Put simply, photographs with dates are part of every Noe Valley inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Noe Valley shingle roof covering, and it shows up seasons before a ceiling stain does. It is the same story on most Noe Valley streets.
