Ask any Mission Viejo roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. As a rule, a Mission Viejo contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same project as the one who will.
Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Mission Viejo roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A Mission Viejo adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. This holds across Orange County. In practice, policies covering Mission Viejo properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly.
