As a rule, photographs with dates are part of every Covina inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. This holds across Los Angeles County.
Realistically, concrete tile suits Covina buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Los Angeles County is no different. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Covina roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life. Realistically, coatings suit Covina buildings with a in good order deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.
