Random walking leads to random results. A professional inspection follows a repeatable method: ✔ Start at a safe corner ✔ Move in a clockwise or grid pattern ✔ Complete one slope at a time ✔ Don’t skip sections Consistency creates credibility — especially when your file is reviewed later.

MONDAY – Photo Tip Monday Post Topic: Photo Documentation That Wins Claims This week’s reminder: Carriers don’t approve what they can’t see. Every component should have: ✔ Wide shot (location)✔ Medium shot (visibility)✔ Close-up (condition) If it’s in the estimate, it must be in the photos.

📌 Why Proper Estimating Matters (More Than People Realize) Accurate estimating isn’t just about numbers — it directly impacts the homeowner’s ability to restore their property correctly. When an estimate is missing key components, measurements, or documentation, it can lead to: ❌ Scope reductions❌ Delayed approvals❌ Out-of-pocket costs for the homeowner❌ Incomplete repairs❌ Ongoing leaks or system failures A roof is a system, not just shingles or membrane. That means every component matters: - Underlayment - Flashing - Drip edge - Starter course - Ventilation - Accessories and transitions If it’s part of the system, it must be inspected, measured, and documented. 📸 Photos are just as important as the estimate. Carriers don’t approve what they can’t see. Every claim file should include: ✔ Wide shots for context✔ Medium shots for component visibility✔ Close-ups for condition and detail Remember this principle: If it’s in the estimate, it must be visible in the photos. Proper estimating protects everyone: - The homeowner gets a complete repair - The contractor avoids disputes - The adjuster has a supportable file - The claim moves faster and smoother Strong inspections lead to strong estimates. Strong estimates lead to strong outcomes. Let’s keep raising the standard in this community.
