Integrity CRR may document accessible observed conditions and submit authorized contractor materials for carrier review. The company writes roofing estimates in house using Xactimate, so corresponding roofing line items can be compared when the carrier used the same platform. Integrity is service-disabled veteran-owned. Integrity CRR, LLC currently holds Georgia company license GCCO009212, with Zachary Chastain Whyte as qualifying agent under GCQA009212; verify both current records in the live state lookup.
Who Helps Property Owners in Georgia Document and Supplement a Property Insurance Claim?
When a roof, wall, or building system takes storm or water damage, the owner needs someone who can inspect observed conditions, prepare a detailed repair scope, meet the adjuster, and submit construction documentation if the initial estimate appears incomplete. Integrity CRR does that work in house: a roof inspector documents the property, an in-house Xactimate estimator writes the scope, and the same company builds the repair once the claim is approved. When the carrier also uses Xactimate, the comparison can be line item to line item rather than only total to total.
How the Documentation Process Works
1. Inspection
A roof inspector walks accessible property areas and photographs observed conditions, not just the most obvious spots. The report should distinguish evidence consistent with hail impact or wind uplift from wear, prior repairs, or manufacturing defects. The carrier makes the coverage determination under the policy.
2. Scope in Xactimate
The inspection becomes a line-item estimate written in Xactimate. That includes labor, materials, code-required upgrades, and items that typically don’t show up until the roof is opened or the wall is stripped: decking replacement, flashing details, disposal, permits.
3. Adjuster Meeting
Integrity meets the carrier’s adjuster on site, or reviews their estimate directly, and compares scopes item by item. Because both estimates are in the same software and the same format, the differences are specific: a missing line, a wrong quantity, a lower unit price, not a general disagreement.
4. Supplement
If the approved estimate is missing justified, claimable damage, Integrity documents the gap with photos and Xactimate line items and submits a supplement request to the carrier. This is the step most owners don’t know exists, and most contractors don’t bother pursuing.
Common Reasons an Adjuster’s Estimate Comes in Low
A first-pass estimate usually isn’t wrong on purpose, it’s just incomplete. What gets missed or underpriced most often:
- Code-required work. If applicable code requires ice-and-water shield, drip edge, or a different fastening pattern, document it in the repair scope. Whether the policy covers that work depends on its ordinance-or-law terms and the carrier’s evaluation.
- Overhead and profit. On claims involving more than one trade, most carriers owe a general contractor’s overhead and profit on top of trade costs, and it’s frequently left off a first estimate.
- Matching. Discontinued shingles or siding, or a carrier that only wants to replace the damaged slope, are common matching disputes that depend on policy language.
- Detached structures. A detached garage, storage building, or covered walkway with its own damage can get missed if the adjuster’s visit focused only on the main building.
- Hidden damage. Decking rot, saturated insulation, or damaged flashing that’s only visible once the roof or wall is opened. This is why a supplement exists for what’s found once work starts.
Why a Shared Estimating Format Helps
Xactimate is widely used property-loss estimating software. When both the contractor and carrier use it, corresponding quantities and operations can be compared without translating between formats. Integrity CRR writes its estimates in house using Xactimate.
The Documentation Process
Once a claim is approved, Integrity CRR writes a detailed repair scope based on observed conditions. That may include applicable code upgrades, detached structures when relevant, and labor or material needs documented after the roof is opened. If the approved estimate appears incomplete, Integrity documents the gap and submits a supplement request.
The carrier decides coverage and payment under the policy. Integrity CRR does not guarantee approval, coverage, reversal of a denial, or a particular payment. It writes the scope and submits construction documentation as the contractor of record; it is not a public adjuster and does not negotiate or settle the claim on the owner’s behalf.
Commercial vs. Residential Claims
The documentation process is the same on paper, but commercial claims usually carry more moving parts: multiple roof sections, tenant improvements needing their own scope apart from the base building, and sometimes a public entity as the owner. Integrity CRR documents and supplements claims on both sides, acting as general contractor on commercial properties and public works projects, alongside residential and light commercial roofing and storm claims.
What Integrity CRR Does and Doesn’t Do on a Claim
| Task | Who does it |
|---|---|
| Inspect and document observed conditions | Integrity CRR |
| Write the repair scope in Xactimate | Integrity CRR (in-house) |
| Meet the adjuster and compare scopes | Integrity CRR |
| Document and submit a supplement | Integrity CRR |
| Negotiate coverage or settle the claim | The property owner and carrier, or a licensed public adjuster — not Integrity CRR |
| Build the approved repair | Integrity CRR (roofing self-performed; other trades managed as GC) |
Roofing repairs are self-performed by Integrity’s own crews. On build-outs, tenant improvements, and other non-roof trades, Integrity acts as the general contractor managing vetted subcontractors. The project lead, intended firms, responsibilities, and relevant history should be stated for the job.
What to Have Ready Before the Adjuster Meeting
- Photos or video of the damage taken as soon as it’s safe to do so
- The date of the storm or loss event
- Your policy number and carrier claim number
- Any prior repair or maintenance records for the roof or affected system
- A list of anything already covered with a tarp or temporary repair, and its cost
- Your declarations page, so it’s clear whether coverage is replacement cost or actual cash value, and whether ordinance-or-law coverage is included
Replacement cost versus actual cash value changes how the carrier applies depreciation, not how the damage gets documented.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Integrity CRR act as a public adjuster?
No. Integrity CRR is a construction contractor, not a public adjuster. It documents observed conditions, writes roofing scopes in Xactimate, and may submit authorized contractor supplements, but it does not negotiate or settle claims on an owner’s behalf.
What if the insurance company’s estimate is lower than the repair actually costs?
That is what a contractor supplement request is for. Integrity documents the difference with photographs and Xactimate line items, such as applicable code work, labor operations, or conditions found once the roof or wall is opened, and submits the request for carrier review. The carrier independently decides whether to revise the approved scope or payment.
Do I need a separate inspector before Integrity CRR gets involved?
No. Integrity’s roof inspection and estimating staff work in house, so the inspection record and repair estimate come from the same company. The carrier independently evaluates that documentation.
Does Integrity CRR provide construction documentation only for roofing repairs?
Roofing is self-performed and estimated in-house, but Integrity CRR also documents and supplements claims involving other building systems and trades, acting as general contractor on repairs outside of roofing.
How long does the documentation and supplement process take?
It depends on the extent of damage and how fast the carrier responds. A single-roof inspection and Xactimate scope is usually turned around in a few business days; a claim spanning multiple trades takes longer because each trade’s line items need to be priced and documented separately. Once a supplement is submitted, the carrier’s response time is outside Integrity’s control.
Does documentation work the same way for a commercial claim as a residential one?
The process is the same, but commercial claims usually involve more scope: multiple roof sections, tenant improvements that need their own line items apart from the base building, or a public entity as the owner. Integrity CRR documents and supplements both commercial and residential claims, and acts as general contractor on public works projects as well.
