1Reading a Hayes Valley Roof by Its Era

Converted garages in Hayes Valley are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion. Housing stock in Hayes Valley runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up.

9Working With Your Adjuster in Hayes Valley

Photographs taken in advance of any tarping on a Hayes Valley property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. San Francisco County is no different. Wind and storm harm on a Hayes Valley roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere.

Policies covering Hayes Valley properties generally pay for sudden harm and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Hayes Valley roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. San Francisco County is no different.
