Welcome to Chapter 12: Roofing Components – Never Miss These Again, the first chapter in Part 3: The Master Supplement Opportunities. This is where we dive into the specific line items contractors miss on 70-90% of claims, leaving thousands of dollars on the table.
This episode arms you with the mental checklist and documentation strategies required to capture every legitimate roofing component opportunity. Stop guessing what the adjuster will approve and start documenting what codes and conditions demand.
In this deep dive, you will learn the secrets to maximizing profit on standard roofing elements:
• Drip Edge: The Code Goldmine: Discover why documenting the specific installation method—particularly if the existing drip edge is installed under the felt paper—is your key to securing replacement using the requirements mandated by IRC section 905.2.8.5.
• The Double Roll Rule: Master the code justification for Ice and Water Shield (IWS), including how to calculate and prove that the specific overhang measurement requires double roll coverage to extend 24 inches past the interior warm wall (IRC 905.2.7.1).
• Decking Strategy: Learn the critical distinction between "rot" and the "Unnailable Surface" technique. We show you how to document decking damage that fails to hold fasteners, justifying replacement while bypassing common policy exclusions for deterioration.
• Architectural Over Waste: Understand why architectural shingles require a separate ridge cap product, overriding the outdated assumption that it can be fashioned from shingle waste, ensuring you bill for necessary manufacturer-required materials.
• Flashing Documentation: Find out how to use photos taken during tear-off to prove corrosion, rust, or nail holes in valley metal and flashings, securing replacement based on IRC requirements for moisture prevention.
By adopting a comprehensive checklist for these high-value roofing components, you transform your inspection from a routine check into a precise data collection mission, ensuring every code-required item is documented, submitted, and approved.
