$10M storm-driven roofer. $280K a year
walking off the roof in supplements never collected.

Insurance adjuster bridging is the highest-impact workflow in roofing — supplements typically run 30-45% of the original claim, and most go undocumented or under-collected. Storm-event lead capture, warranty tracking, supplier coordination round out the leak surface. LouDNAi deploys nine named agents — purpose-built for storm-driven and commercial roofers — that close the gap in 21 days.

01

Insurance Adjuster Bridge Gap

Storm-driven roofing supplements typically run 30–45% of the original claim as additional damage is discovered during the install. Industry-average supplement collection rate: ~58% of justified supplements ever get filed and approved. Best-in-class shops collect ~88%. The 30-point gap on a $10M storm-driven roofer translates to ~$200K/year in supplements walked away from. Most of the shortfall is documentation lag — adjuster needs photos, measurements, and code-citations within 7 days; reality is 21+ days, by which time the install is closed.

"We finished a job last month. Found three layers of decking that needed replacement, code upgrade for ice-and-water shield, ridge vent issues. Total justifiable supplement: $14,200. Got $4,800 because the docs went in two weeks late."— Project manager, $8M storm-driven roofing, named on file

Storm Event Lead Capture & Drop-off

Major hail/wind events drive 3–8× normal lead volume in the first 72 hours. Industry-average storm-event lead-to-inspection conversion: ~31%. Best-in-class: ~62%. The 31-point gap on a $10M roofer typically running 200 storm-event leads = ~62 inspections never scheduled = ~$60K of revenue not in pipeline. The drop-off happens because CSRs can't keep up with inbound and homeowners call competitors after 4–6 hours of waiting.

"Hail came through on a Saturday afternoon. By Monday I had 340 missed calls and 80 voicemails. We got back to maybe 90 of them. The other 250 are roofs my competitors are tearing off right now."— Owner, $7M storm-driven, named on file

Supplement Documentation Lag

Distinct from the Adjuster Bridge gap above — this is documentation that exists but doesn't reach the carrier in time. Industry-average from supplement triggered to documents filed: 14 business days. Carrier statute of limitations on supplement filing: typically 21–30 days depending on policy. The lag means valid supplements get denied as untimely. Common cost: $40K–$80K per year on a mid-market storm-driven roofer.

"Adjuster came out, agreed to additional decking, told me to get him photos. Two weeks later production manager remembered. Adjuster says it's past the window. Forty-eight hundred bucks gone."— Production manager, $5M storm-driven, named on file

Warranty Tracking & Manufacturer Reimbursement

Roofing manufacturer warranties (GAF Golden Pledge, Owens Corning Platinum, etc.) carry callback service obligations. Industry pattern: ~40% of warranty service work goes unbilled to the manufacturer because documentation isn't filed within the manufacturer's reimbursement window. For a $10M roofer with ~8% of installs generating warranty service in any given year, this leaks ~$30K–$50K/yr.

"GAF will reimburse us for warranty callbacks if we file within 90 days. Our service tech does the call, paperwork sits in his truck. By the time accounting sees it, we've eaten the cost."— Service manager, $9M residential roofing, named on file

Crew Schedule Friction & Weather-Driven Slip

Roofing crews are weather-dependent more than any other trade. Industry-average crew utilization: ~64% (lower than other trades because of weather). Best-in-class shops with proactive weather scheduling and contingency-job rotation hit ~78%. The 14-point gap on a $10M roofer with 5 crews translates to ~$60K/yr in absorbed labor — most of it because the office can't re-route crews fast enough when weather changes.

"Forecast said clear all day Monday. Rain rolled in at 2 PM. By the time the office had a backup job lined up it was 4 PM and the crew went home. Lost the back half of the day for all five crews."— Operations director, $8M roofing, named on file
