Put simply, we do not advise filing a Western Addition claim where the damage is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. That is as true in Western Addition as anywhere in San Francisco County. Emergency tarping on a Western Addition roof covering is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. In practice, code upgrade cover decides whether a Western Addition claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Put simply, we the project alongside the adjuster on Western Addition claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter. This holds across San Francisco County.
Put simply, roof covering pitch across Western Addition varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Housing stock in Western Addition runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling in most cases tells you when the building went up. Realistically, solar arrays on Western Addition roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
