Why roofing contractors outsource supplement writing

Xactimate supplements take hours to write correctly. Most contractors don't have that time, and thin supplements get cut.

The carrier came back low

The initial estimate doesn't cover the full scope. Line items are missing, pricing is outdated, and code upgrades aren't included. Every missed item is money out of your margin.

You don't have Xactimate

Xactimate runs $223–$330 a month plus training. For contractors who don't write claims every day, that's a cost that doesn't pencil. You shouldn't have to buy the software to do the job you were called to do.

Your crew is on the roof, not at a desk

Supplement writing takes hours. That's hours you're not estimating the next job, managing production, or closing the sale you worked for. The bottleneck isn't the work -- it's the paperwork.

Thin documentation gets cut

Carriers don't pay what isn't proven. A supplement without supporting documentation, code citations, and proper line items gives the adjuster every reason to push back. Defendable supplements get approved faster.

How it works

Four steps from your job site to a completed supplement file. You never leave the field.

01

Send Your File

Upload the carrier's initial estimate, your scope notes, photos, and measurements through our portal. That's all we need to start.

02

We Write the Supplement

Line-by-line scrub of the carrier estimate. Every missed item, code upgrade, and pricing gap gets documented in Xactimate format with supporting evidence.

03

Quality Review

Every file is reviewed for accuracy and code compliance before delivery. No file leaves without a second set of eyes on it.

04

Delivered to You

You receive the complete supplement packet. You submit it to the carrier. You keep the adjuster relationship. The file never goes anywhere except to you.

What's included in every supplement file

Every file is complete. No add-ons, no upsells, no per-revision fees.

Line-by-line carrier estimate scrub

Every line item on the carrier's estimate is reviewed and challenged where it falls short.

Xactimate-format supplement

Written in the same software the carrier uses, so the adjuster can review it directly against the original scope.

Code upgrade documentation

Local building codes, manufacturer specs, and required upgrades the carrier missed are cited and documented.

Evidence packet

Photos, notes, and supporting documentation organized to back every line item in the supplement.

Insulation scoping

Included at no extra charge on every roofing file. Carriers routinely miss this.

Common questions

Straight answers about how DCS works.

Do I need Xactimate to work with DCS?

No. DCS produces the complete Xactimate supplement file for you. You receive it and submit it to the carrier. You never touch the software and you don't need a subscription.

Will DCS contact my carrier, adjuster, or homeowner?

Never. Every file is delivered to you and only to you. DCS does not contact carriers, adjusters, or homeowners under any circumstance. You keep the adjuster relationship and the customer relationship.

How fast is turnaround?

48–72 hours from receipt of a complete file. If we need clarification, the clock pauses while we wait. Rush processing is available for +$75 and moves your file to priority queue with same-day start.

What do I need to send you?

The carrier's initial estimate, your scope notes, photos of the damage, and measurements. The more complete the file, the faster and more accurate the supplement. We'll tell you if something is missing before we start.

What if the carrier pushes back on the supplement?

That's between you and the carrier. DCS writes and delivers the file -- you submit it and manage the adjuster relationship. If you need a revision based on carrier feedback, contact us and we'll work through it.

Do you handle siding and interior too?

Yes. Siding supplements can be added to any roofing file. Interior supplement writing is also available at separate flat rates. See full pricing for all service types.

DCS delivers every file to the contractor. We never contact your carrier, adjuster, or homeowner — ever.
