Re-Inspection Supplement Writing
When a carrier denies your supplement and sends a field adjuster back to re-inspect, you have one shot to get it right. Most contractors show up with photos. A licensed adjuster shows up with a complete documentation package — line-item rebuttals, code citations, manufacturer specs, and a revised estimate — that the carrier adjuster must address on record. Kyle Hamrick prepares re-inspection packages that win.
What Makes a Re-Inspection Go Your Way
A re-inspection is a carrier-controlled process. The adjuster they send is evaluating whether to approve your supplement — and they are doing so against the documentation the carrier already has on file, which may be minimal. The contractors who win re-inspections are the ones who show up with better documentation than the carrier expects, structured to address every specific denial reason the carrier cited.
Our re-inspection packages are built around the denial letter. Every item the carrier denied is addressed with a written rebuttal, supporting photo with reference number, code citation or manufacturer specification, and revised Xactimate line item. The package is submitted to the carrier before the re-inspection date — so the field adjuster arrives having already reviewed the documentation, not seeing it for the first time on-site.
Kyle Hamrick's background as a licensed independent adjuster is critical here. He knows the internal review process carriers use to evaluate re-inspection outcomes. The documentation is structured to answer the questions a claim examiner will ask when the field adjuster submits their notes. This is not contractor-authored advocacy. It is adjuster-authored documentation that speaks the language carriers use internally.
Re-inspection supplements are tracked through to final carrier decision. If the initial re-inspection does not resolve all denied items, we prepare a second-tier documentation package for appraisal or additional escalation. We work inside AccuLynx for contractors using that CRM.
What We Document in Every Re-Inspection Package
Each previously denied line item is addressed with specific documentation. These are the items we most commonly fight back at re-inspection.

What is a re-inspection supplement and when do I need one?
A re-inspection supplement is a documentation package prepared specifically for a carrier re-inspection — an event where a carrier sends a field adjuster or desk reviewer back to the property to verify a supplement request. You need one when a carrier denies or challenges a supplement you submitted and requests a re-inspection before approving additional amounts. Without proper documentation prepared in advance, re-inspections frequently result in no change or further denials.
How do you prepare for a carrier re-inspection?
We build a complete re-inspection package that includes a line-by-line rebuttal of every denied item, photo documentation tied to each line item, code citations for all code-required upgrades, manufacturer installation specs supporting the scope, and a revised Xactimate estimate that the field adjuster can reference. This package is submitted to the carrier before the re-inspection date so the adjuster arrives with the documentation already on file.
What is the most common reason supplements get challenged at re-inspection?
Insufficient documentation. Carriers challenge supplements when the original submission did not tie each line item to a specific photo, code reference, or manufacturer specification. A re-inspection is an opportunity to correct that — with a licensed adjuster-authored documentation package that closes every gap the carrier used to justify the denial.
Can a licensed adjuster attend the re-inspection?
In many jurisdictions, a licensed public adjuster or independent adjuster can represent the insured or contractor at a re-inspection. Kyle Hamrick can review the specific circumstances of your claim and advise on whether representation at the re-inspection is appropriate and available for your state.
What is your success rate on re-inspection supplements?
The majority of re-inspection supplements we prepare result in partial or full approval of the originally denied items. Success depends on the strength of the original damage, the documentation we provide, and the specific carrier. Claims where damage is legitimate and documentation is complete have the highest approval rates — which is why we invest in the documentation package before every re-inspection.
