Question 1

What is a roofing supplement company?

Accepted Answer

A roofing supplement company reviews insurance carrier estimates, identifies missing or underpaid line items, writes a supplemental Xactimate estimate, and submits it to the carrier for additional payment. The Estimate Company is run by licensed independent adjusters who know exactly what carriers look for.

Question 2

How does Xactimate supplementing work for roofing contractors?

Accepted Answer

Xactimate supplementing starts when a roofing contractor sends us the carrier's initial estimate. We review every line item against current price lists and manufacturer requirements, identify underpaid or missing items, write an updated Xactimate estimate with F9 notes and photo documentation, and submit it to the insurance carrier. We follow up 2-3 times per week until the supplement is approved.

Question 3

What states do you write roofing supplements in?

Accepted Answer

The Estimate Company holds active insurance adjuster licenses in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and Alabama. We write Xactimate supplements and insurance estimates for roofing contractors across all 50 states.

Question 4

How fast is your Xactimate turnaround?

Accepted Answer

We submit supplements to the desk adjuster within 24 hours of receiving the file — every time. Most other supplement companies take 5-7 business days. Our next-day turnaround is standard, not a premium.

Question 5

What is your fee for roofing supplement services?

Accepted Answer

We charge 15% of the supplemental recovery — the difference we recover beyond the carrier's initial payout. You pay nothing unless we recover more for you. For contractors sending 2+ claims per week, we guarantee a minimum of six figures in additional margins over 12 months, or we write you a $5,000 check.

Question 6

Why did you start The Estimate Company?

Accepted Answer

Seven years ago, we saw a shift coming to the industry where contractors were going to have the opportunity to capture more business through insurance repair relationships. We also saw a clear gap between what insurance companies were paying and what they should be paying. Legitimate items are left off estimates constantly — code upgrades, missing line items, manufacturer standards. We built a due-diligence process to comb through every estimate and include every line item that's warranted. Nothing more, nothing less.
