3 STEPS TO A DEFENSIBLE ESTIMATE
2021-06-14T00:00:00.05Z
Briana Nelson
Building an estimate for a roofing restoration project can seem like a simple task for a contractor or an adjuster who has been in the game for a while. However, how accurate are those estimates? How defensible are the estimates? If the roofing project was an insurance claim, how quickly did the claim close? Was there an exorbitant amount of back and forth on who is right and what items should be covered by the policy? To ease your headache after thinking about the nuances of a roofing claim, we are here to give you 3 steps to a defensible estimate that you can try today.

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Building an estimate for a roofing restoration project can seem like a simple task for a contractor or an adjuster who has been in the game for a while. However, how accurate are those estimates? How defensible are the estimates? If the roofing project was an insurance claim, how quickly did the claim close? Was there an exorbitant amount of back and forth on who is right and what items should be covered by the policy? To ease your headache after thinking about the nuances of a roofing claim, we are here to give you 3 steps to a defensible estimate that you can try today. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: small;">1. Get the jurisdiction right the first time.</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Based on proprietary data, we have found that by using the zip code or city name alone to define jurisdiction for a property within the United States, one will be wrong 40-50% of the time. Wait, what?! Jurisdiction cannot be defined by using the US postal address for a property. Which can be very frustrating for a contractor or adjuster trying to find what should be simple information. And, if you get the jurisdiction wrong, your estimate could be off by upwards of 25%! That means that you could be leaving thousands of dollars on every claim on the table. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">By using systems like <a href="https://www.oneclickcode.com/">OneClick Code</a>, you will instantly see the correct jurisdiction for any given property address in the United States. We do the heavy lifting for you. OneClick Code uses patent-pending data to define jurisdiction for properties across the U.S. so that you don't have to guess anymore. Having the correct jurisdiction identified is the first step towards a defensible estimate. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: small;">2. Prove Enforcement & Requirements for Building Codes</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Building code enforcement is one of the topics that we hear about frequently in the industry surrounding insurance claims. The common comparison for code enforcement is whether or not the speed limit is enforced at all times for drivers on the roadways. At <a href="https://www.oneclickcode.com/" rel="noopener">OneClick Code</a>, we understand the importance of code compliance and therefore provide evidence for each property on whether or not the code is enforced and which items are required by law to be on the structure at that given time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Each code item adds another layer or defensibility for an estimate. Take Ice & Water Shield for instance. This one line item can be required for property A but not required for property B based on jurisdictional requirements. However, both of these properties could be right across the street from one another. This one line item can increase or decrease an estimate by over $1500! Having the correct information regarding code enforcement and knowing which codes are required for that property is the second step in creating a defensible estimate. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: small;">3. Documentation, Documentation, Documentation</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Ok, so we have jurisdiction and code enforcement and requirements down. Now what? Saying that a code is required or enforced is often not enough to provide a defensible estimate for a roofing project. What we need is solid <em>proof</em> about jurisdiction, code enforcement, and code requirements. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Garrett Kurtt, the founder and CEO of OneClick Code knows this well. As an adjuster, roofer, and estimator, Garrett knew that he needed to provide documentation that could not be disputed. <a href="http://www.app.oneclickcode.com/" rel="noopener">OneClick Code</a> was created to do just that. We provide our users with comprehensive documents to back up all of the trusted information on our platform. These documents include a letter from participating municipalities stating if Ice & Water Shield is required, a full code detail PDF which provides all of the code language for each line item required or not required, and a detailed PDF displaying manufacturer requirements against required code for that property. We are adding more documents every day to help our users have the most solid proof for their estimates. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">You could spend your time creating spreadsheets, manually tracking down information, and writing letter after letter to build a defensible estimate. However, there are many tools out there that can help you succeed at the level that you deserve. OneClick Code was designed to be the first tool that contractors and adjusters turn to since jurisdiction and code requirements are the building blocks of a defensible estimate. Once you have a solid foundation in your estimate, the other stuff is easy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We hope this helps you build a stronger estimate for your next project! Reach out to OneClick Code today if you have any questions or need some guidance on how to use OneClick Code to your advantage. </span></p>

Wind Damage in Thornton, CO
2021-06-09T11:22:23.05Z
High Impact Roofing & Exteriors
<p>High Impact Roofing and Exeteriors was able to replace the front slope with Owens Corning Duration (in the color Desert Tan) shingles that carry a 130 MPH wind warranty. The homeowner was very pleased with the crew and the finished product. </p>
<p>This homeowner is located in a high wind area in Thornton, Colorado. The previous roof was installed with builder-grade shingles that were not properly installed. There were only 3 nails per shingle which voided the warranty and the wind rating. </p>

Wood Shake Replacement in Centennial, CO
2021-05-11T13:23:07.05Z
High Impact Roofing & Exteriors
<p>High Impact was able to find an impact-resistant shingle that matched the house's paint colors and exterior brick. The roof was replaced with dimensional asphalt shingles, Owens Corning Duration Storm in the color Teak. The homeowners were extremely happy with the new discount they received with a class 4, impact-resistant shingle. </p>
<p>This home had a 30-year-old wood-shake roof that had multiple leaks and was in need of replacement. The homeowners were paying a very high premium for their insurance policy to cover the shake shingles. The small amount of hail that has hit this neighborhood wasn't being covered by insurance. It was time for the roof to be replaced, it was at the end of its life. </p>

Bring your furry friends by our booth to sign up for your free roofing estimate as we all help to support this wonderful cause.
<p>Bring your furry friends by our booth at <strong>Wash Park this Saturday 5/7/16, from 7AM to Noon</strong> to help us support the <strong>Denver Dumb Friends League</strong> at their annual <strong>Furry Scurry</strong> event, helping local shelters provide care for thousands of animals awaiting their own forever homes. The walk begins at 9AM. There will be an agility course, contests, and a variety of vendors on site to keep you and your pets entertained, come rain or shine.

We will have Toby, our own Woofing Specialist, on hand to help us get you a free estimate. Your donations and participation can save so many lives and help give a voice to those that have none. </p>

Re-Roof and Painting in Colorado Springs
2015-10-22T13:56:22.05Z
High Impact Roofing & Exteriors
<p>Our project manager was able to step in and help the homeowner find a recommended replacement painter they could trust on such short notice.The project manager was able to have the new painter out to the client's home the very same day to complete the job as scheduled. It's one example of how we go above and beyond to help make our customers happy.</p>
<p>A homeowner in Colorado Springs needed a roof replaced and new paint on his home after hailstorms hit the area. The roof replacement went smoothly, with High Impact providing swift service and excellent installation, but at the last minute, the scheduled painter had an emergency and was unable to make the set appointment. </p>

Hail Storm Damage in the Denver Area! High Impact Restoration Can Help.
2015-09-30T00:00:00.05Z
High Impact Roofing & Exteriors
High Impact can solve your hail damage problems this fall. Storm damage is a common problem, and we can get your roof back to normal as quickly and efficiently as possible.
<p>Hail storm damage costs homeowners in the Denver area thousands every year, and most recently we've seen hail damage across Lakewood and Centennial areas. It's inevitable that when baseball sized ice comes crashing down that your roof is going to suffer. We know how hard it is to deal with the resulting damage, and how tough it is to find a local and reputable company to help you understand the situation and the right way to handle it.</p>
<p>The most common shingled roofs have been designed with the weather in mind, but with extreme weather like hail and high winds, there is no telling what damage you could sustain or what that might look like. Some homeowners only lose a few shingles, others need a full roof replacement. Storm damage can be less obvious than what you can initially see, and it takes some know how to determine the best course of action.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.highimpactco.com/core/images/roofers/services/common-problems/roof-blowoff-damage.jpg" alt="Damaged Roof" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Here at High Impact our certified and trained specialists are here to help you thoroughly inspect your roof. We can help you be sure that the problems are addressed properly and you get everything you need from your insurance company. Damage can sometimes be hard to spot and lead to additional leaks or problems down the road. Give us a call or contact us for a free estimate so we can be sure your home is repaired and roof is secure.</p>

Roof Replacement in Englewood, CO

High Impact Roofing & Exteriors
<p>After meeting with the HOA and the homeowner, our highly experienced Project Manager, was able to help narrow down material and colors that satisfied both the HOA guidelines and the homeowner. The Project Manager had experience working within an HOA community and this helped mediate any questions and concerns they had. Everyone was very pleased with the workmanship, quality and customer service they had received from our High Impact Project Manager!</p>
<p>As many know, Homeowners Associations have guidelines that the homeowners living in the community must abide by. These guidelines help maintain the homes in the community and provide a peace of mind to many families living within the community. This particular homeowner had experienced storm related damages to her home and was working with the HOA to see what material types and colors fit into their guidelines. It was taking some time to come to an agreeable decision so the homeowner turned to High Impact for our extensive knowledge in roofing materials and colors. </p>

As a homeowner, knowing what to look for in a reputable, experienced company is helpful especially when it comes to your home repair project.
<p>Storm Chasers will migrate to the different areas that storms damage. After the storm business dries up, they pick up and move to the next storm damaged area. It is important that you, as a consumer, have a company you can turn to if you have any warranty issues down the road after the job is done. A great way to figure out how long the company has been in business is by checking them out on the BBB website in your area. This can help you gauge the service that the company provides.</p>
<p>At High Impact, we are local to the Denver Metro area, we are listed on the BBB with an A+ rating; we are affiliated with the ICC, and are members of both the CRA and the NCRA. High Impact is also a member of the DTC Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Englewood Chamber of Commerce, HAAG Certified, and are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.</p>
