In practice, standing seam on a Simi Valley property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. We see it on Simi Valley roofs every week. Metal has grown in Simi Valley for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. That is as true in Simi Valley as anywhere in Ventura County.
On most jobs, we do not advise filing a Simi Valley claim where the damage is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. In practice, most Simi Valley claims that fail do so because the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. Put simply, policies covering Simi Valley properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly.
