Types of Loss/Residential/Storm & Wind

Storm Damage Is Complicated. The Estimate Shouldn't Be.

Lifted shingles, creased tabs, siding off the back, and the water that came in behind them. Atlas writes the roof, the envelope, and the interior, top down and trade by trade.

The Process

Storm files turn on two questions: whether the whole slope has to go, and whether the interior stain is tied to the roof. Atlas documents the damage at every slope, opening, and wall, works from the roofer's findings where a roofer has been up, connects the interior damage to its entry point, and writes roof, siding, gutters, and interior as one Xactimate® scope from a measured sketch.

Where Scopes Come In Short

Matching Across the Slope

A dozen new shingles on a weathered roof do not match. The slope, and often the whole roof, is the repair unit. Siding carries the same question: a discontinued profile sets the boundary at the corner, not at the last damaged panel.

What Lives Under the Shingles

Drip edge, ice barrier, underlayment, starter, and ridge vent are replaced with the roof, and each is its own line. Leave them off and the roof is priced as shingles only.

Height and Slope

Pitch over 7/12 and second-story eaves add labor to every roofing line, and the add-ons are easy to miss. Same for the dumpster: a roofing tear-off fills a roll-off fast, and planking under it is a line, not a favor.

The Inside of the Loss

Water that came in at a lifted shingle or an open soffit shows up as a bedroom ceiling. That ceiling is scoped to the roof, not as a separate leak, and the insulation above it comes out with the drywall.

Code Note

A reroof goes through permit, and permit brings the roof to current requirements: ice barrier at the eaves, current fastening and underlayment. Anything over what was there before is written as a code upgrade on its own line.

What Comes Back

Roof, siding, gutters, and interior written as one estimate, top down and trade by trade: each slope and opening documented, the underlayment and edge components on their own lines, the height and slope charges carried, and the interior damage tied to its entry point in the photo report.
