Infrared scanning on a Studio City commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. We photograph every elevation on a Studio City job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. A done right Studio City inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long ahead of the covering does. We see it on Studio City roofs every week.

4Storm Damage Claims in Studio City

As a rule, a Studio City adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Supplements are normal on Studio City claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later.

As a rule, matching provisions in a policy matter on Studio City tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued.
