Roofing Supplement Writing for Roofing Contractors
Xactimate roofing supplement documentation for roofing contractors and licensed PAs: ventilation, drip edge, flashing, steep and high charges, code items.
Who it's for
Roofing contractors and licensed public adjusters who have a carrier estimate that leaves out items the roof actually needs.
What you get
- A supplement estimate comparing what's needed to what's in the carrier estimate
- Line notes tied to photos, code and manufacturer installation instructions
- Commonly missed items reviewed: ventilation, drip edge, starter, flashing, steep/high, detach & reset, code items
- A clean package your team or your PA submits
What to send
- The carrier estimate
- Roof photos labeled and organized by elevation (front, rear, left, right) plus each slope, including edges, penetrations, flashing and attic ventilation
- Roof measurement report (PDF) (required minimum)
- An ESX roof sketch is preferred. Using Roofr? Its downloadable ESX file works as your roof sketch.
- Any code or manufacturer documents you already have
How it's documented
Supplement items are only written when the photos and documentation support them. Each added line carries a note on why it belongs and where the support is, so the reviewer doesn't have to hunt for it. Log Cabin prepares the documentation for your company or your licensed PA to submit. Or choose Estimate + Scope Approval, where we work with the carrier to get the written scope approved for you (see pricing).
Turnaround
Guaranteed within 72 hours; most files are back in 48 hours.
Questions
What is Estimate + Scope Approval?
We write the estimate and work with the carrier to get the written scope of work approved, on behalf of you, our contractor or PA client. We don't interpret or argue coverage.
Which roof items get missed most?
It varies by file, but ventilation, drip edge, starter, flashing, steep and high charges and detach-and-reset items are reviewed on every roof.
