Local experience matters in San Gabriel since the failure modes here are heat, gusting and drainage rather than snow and ice.

As a rule, financing makes sense on a San Gabriel roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Supplements are normal on San Gabriel claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. This holds across Los Angeles County. As a rule, wind and storm damage on a San Gabriel roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Los Angeles County is no different. As a rule, emergency tarping on a San Gabriel roof covering is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. That is as true in San Gabriel as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
