Roofing contractor documenting hail damage on an asphalt shingle roof for an Atlanta insurance claim

Claim documentation is most of the work. We fly drone photo packages over every slope and log granule loss and bruised shingle fields where hail damage shows up weeks after the storm has moved on.

That file becomes Xactimate scope documentation your adjuster can price line by line. When an estimate leaves out decking that has started to wick moisture, we file a supplement with photos, measurements, and moisture readings attached.

ITEL shingle sampling matters when your shingle is discontinued and a color match is not possible. A lab report supports replacement cost instead of a patch, which is how an undervalued claim usually gets corrected.

A tarp goes up before the adjuster arrives if water is still coming in, and that mitigation gets written into the claim file. Your deductible still applies, and depreciation is normally released once the work is complete.

Older Craftsman bungalows and mid-century ranch homes around Atlanta often carry a second layer of three-tab shingle. Newer townhomes sit under architectural shingle with tight valleys, and that changes the scope of work.

What's Included

A full roof inspection with drone photo packages of every slope, valley, and penetration, labeled so your adjuster can tie damage to the storm date.
Xactimate scope documentation written line by line, covering tear-off, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, ridge cap, and the labor to install each one.
ITEL shingle sampling and lab submission when the asphalt shingle on your roof is discontinued and a color match is not available.
A tarp or other emergency mitigation set the same day when water is still seeping in, photographed and logged as part of the claim file.
A rooftop meeting with your adjuster, where we walk the same slopes together and point out hail damage a driveway inspection would miss.
A supplement filed with measurements, moisture readings, and photos when the approved estimate leaves out decking, sheathing, or hidden rot, plus gutter, downspout, and fascia damage added to the same claim.
Proof of loss paperwork and depreciation recovery handled after completion, so the final invoice matches the approved scope of work.
Eave and rake edges, soffit and fascia, verge and apron flashing, chimney and skylight curbs, dormer walls, and any parapet or scupper on a commercial roof, all photographed and priced.

Our Insurance Claim Assistance Process

Our Insurance Claim Assistance Process, Step by Step

We start with a roof inspection: ladder or scaffold access, a safety harness on steep pitch, moisture content readings in the attic, and drone photo packages of every slope before a pry bar touches anything.
Tear-off and cleanup come next when repair is off the table. We strip shingle into a dumpster staged on the driveway, using a roofing shovel and pry bar, and check the field course as it comes up.
We probe the substrate after tear-off, checking plywood or OSB sheathing, joist and truss ends, and any purlin or batten run for soft spots before new synthetic underlayment goes down.
We check the storm date against your policy coverage and tell you honestly whether filing is worth your deductible.
We build the claim documentation package: drone photos, an Xactimate scope of work, and ITEL sampling when the shingle has been discontinued.
We meet your adjuster on the roof and talk through hail damage, wind uplift, and every detail they want to see in person.
We file a supplement when the approved estimate skips decking, sheathing, a bent ridge beam, or a damaged rafter tail, and we follow it until the numbers land.
Attic-side and close-out items get listed separately: added insulation, a vapor barrier, ridge vent or soffit vent work, and every screw and anchor holding a rooftop unit down.

Signs You Need Insurance Claim Assistance

Warning Signs You Need Insurance Claim Assistance

Granule loss collects in your gutters and at the bottom of a downspout months after a spring hailstorm, which means the asphalt shingle has lost its protective surface.
Bruised or dented shingle fields show on the south- and west-facing slopes first, where Atlanta summer UV exposure bakes the mat.
Soft spots in the sheathing or a sag along the roofline tell you water has wicked into the roof deck and started rot.
Ceiling stains spread after a storm even though nothing leaked before, a sign flashing or a pipe boot finally gave out.
A missing or lifted ridge cap and torn step flashing around the chimney, which is where high humidity and wind damage usually start.
Loose gutter sections pulling away from the fascia after wind, and a canopy, awning, or overhang that has started to sag at its anchor points.
An ice dam or ponding water sitting at a low-slope valley, which erodes the underlayment underneath.
A denial letter or a low estimate that only covers patching, when anyone standing on the rooftop finds damage on more than one slope.

Insurance Claim Assistance — Frequently Asked Questions

Does insurance claim assistance cost anything up front?

Insurance claim assistance starts with a free roof inspection and a written estimate, and the documentation work itself is not invoiced. You pay your deductible when the roof goes on, nothing before that.

How long does a storm damage claim take?

Insurance claim assistance usually moves in weeks, not days. The adjuster visit is the first checkpoint, then any supplement and the depreciation release add time. We schedule installation once the scope of work is approved.

Will the carrier replace the whole roof if only one slope is damaged?

Insurance claim assistance leans on proving systemic damage. ITEL shingle sampling matters when the shingle is discontinued, and drone photos of hip and gable sections show a carrier why matching one slope is not realistic.

What about flat or low-slope sections?

Insurance claim assistance covers low-slope work too. We document membrane, TPO, EPDM, and PVC membrane condition, then check a modified bitumen or built-up roof for ponding water, blisters, and split seams.

My roof is tile, slate, or cedar shake. Does that change the claim?

Insurance claim assistance on tile, clay tile, concrete tile, slate, wood shake, or cedar shake is priced by the piece, so broken units and cracked shake get counted one at a time. We also note the underlayment condition underneath them.

Do code upgrades and ventilation end up in the claim?

Insurance claim assistance includes building code items when your policy coverage allows them: ridge vent and soffit vent upgrades, an attic fan replacement, and ice-and-water shield at the eaves where code calls for it.

Don't just take our word for it — hear from our satisfied customers.

"The first estimate our adjuster wrote covered about half the roof. Atlanta Roof Master shot drone photos of the hail bruising on the back slope and filed a supplement with the measurements attached. The claim came back approved for a full replacement. — Marcus T., Decatur"

"An ice dam sent water through our ceiling in January. They tarped the valley that night, documented the mitigation, and walked the adjuster through the underlayment damage. The depreciation release went through without a fight. — Priya R., Roswell"

"Third roofer to look at our roof after the spring hailstorm, and the only one who actually got on the rooftop. The claim documentation was organized enough that the adjuster didn't argue about the ridge cap or the chimney flashing. — Dana W., Smyrna"
