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.
