Photographs with dates are part of every Reseda inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. A Reseda roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. It is the same story on most Reseda streets.
Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Reseda even where code does not require them. That is as true in Reseda as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Metal has grown in Reseda for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Los Angeles County is no different. In practice, reclaimed tile can be matched on Reseda heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
