Insurance adjusters are not your advocates. That's not an accusation — it's a structural reality. They work for the insurance company. Their job is to assess covered losses accurately and document what's owed under your policy. They're typically well-trained and working within a process that prioritizes speed and formula over comprehensive documentation.
The result: legitimate line items are routinely left out of insurance scopes of loss. Not through fraud — through formula, speed, and the assumption that homeowners won't know the difference.
The average underpaid residential roof claim leaves $2,000 to $8,000 in legitimate, documentable items on the table. A technical scope review finds them.
Most adjusters use estimating software (Xactimate is the industry standard) that generates a scope based on inputs from the field inspection. The adjuster documents observable damage, applies depreciation schedules, and produces a scope of loss that becomes the basis for your payment.
The software is accurate for what it includes. The problem is what it doesn't include — items that require specific knowledge of your roof system, your local code requirements, or proper restoration methodology that the adjuster may not have documented.
A technical scope review doesn't dispute the adjuster's findings — it adds what was missed. These are supplemental items that are legitimately covered under most policies and documentable against your specific roof conditions.
You have the right to submit a supplemental claim. An insurance scope is not final until you accept it as final. If a technical review identifies legitimate, documentable items that were omitted, you can submit a supplement with supporting documentation.
A well-prepared supplemental submission includes: the specific line items being claimed, the technical basis for inclusion, the applicable code requirements or manufacturer specifications, and Xactimate line item references where applicable. This is what a technical scope review produces.
Important: ClearRoofScope provides technical documentation — not public adjusting. We identify and document omissions. Negotiating the claim with your insurance company is your responsibility or that of a licensed public adjuster. Our documentation supports that process.
We take your insurance scope of loss and compare it against your specific roof conditions, applicable local code requirements, and proper restoration methodology for your roof system. We produce a written findings report that identifies missing items, provides the technical basis for their inclusion, and quantifies the documentation gap.
That document is yours to use — with your contractor, with your insurance carrier, or with a public adjuster if you choose to engage one.
Have your scope of loss document ready. Starting at $950. Delivered in 48–72 hours.
