## Price

$450-$850 roofing square (100 sq ft) installed. 2026 published installed pricing for asphalt shingle roof replacement in the Boise/Treasure Valley area (r2fidaho.com, idahoroofingcontractors.com); your final scope and price are typically reconciled against your insurer's own claim estimate.

## What's included

- A written, itemized replacement estimate scoped to match standard insurance line-item categories
- On-site meeting with your adjuster to walk the roof and point out documented damage, if you'd like us there
- Plain-language explanation of actual cash value (ACV) versus replacement cost value (RCV) and how your payout schedule works
- No waived deductibles and no inflated estimates — practices the Idaho Department of Insurance flags as fraud
- We are not public adjusters and don't negotiate your claim for you — we document damage and give you what you need to work with your insurer directly
- Replacement scheduled and completed once your claim is approved, using the same tear-off standards as any other job
- Final invoice matched to your insurer's approved scope and payment schedule

## Process

01. **Document** — We inspect the roof, photograph the storm damage, and put together a written record you can use whether or not you end up filing a claim.
02. **Estimate** — You get an itemized replacement estimate scoped the way insurance adjusters expect to see it, so there's no gap between what we'd charge and what your claim paperwork says.
03. **Support the claim** — If it's useful, we'll meet your adjuster on-site to point out documented damage. We don't negotiate on your behalf or file the claim for you — that stays between you and your insurer.
04. **Replace** — Once your claim is approved, we schedule the tear-off and replacement, and the final invoice is matched to your insurer's approved scope and payment timeline.

## FAQ

**Will you handle my whole insurance claim for me?**

No — we're roofing contractors, not public adjusters. We document the damage, give you a detailed estimate your adjuster can work from, and can meet your adjuster on-site, but filing and negotiating the claim itself stays between you and your insurance company.

**How long does my insurer have to pay a valid roof damage claim in Idaho?**

Under Idaho Code §41-1839, an insurer must pay a valid proof-of-loss claim within 30 days or become liable for your attorney fees if it doesn't. Most policies also require the claim to be filed within one year of the damage event, so it's worth checking your own policy's deadline.

**What's the difference between ACV and RCV on my claim?**

Actual cash value (ACV) pays out your roof's depreciated value; replacement cost value (RCV) pays the full cost to replace it, often with a holdback released after the work is done. Which one applies depends on your specific policy — we can walk through what your paperwork says, but you should confirm the details with your insurer.

**How do I avoid storm-chaser scams after a hailstorm?**

The Idaho Department of Insurance's own consumer guidance flags a few reliable red flags: contractors who go door-to-door right after a storm, anyone offering to waive your deductible (that's insurance fraud, not a discount), and pressure to sign a contract on the spot. We don't do any of those things — get a written estimate, check the contractor's Idaho registration, and take your time.

## Signs you need this

- Storm damage you're planning to file an insurance claim for
- An adjuster's estimate that seems lower than what the repair or replacement will actually cost
- Uncertainty about whether your policy pays ACV or RCV
- A contractor who's offered to waive your deductible or wants you to sign immediately
- A claim deadline approaching and no documented damage assessment yet
