Ridge and Starter

Share This Post

😲 An adjuster may claim that rigid and starter materials are not covered separately because they’re already included in the 10% waste factor.  However, we do not have to accept the “normal percentages”.

🔢Do the math and compare the percentage of field waste with what’s considered normal in our industry. Point to external authorities like local codes, manufacturer specifications, or OSHA regulations to make your case. 

⛔Remember, most adjuster objections are mere opinions or internal policies, not actual facts stated in the homeowner’s policy.

Why Get Certified In Xactimate

Join Alena Wilson from Estimate Mastery LIVE Tuesday June 3rd at 4:30 CST/ 5:30 EST as she will be talking all about why you should get Certified in Xactimate. One of our FAQ’s here at Estimate Mastery is…do I need to be Certified to use Xactimate?
The answer is NO, for day to day estimating and getting around in the software, you don’t need any sort of certification to be able to write estimates in the software.
BUT, getting Certified is useful as leverage to getting line items paid.
We’ve had many, many contractors report back that when they added their Certification credentials to their email signature and few other key places like their company header, they were able to use the fact that they had been Certified to move their estimate “up the food chain” inside the insurance company and talk with someone who holds the same level of Cert. This is a Live you don’t want to miss!
