HOW TO READ YOUR CLAIM
- Physical Size of your roof: This will usually be the first row of your insurance claim and will read something like “Remove XYZ Shingle…” The quantity listed in this row is the physical size of your roof in squares (1 square = 100 square feet). Oftentimes this same number will also be listed in a summary of dimensions at the top of the roofing section of your claim. This is the number you will enter at the top of our Roof Quote Page.
*In our examples this number is identified in red and is the only number needed off of your claim. -
Shingle Type: Most people were happy with the roof they had and don’t care about upgrades or other shingle types. If this describes you, then you will find your shingle type listed on the “Remove” column of the roofing section of your insurance claim. If you are interested in upgrading your shingles, see our Shingle Selection Guide.
*In our examples this information is identified in blue. -
Hip Roof Design: Not every claim will identify if a roof is a hip or gable, but most claims will identify the linear footage of hip shingles needed in the quantities summary at the top of the roofing section of your claim.
*In our examples this information is identified in blue.
*For more information about a hip roof design see our Help and Resources Page. -
Steep Roof Pitch: If you have a steep roof there will be one or two lines in the roofing section providing allowance for this cost. Again we don’t need to know how steep it is, just if it is steep or not.
*In our examples this information is identified in red.
