Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Los Alamitos roof covering, and the policy wording decides which applies. As a rule, denied Los Alamitos claims are often reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. It is the same story on most Los Alamitos streets.
Deck replacement on a Los Alamitos job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. On most jobs, financing makes sense on a Los Alamitos roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. We see it on Los Alamitos roofs every week. A Los Alamitos roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information.
