Denied Valley Village claims are often reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. Realistically, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Valley Village roof covering, and the policy wording decides which applies. We see it on Valley Village roofs every week. Realistically, we do not advise filing a Valley Village claim where the deterioration is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record.
