Beware the West Covina quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition.
9What a West Covina Inspection Covers
We check the deck from inside the attic on every West Covina project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Los Angeles County is no different. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any West Covina inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. Photographs with dates are part of every West Covina inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. We photograph every elevation on a West Covina work so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Put simply, a done right West Covina inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long in advance of the covering does. We see it on West Covina roofs every week. On most jobs, a West Covina inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
Insurance the job in West Covina turns on documentation. Damage recorded in advance of anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. Wind and storm deterioration on a West Covina roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Deductibles on West Covina policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case.
