What a roofing contractor can document
A contractor can record visible conditions, measurements, materials, repairability, and a proposed construction scope.
What remains between you and the insurer
The insurance carrier determines whether a condition is covered, what policy terms apply, and how a claim is settled.
Keep a clear record
Preserve photos, inspection reports, estimates, mitigation invoices, and communication. Ask questions when the construction scope and carrier estimate differ.
