Where Mission Viejo buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Housing stock in Mission Viejo runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling in most cases tells you when the building went up.
Deductibles on Mission Viejo policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. Most Mission Viejo claims that let go do so given that the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. Supplements are normal on Mission Viejo claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later.
