RoofingEstimating & Quoting4HighOwner$ implied
Roofer cannot produce adequate Xactimate line items for rubber roofing claims, leading to insurance estimates that don't cover material and labor costs.
Xactimate's standard line items for rubber roofing are insufficient for fully adhered systems with additional components, and the roofer cannot justify the cost of buying Xactimate for infrequent use after a hail storm.
