Xactimate Roof Estimate FAQs for Roofing Contractors

These are answers to the questions roofing companies ask most about Xactimate estimating for roofers and the supplement process.

How long does a roof estimate take?
Xactimate estimating for roofers at Claim Guard typically takes about 48 hours from a complete upload. If your office is wondering a roof estimate takes during storm season, the file is the deciding factor. Sending photos, measurements and the carrier estimate together gets the fastest turnaround.

A roofing estimate covers tear-off, shingles, underlayment, starter, ridge cap, drip edge, ice barrier, flashing, ventilation, waste, and steep or high-roof labor. For contractors asking what a roofing estimate includes on an insurance claim, carrier-ready Xactimate estimates also account for depreciation, permits, and overhead and profit where they apply.

Yes, when the job qualifies. Carriers usually allow O&P when a claim involves several trades or needs general contractor coordination. Our roofing supplements document each trade and the coordination involved to support the O&P request.
It depends on the policy language and the state. Some states have matching regulations, and courts have required insurers to pay for uniform appearance in certain cases. One example is the 2019 Windridge of Naperville decision on hail-damaged siding.

A roof insurance claim supplement is a request to add missed or underpaid items to an approved claim, supported by photos and measurements. Supplements written in the adjuster’s Xactimate line-item format are reviewed and approved faster.
