Realistically, photographs taken before any tarping on a San Clemente property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Insurance the job in San Clemente turns on documentation. Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older San Clemente roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. It is the same story on most San Clemente streets.
