8Storm Damage Claims in Temple City

This holds across Los Angeles County. Second-storey additions in Temple City create a junction between old and new roof that needs proper flashing rather than sealant. Where Temple City buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. We see it on Temple City roofs every week.
Partial claims on a Temple City roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. In practice, photographs taken before any tarping on a Temple City property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. This holds across Los Angeles County. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Temple City claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. That is as true in Temple City as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
