What is cleanup business in roofing?
In roofing, cleanup business often refers to prior denied, underpaid, or poorly documented claims where another contractor did not capture enough evidence. RAFTRx helps by taking a more complete look.
What should I send RAFTRx before a second-opinion inspection?
Helpful items include the claim decision letter, scope if available, date of loss, storm date, photos, videos, leak photos, and notes about what the previous roofer or adjuster inspected.

What is the difference between a roof inspection and a roof estimate?
A roof inspection focuses on condition and visible issues. A roof estimate focuses on projected repair or replacement scope and pricing after the roof has been reviewed.
