Reroofing over existing layers in Panorama City is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection.
As a rule, photographs with dates are part of every Panorama City inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. A Panorama City inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We see it on Panorama City roofs every week. Infrared scanning on a Panorama City commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.
