RoofingInsurance & Reimbursement4HighHomeowner$ implied
Homeowner had to pay additional thousands after a roofing company failed to verify ACV vs RCV insurance policy before starting work, resulting in an unexpected out-of-pocket cost.
Roofing contractors lack automated insurance policy verification tools to check ACV vs RCV and estimate recoverable depreciation before signing contracts, leading to surprise costs for homeowners.
