The Technical Confidence Every Claims Professional Needs in the Field

An expert-led, self-paced training program that provides insurance adjusters and claims professionals with the knowledge and confidence to accurately evaluate residential roofing systems, communicate effectively with contractors, and document claims with precision.

Most adjusters are expected to act like experts in the field — even when they’ve never worked in construction. This program closes that knowledge gap. By the end of this course, you’ll understand how residential roofs are built, how they function, and how to evaluate them with confidence.

The Hidden Challenge Facing New Claims Professionals

Being the authority at property inspections.

Many claims professionals lack construction backgrounds, leading to uncertainty in evaluating roofing systems.

This course equips you to confidently identify roof styles, explain components, and ensure complete documentation—eliminating stress and hesitation during inspections.

Why Roofing Knowledge Matters More Than You Think?

Residential roofing systems are far more complex than they appear.
A roof is not simply a layer of shingles.
Residential roofs are complex, multi-layered systems composed of several structural and protective components, including:

• framing systems
• roof decking
• underlayment layers
• flashing components
• ventilation structures
• different roofing materials

Each of these layers affects how a roof performs, how damage occurs, and how repairs should be evaluated during a claim.
Many homes contain multiple roof slopes and pitch variations.
If those measurements are not documented correctly, it can lead to inaccurate assessments and claim complications.

Understanding roofing systems is not just helpful — it is essential for
insurance professionals responsible for evaluating property claims.
