The answer to “how much will my insurance pay” depends on three things: your specific policy (replacement-cost vs actual-cash-value), the damage scope your adjuster writes, and how aggressively the scope is supplemented. We control the third lever — which is why our typical hail-claim outcome is full replacement at deductible-only cost to the homeowner.

Why initial adjuster scopes are typically low

Adjusters work under time pressure and write what they can see in 20 minutes on the roof. We meet them on the roof and walk through every strike — which routinely doubles the approved scope.
  • 01Initial scope without roofer present: typical $4,000–$7,000
  • 02Initial scope with us on the roof: typical $10,000–$22,000
  • 03Supplemented scope (when adjuster misses items): often +$2,000–$5,000 more
