeles County.
8Housing Stock and Roof Types in Whittier
Multi-unit buildings in Whittier usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. The majority of roofs in Whittier fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Streets in Whittier that were built out together tend to call for roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. We see it on Whittier roofs every week. A Whittier property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. It is the same story on most Whittier streets. Garage and patio roofs in Whittier are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. As a rule, housing stock in Whittier runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling generally tells you when the building went up.
Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Whittier roofs, since the sheathing commonly gives out in advance of the shingle does. Worth knowing before you sign anything. On most jobs, infrared scanning on a Whittier commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Drone access on steep or fragile Whittier roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
9Keeping a Whittier Roof in Service
Moss on a shaded Whittier slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Los Angeles County is no different. Checking the attic after the earliest heavy wet weather in Whittier finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. This holds across Los Angeles County. Most Whittier roofs that let go early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Trimming back branches over a Whittier roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. As a rule, clearing the Whittier gutters in late autumn prevents nearly all of the deterioration the first storm would otherwise cause. It is the same story on most Whittier streets.
On most jobs, insurance work in Whittier turns on documentation. Damage recorded ahead of anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. On most jobs, deductibles on Whittier policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. On most jobs, denied Whittier claims are often reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time.
