What's a Roof Insurance Scope, and Why Does It Matter in Greensboro?
After a hail or wind storm in Greensboro, most homeowners hear this phrase from their adjuster: "We’ll send over your scope of loss." But what exactly is a roof insurance scope, and why should you care?
Understanding the Scope of Loss
A roof insurance scope—also called a scope of work or adjuster's report—is the detailed estimate your insurance company creates after inspecting your storm damage. It lists line-by-line what they’re willing to cover for your roofing, gutters, flashing, and more.
What’s Included (And Often Missing)
Scopes typically include the following:
- Number of roofing squares approved
- Replacement materials and specifications
- Removal, installation, underlayment, drip edge, vents, and cleanup
- RCV (replacement cost value) and depreciation amounts
However, many scopes leave off key items like ridge vents, starter strip, flashing, and code-required upgrades. If those aren’t listed—you’re not getting paid for them.
