A West Covina adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. On most jobs, policies covering West Covina properties generally pay for sudden deterioration and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Photographs taken ahead of any tarping on a West Covina property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim.
On most jobs, a contractor who explains why a West Covina roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it. Written scope, documented price and a written warranty are the minimum on any West Covina project. Check that the West Covina crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it.
