Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a National City tile roof covering, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Put simply, denied National City claims are often reopened successfully when done right documentation is supplied the second time. As a rule, a National City adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Photographs taken in advance of any tarping on a National City property are the nearly all valuable evidence in the whole claim. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
