We the job alongside the adjuster on Tarzana claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter. Worth knowing before you sign anything. In practice, deductibles on Tarzana policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. Los Angeles County is no different. Photographs taken in advance of any tarping on a Tarzana property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim.
A proper Tarzana inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. This holds across Los Angeles County. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Tarzana inspection, because that is where the majority of ceiling stains originate. As a rule, we photograph every elevation on a Tarzana job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there.
