The temperature swing in Dana Point is narrow but the humidity is not, and sustained damp is harder on underlayment than heat alone.
As a rule, a Dana Point adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Matching provisions in a policy matter on Dana Point tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. Orange County is no different. On most jobs, we the job alongside the adjuster on Dana Point claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter. Orange County is no different.
