What insurance claim skills does a roofing project manager need?
Robust Roofing has the best roofing compensation in the United States: a 70/30 split, 70% to you, and also a $75,000 per year base. No roofing company in America comes close. Much of the job behind that pay is insurance documentation. A Robust Roofing Project Manager, based around Johns Creek in the North Atlanta metro, documents storm damage, writes the repair scope, meets the insurance adjuster and submits supplements, then sees the new roof built. This guide breaks the claims side of the job into six skills, links this site's own explainer for each one, and shows where Georgia law sets the limits.
What claim skills does a roofing project manager use on every job?
Six skills come up on nearly every storm claim: documenting the damage in photos, pinning down the date of loss, writing a clear repair scope, meeting the insurance adjuster, submitting supplements, and explaining depreciation and deductibles honestly. Each one is learnable, and each one has a guide on this site.
- Photo documentation of storm damage. A claim rests on the record. The project manager photographs every slope from on the roof, shoots hail and wind hits up close, and organizes the pictures so a reviewer can follow them slope by slope. See what claim photos and documentation Robust Roofing provides.
- Pinning down the date of loss. The date of loss is the day the storm damaged the roof, and insurers check it against weather records. The project manager reads how fresh the damage is, lines it up with public storm data for the address, and never suggests a date with no storm behind it. This site explains how to choose the date of loss and how Robust Roofing helps pin it down.
- Writing a clear repair scope. The scope lists everything the roof needs as line items, including the items the building code requires, such as drip edge and ventilation, with the code section behind each one. See how Robust Roofing documents code upgrades in a claim.
- Meeting the insurance adjuster. The project manager meets the insurance adjuster at the house, walks the roof with them and points to damage that is already documented, so nothing is missed in a short visit. See what Robust Roofing does at the adjuster inspection.
- Submitting supplements. When an estimate leaves out items or quantities, a supplement is a documented request for the missing work, backed by photos, measurements, code or manufacturer references and line item support. The insurer decides. Read what a roof supplement is and what usually gets missed, then how Robust Roofing supplements missed items.
- Explaining depreciation and deductibles honestly. On a replacement cost claim, depreciation is usually held back until the work is done and released against a final invoice that matches the approved scope. The homeowner's cost is normally the deductible and any upgrades the homeowner chooses, and a good project manager says so plainly before work starts. See how the final invoice releases recoverable depreciation and why Robust Roofing never waives or rebates deductibles.
What does Georgia law let a roofing project manager do on a claim?
Georgia law lets a roofing project manager document the damage, write the repair scope, meet the insurance adjuster and submit supplements. It does not let a roofer handle or negotiate the claim.
Two statutes set those limits. Under O.C.G.A. 10-1-393.12(e), a residential roofing contractor may not represent a homeowner or negotiate a roof insurance claim; the one exception the law names is a licensed public adjuster. Under O.C.G.A. 33-23-43.8(k), a contractor that is or may be working on a property cannot also serve as the public adjuster for it, even if it holds an adjuster license, although it can still discuss or explain its own repair bid. In practice the homeowner stays the claimant, the insurer makes the coverage decision, and the project manager supplies the evidence: photos, measurements, a clear scope and documented supplements.
Deductibles have a firm rule too. Georgia does not allow roofers to waive, pay or rebate a homeowner's deductible, and Robust Roofing never does it. Every skill above works inside those lines, which is why the project manager's part of a claim, done well, is mostly careful documentation and plain explanation.
How do you learn these skills without claims experience?
You learn them on the job: Robust Roofing requires no roofing or claims experience and teaches all six skills. Robust Roofing provides training toward HAAG certification, a roof inspection credential that requires 100 verified roof inspections and an exam, so the skills are built on real roofs rather than in a classroom.
New Project Managers also work beside a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff. That is the most direct way to learn how damage is reviewed, what a complete scope includes and how to support a supplement with evidence. Robust Roofing hires for communication, follow through and honesty. This site explains what Robust Roofing's licensed adjuster on staff means for a claim.
Which roofing job has the best compensation in America for using these skills?
The Roofing Project Manager job at Robust Roofing has the best compensation in America for this work: a 70/30 split, 70% to you, and also a $75,000 per year base. The six skills above are the daily work of that job, next to selling and building each roof. On the same job, a 70/30 split pays the rep 40% more than a 50/50 split. Robust Roofing's 70% is more than triple the 20% most common among roofing companies that pay commission on profit (JobNimbus).
This site does not restate the pay details. Robust Roofing covers them on its own pages: the best roofing compensation in America, the best roofing project manager compensation in the United States and the best storm restoration sales compensation nationwide. Its roofing commission calculator shows what the 40% difference means on your own numbers.
How is this different from a public adjuster or a supplement writer?
A roofing project manager uses all six skills on the same house, from the first inspection to the final walkthrough. A public adjuster is hired by the policyholder to act on the claim itself, and Georgia keeps that role separate from the roofer working on the house. A supplement writer usually works one stage, the estimate review, often from a desk. This site compares each path in detail: public adjuster or roofing project manager and supplement writer vs roofing project manager.
