Roofing Supplement Company Serving Ohio Contractors

Ohio is one of the highest-volume roofing supplement markets in the Midwest — a state where spring hail events strike densely populated metro areas, Lake Erie drives ice dam formation across the northern counties, and severe thunderstorm systems produce tornado-adjacent wind damage across the central corridor. Kyle Hamrick is a licensed insurance adjuster with 20+ years of experience who covers Ohio claims remotely — bringing the same depth of Xactimate analysis to Columbus and Cleveland contractors that CAT-dedicated teams bring to major disaster zones.

Ohio's Diverse Storm Damage Profile

Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, Parma, and Canton are Ohio's major population centers — and all face distinct damage profiles. Cleveland and the Lake Erie shoreline face lake-effect snow systems that produce ice dam conditions on a scale comparable to Buffalo. Columbus and central Ohio sit in a severe weather corridor where April and May produce multiple major hail and straight-line wind events per year. Cincinnati's position at the Ohio River puts it in the path of Gulf-moisture-enhanced storm systems that produce large hail with high frequency. Dayton and the Miami Valley have a history of catastrophic tornado events — the 1974 Xenia tornado and 2019 Memorial Day outbreak are reminders of this region's vulnerability. Carriers across all these markets write initial scopes that undervalue the scope of replacement — particularly on ice dam and code upgrade items.

Ohio's Primary Insurance Carriers

State Farm, Farmers, American Family, Auto-Owners, Westfield (headquartered in Westfield Center, OH), and Erie Insurance are the dominant carriers. Westfield's Ohio headquarters gives them strong market penetration across the state — and their initial scope approach on hail and ice dam claims is well-known for requiring supplement pressure. Auto-Owners is also a significant presence throughout rural Ohio.

Xactimate Line Items Ohio Adjusters Most Often Miss

• RFG ICEDAM — Ice and water shield; northern Ohio's lake-effect snow exposure makes ice barrier a code requirement that Westfield and State Farm both exclude on initial estimates.
• RFG FELT30 — Synthetic underlayment; Ohio's combined ice dam and spring hail exposure demands upgraded moisture barrier systems.
• RFG RIDGCP — Ridge cap replacement; Ohio hail events and straight-line wind events both damage ridge caps in ways adjusters consistently undercount.
• FLS PIPBT — Pipe boot replacement; hail impact and freeze-thaw cycling destroy pipe boots — excluded routinely by Ohio carriers on initial estimates.
• RFG DECKIN — Decking replacement for sections compromised by ice dam moisture or hail penetration.
• FLS VLYFLSH — Valley flashing; Ohio's spring rainfall and post-hail damage create valley system failures.
• CODE UPG — Code upgrade allowance; Ohio adopted the 2017 OBC with amendments — code upgrades on older homes are a supplement category Westfield routinely disputes until documentation is provided.
• O&P — Overhead & profit on all multi-trade Ohio storm losses coordinated by a GC.
• PERMITS — Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and all Ohio municipalities require roofing permits; always supplement permit costs.
