Above the obvious
A roof is a layered system, not one damaged shingle.
Coverings, edges, penetrations, flashing, ventilation, gutters, and the rooms below can all tell part of the same loss. The claim should make those connections visible.
Roof losses may involve shingles or membranes as well as flashing, vents, gutters, fascia, siding, and interior water damage.
American Adjusters reviews the property and available claim information to help create a more complete picture of the reported loss.
01
Recognize the situation
The leak or missing shingle may be only the first visible sign.
Roof damage can involve coverings, flashing, vents, edge metals, gutters, and the rooms below. Looking only at the obvious spot may leave connected conditions outside the claim picture.
Water staining appeared on ceilings or walls after the reported event.
The carrier estimate addresses a small repair but not connected roof components.
Contractors disagree about whether repair or broader replacement is practical.
02
What matters in this claim
A roof claim should reflect more than the most obvious damage.
01
Surface damage
Shingles, membranes, coatings, and roof coverings.
02
Roof accessories
Flashing, vents, caps, skylights, and penetrations.
03
Exterior connections
Gutters, fascia, siding, and nearby components.
04
Interior indicators
Visible staining or water entry associated with the event.
03
The American Adjusters approach
Review the roof as a system and connect it to the rest of the property.
American Adjusters inspects accessible roof surfaces and related exterior and interior indicators, then organizes the observations with measurements, photos, estimates, and the existing carrier scope.
