Why Roofing Contractors Struggle With Insurance Claims (And How Training Fixes It)

Many roofing contractors are excellent at installing roofs—but struggle when it comes to insurance claims. The problem isn’t intelligence or effort; it’s a lack of formal training in how insurance companies operate.

Insurance estimating software, policy language, depreciation, and adjuster processes aren’t intuitive. Without understanding these systems, contractors often leave money on the table, miss line items, or lose jobs entirely.

Proper training bridges this gap. When contractors learn how to read policies, write accurate estimates, and communicate clearly with adjusters, claim approvals become smoother and more predictable.

The result? Faster approvals, fewer supplements, and higher profit margins—without cutting corners.
