Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Temple City contract, not assumed. That is as true in Temple City as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Realistically, beware the Temple City quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. On most jobs, ask a Temple City contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. Put simply, the Temple City contractor who tells you a patch will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back.
Put simply, code upgrade cover decides whether a Temple City claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Realistically, a Temple City adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. In practice, policies covering Temple City properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly.
