Roofing Supplement Company Serving Massachusetts Contractors

Massachusetts roofing contractors face a challenging trifecta: some of the highest labor costs in the country, strict building codes with frequent updates, and a nor'easter season that delivers ice dam conditions to the majority of the state's housing stock every winter. Kyle Hamrick is a licensed insurance adjuster with 20+ years of field experience who works Massachusetts claims remotely — ensuring that Boston and Springfield contractors recover every legitimate line item the carrier's initial scope missed.

Nor'Easters, Ice Dams, and Massachusetts' Roofing Complexity

Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Lowell, Cambridge, New Bedford, Brockton, and Quincy are Massachusetts' major population centers — and all sit in the direct path of the nor'easter corridor. Massachusetts nor'easters are among the most intense on the East Coast, regularly delivering 2-3 feet of snow in 24-48 hours. The resulting ice dam formation on older New England housing stock — triple-deckers in Boston, Victorian-era colonials in Worcester, Cape Cods across the South Shore — produces interior water damage that compounds well after the storm passes. Massachusetts' high home values make every supplement worth pursuing aggressively. Carriers handling Massachusetts claims use Xactimate pricing that often lags behind actual local labor and material costs.

Massachusetts Insurance Carrier Landscape

Amica (Rhode Island-based but a New England market leader), Travelers, Liberty Mutual (headquartered in Boston), Chubb, MetLife, and The Hartford are the primary carriers. Liberty Mutual's Boston headquarters doesn't give them any advantage on supplement disputes — in fact, their initial scopes on Massachusetts claims are consistently below actual replacement cost. Norfolk & Dedham Group is a significant regional carrier worth knowing.

Xactimate Line Items Massachusetts Adjusters Consistently Exclude

• RFG ICEDAM — Ice and water shield; Massachusetts code requires ice barrier at all eave edges and within 24" of the interior wall line — this is the single most commonly missed item on MA nor'easter claims.
• RFG FELT30 — Synthetic underlayment; MA's extreme winter moisture exposure requires upgraded moisture barrier systems.
• RFG DECKIN — Decking replacement for sections compromised by ice dam water intrusion — often substantial on Boston-area triple- deckers where ice dams form on multiple roof planes simultaneously.
• INT PLAST — Interior plaster repair; older Massachusetts homes have plaster ceilings that require specialized repair after ice dam damage — a supplement category adjusters ignore.
• FLS CHIMFL — Chimney flashing; Massachusetts' high density of brick chimney construction means counter-flashing failures are extremely common and routinely underscoped.
• STR RIDGBD — Ridge board and rafter repair from structural snow load — older Massachusetts homes routinely show deflection.
• RFG DRIP — Drip edge replacement; freeze- thaw cycles crack and lift aluminum drip edge at high rates in Massachusetts winters.
• O&P — Overhead & profit; Massachusetts GCs coordinating multi-trade nor'easter losses carry full O&P entitlement — and Massachusetts labor rates make the dollar value significant.
• PERMITS — Boston, Worcester, Springfield, and every Massachusetts city and town require permits; permit costs in Massachusetts are among the highest in the country.
