Help storm-damaged homeowners understand their claim
After a hailstorm, homeowners are confused about what their insurance will actually pay. They hear “RCV,” “ACV,” “depreciation,” and “deductible” and have no idea what it means for their roof. The Insurance Claim Value Estimator walks them through it in plain English — and captures them as a lead for your restoration team.
It’s the third of three white-label estimators in the Roofing Snapshot, branded entirely to your company.
What it explains
- RCV vs. ACV. Replacement Cost Value is what a new roof costs today; Actual Cash Value is RCV minus depreciation. The tool shows the difference clearly.
- The deductible. It shows how the homeowner’s deductible factors into what they’ll pay out of pocket versus what the carrier covers.
- Recoverable depreciation. It explains, in simple terms, how the held-back depreciation is typically released after the work is completed and documented.
The homeowner enters their rough roof size, approximate age, and deductible, and the estimator returns an educational illustration of how a storm claim usually breaks down.
What it does for you
- Captures restoration leads. The homeowner’s details flow into your GoHighLevel insurance claim tracking pipeline.
- Sets honest expectations. Homeowners arrive at the inspection already understanding the basics, so the conversation is faster and built on trust.
- Positions you as the expert. Being the contractor who educates instead of pressures is how you win the restoration job and the referrals that follow.
Compliance — handled carefully
This is the most sensitive estimator, and it’s built to stay on the right side of the law. It provides educational illustrations only. It does not file claims, does not negotiate with carriers, and never tells a homeowner you will “waive,” “eat,” or “cover” their deductible — offering to absorb a deductible is illegal in many states. The tool’s job is to inform the homeowner and start the conversation; the adjuster determines the actual claim, and your inspection determines the scope.
