Roofing Supplement Software: What It Should Do

Roofing supplement software is a tool that checks a claim scope against the actual roof and applicable code, then flags missing or underpriced line items automatically — instead of a person catching them manually, one claim at a time. The category barely exists yet. Most of the market today is still human specialists working claims by hand.

How is it different from outsourcing?

	Outsourced specialist	Supplement software
Who reviews the scope	A person, claim by claim	The system, applied consistently to every claim
Turnaround	Days, depending on their queue	Fast — limited by documentation, not a person’s schedule
Cost model	Per-claim, percentage, or retainer	Not yet established for this category
Scales with volume	Bounded by headcount	Doesn’t get slower as claim volume grows

Software isn’t a full replacement for judgment — a genuinely unusual claim still benefits from someone who’s seen a thousand of them. What it’s good for is the first pass: catching the standard, well-documented items automatically so a specialist’s time goes to the claims that actually need it.

What does it cost to get a supplement written today?

Since the software category isn’t established yet, most contractors are choosing between these options right now:

Option	Typical cost
Outsourced supplement service	8–15% of the recovered amount, or $150–500 flat per submission
Retainer-based supplement service	$500–2,500/month
In-house supplement specialist	$45,000–75,000/year salary

What should you look for in supplement software, once it exists?

• Direct Xactimate compatibility. It should work with the estimate you already have, not force you into a new format.
• A code database that stays current. Local code changes — supplement software that doesn’t update lags behind the same way a person would.
• Documentation built in, not bolted on. Every flagged item should come with the photo and citation requirement attached, ready to submit.
• A clear audit trail. You should be able to see exactly why an item was flagged, not just that it was.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this live yet?+−

No. It's in development. This page exists so the category has an honest home while it's being built, not to sell something that doesn't exist yet.

Will it replace an outsourced specialist?+−

For straightforward, well-documented claims, likely yes. For genuinely unusual ones, a specialist's judgment still matters — the goal is to handle the standard items automatically so a specialist's time goes further.

What will it cost?+−

Pricing isn't set yet. The supplement side of the business is still being built, and it's worth getting right rather than locking in a number early. Waitlist members hear first, before any public pricing goes up.

Does joining the waitlist cost anything?+−

No. It's free, and it doesn't commit you to anything.
