The majority of Winter Gardens claims that fail do so since the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. Realistically, policies covering Winter Gardens properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Payment schedules on Winter Gardens work should track progress, never run ahead of it. It is the same story on most Winter Gardens streets. Two warranties apply on Winter Gardens work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Manufacturer certification counts on Winter Gardens jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. This holds across San Diego County.
