Roofing Insurance Supplement Services
Roofing supplement support for residential and commercial contractors using Xactimate or Symbility.
What does this service do?
An insurance supplement documents proposed changes to an existing estimate when the available evidence supports additional or revised work. The Roofer’s Desk reviews the scope, prepares estimating documentation and follows up on outstanding items within the agreed service.
What support can include
The engagement starts with an agreed scope. These are the capabilities to discuss with the team:
- Review the carrier’s initial estimate alongside the contractor’s available job documentation.
- Prepare contractor-branded supplement estimates in Xactimate or Symbility.
- Include relevant code language and manufacturer instructions when applicable to the project.
- Organize supporting material and track correspondence and unresolved items.
- Support the file through resolution and depreciation follow-up when included in the engagement.
What to prepare before the handoff
A useful first conversation starts with the information your team already has. The exact checklist depends on the assignment:
- The current carrier estimate and any revisions.
- Roof measurements, photographs and the contractor’s description of observed conditions.
- Relevant correspondence, inspection notes and documents already submitted.
- The project location, roof system and contractor contact responsible for questions.
How we work with your operation
First, align on scope, access and responsibilities. Next, share the available file and identify gaps. The team then performs the agreed estimating or administrative work, records activity and communicates the outstanding next steps. Your existing CRM or the customer portal can support that handoff.
Timing, pricing and reporting
Request a proposal based on your workload, file complexity and required services. Confirm turnaround expectations, communication responsibilities and what reporting you will receive before the work starts. The consultation establishes expectations for your specific workload.
Common questions
Does a supplement guarantee a higher claim amount?
No. Proposed items need supporting evidence and remain subject to the project facts and applicable coverage. A complete, organized file makes the request easier to evaluate; it does not predetermine the outcome.
Can you handle commercial supplements?
Yes. The Roofer’s Desk supports residential and commercial supplements. Discuss the roof system and complexity with Chris before assigning the file.
How is this different from an estimate?
An estimate describes proposed work and cost. A supplement documents proposed revisions or additions to an existing estimate. Some files need both estimating work and ongoing administration.
