In practice, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Jamul tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.

On most jobs, core samples settle the argument on a Jamul low-slope roof covering when moisture is suspected but not visible. It is the same story on most Jamul streets. We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Jamul job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. We see it on Jamul roofs every week.

8What to Ask a Jamul Roofer
Payment schedules on Jamul work should track progress, never run ahead of it. Realistically, a Jamul roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. We see it on Jamul roofs every week.

Put simply, policies covering Jamul properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. We do not advise filing a Jamul claim where the damage is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record. Partial claims on a Jamul roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements.
