On most jobs, vent screening matters in Sunland where ember intrusion is a real risk rather than a theoretical one.
Emergency tarping on a Sunland roof covering is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. We work alongside the adjuster on Sunland claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter. In practice, matching provisions in a policy matter on Sunland tile roof coverings where the original profile is discontinued.
