9Working With Your Adjuster in Lake San Marcos
Wind load and storm deterioration on a Lake San Marcos roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Lake San Marcos claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. As a rule, supplements are normal on Lake San Marcos claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Put simply, deductibles on Lake San Marcos policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. On most jobs, most Lake San Marcos claims that give out do so because the damage was cleaned up or patched ahead of anyone photographed it. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
In practice, deck replacement on a Lake San Marcos project is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. The variable line on any Lake San Marcos quote is deck make good, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Financing makes sense on a Lake San Marcos roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of service life left.
