2. Step-by-Step Execution Protocol
Property adjusters use Xactimate software settings to strip out General Contractor Overhead and Profit (20%), depreciate non-material labor, and pay for partial 'patch repairs' using mismatched shingles. Citing your state's Uniform Reasonable Appearance / Matching Statute forces full-slope or full-roof replacement.
