Damage inspection
Photographs and notes describing relevant roofing and exterior conditions.
Construction guidance after property damage
Detailed construction guidance when the claim gets complicated.
Sawtooth Roofing & Construction helps property owners understand the construction side of an insurance-related roof project. We inspect and photograph conditions, develop a detailed scope and communicate about the work needed to restore the roofing system.
Insurance-Claim Roofing
Our role is to make the construction scope clear.
Roof claims can involve measurements, material identification, repairability, manufacturer instructions, code requirements and concealed conditions. Organized documentation helps everyone evaluate the same roofing components and proposed work.
We can meet the field adjuster, prepare an industry-standard construction estimate and provide supporting photographs or technical information. The insurance carrier makes coverage decisions under the policy.

Our process
From inspection to completed construction
- 01
Inspect and document

- 02
Compare the scope
We review the proposed work against the observed conditions and complete roofing system.

Complete authorized work
Once scope, coverage and authorization are established, Sawtooth performs the contracted construction.
The Sawtooth standard
Clear boundaries create a better claim experience.
Sawtooth explains damage, repair methods, replacement requirements and construction costs. We do not determine policy coverage or promise that an insurer will approve a particular item.
When the scope changes because of concealed conditions or required construction details, we document the issue and communicate before completing work beyond the existing authorization.
