What an Independent Scope Review Involves

An independent scope review examines the repair scope associated with a property insurance claim. The review may involve line-item estimate comparison, roof system evaluation, quantity verification, material identification, measurement reconciliation, code upgrade considerations, repair versus replacement analysis, damage documentation review, and interior or exterior inspection findings.

Common Scope Disagreement Issues

Common valuation and scope disagreements include missing roofing accessories, ridge cap omissions, drip edge replacement disputes, underlayment scope disagreements, flashing replacement issues, window wrap damage, fence staining omissions, interior paint blending, flooring transition disputes, moisture-related damage, HVAC impacts, and commercial roofing assemblies.

Scope Review Versus Coverage Determination

Independent scope review focuses on the amount of loss and repair scope associated with covered property damage. Coverage determinations, exclusions, and policy interpretation questions may involve separate claim-handling issues.

Documentation Used During Scope Reviews

Documentation commonly reviewed includes roof measurements, drone imagery, moisture inspection findings, contractor estimates, photo documentation, Xactimate estimates, Symbility estimates, material pricing databases, building code references, repair invoices, inspection reports, and engineering reports.

Residential and Commercial Property Scope Reviews

Independent scope review may involve residential roofing systems, multifamily property damage, commercial roof assemblies, office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, warehouse structures, and storm-related commercial losses.

Texas Storm Damage Scope Review Issues

North Texas storm events frequently produce hail impacts, wind-driven damage, roofing granule loss, creased shingles, water intrusion, flashing displacement, siding damage, window damage, fence damage, and gutter system impacts.
