Realistically, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Chatsworth where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk.
Photographs taken before any tarping on a Chatsworth property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Policies covering Chatsworth properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Los Angeles County is no different. Put simply, code upgrade cover decides whether a Chatsworth claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like.
