RoofMarketplace Launches Total Roof Price™

In a significant leap for the roofing industry, RoofMarketplace has introduced Total Roof Price™, a novel approach designed specifically for roof claims pricing. This innovative model aims to instill real market competition into the property claims process, fundamentally transforming how insurance carriers handle roof replacements.

The Shift from Static Pricing Models

In the past, insurance claims connected to roofing often depended on estimating software that utilized static line-item pricing models to finalize settlement values. While these tools are crucial within the claims ecosystem, they frequently necessitated back-and-forth negotiations among carriers, contractors, policyholders, and adjusters regarding the actual costs associated with roof replacements. Total Roof Price™ breaks this mold by addressing the entire roofing project instead of just components, ensuring a more comprehensive and transparent pricing system.

Total Roof Price™ Explained

Total Roof Price™ provides a guaranteed roof replacement cost for either a whole roof or individual slopes, relying on competitive bids sourced from RoofMarketplace’s proprietary bidding platform. This groundbreaking solution includes every aspect of a roofing project: materials, permits, labor, and other essential components, all selected from local, manufacturer-certified, and vetted contractors who meet stringent qualification standards.

Gwen Olson, the Chief Strategy Officer at RoofMarketplace, commented, "Traditional metrics tell you what a single shingle could cost, but that alone isn’t sufficient. Total Roof Price™ delivers something fundamentally different — a guaranteed total project price supported by local contractors ready to do the job."

Incorporating into Existing Processes

Designed specifically to integrate with current carrier estimating systems, Total Roof Price™ allows adjusters to work with a single guaranteed price based on competitive data. By adopting this approach, the need for extensive post-settlement negotiations diminishes, streamlining the claims process from initial approval to restoration. This means that insurance carriers can easily integrate the system without requiring adjusters to undergo extensive retraining.

Benefits for Homeowners

Furthermore, Total Roof Price™ enhances the overall experience for policyholders. Upon receiving the Total Roof Price™, homeowners can access up to three competitive bids from local contractors, offering verified options side by side. This transparency simplifies the decision-making process, allowing homeowners to select the contractor that best meets their needs without the stress of extensive searches.

"For years, the industry struggled to reconcile estimated pricing with actual replacement costs," said Olson. "Total Roof Price™ aims to align these two aspects more closely, grounding claim settlements in real market competition. It’s a solution that benefits carriers, contractors, and homeowners alike."
