Insurance adjusters lack market data on realistic contractor pricing for specific roofing materials like RFG 300s shingles, leading to disputes over supplemental costs.

Xactimate's default pricing for RFG 300s ($250/sq) is outdated and doesn't reflect actual market increases, but adjusters have no reliable real-time data source to verify contractor supplements beyond anecdotal forum input.
