It is the same story on most Los Alamitos streets. Emergency tarping on a Los Alamitos roof covering is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. On most jobs, we do not advise filing a Los Alamitos claim where the harm is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record.
Roof age across Los Alamitos clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. Converted garages in Los Alamitos are a common source of leaks given that the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. We see it on Los Alamitos roofs every week. Original decking on older Los Alamitos homes is more often than not skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. That is as true in Los Alamitos as anywhere in Orange County.
