2What a West Hills Inspection Covers

On most jobs, photographs with dates are part of every West Hills inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. It is the same story on most West Hills streets.

Composition shingle is the nearly all common covering in West Hills and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV harm. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
