Step 2: Send a formal Scope Supplement and Reinspection Demand Letter¶

Send this letter via email and certified claim portal upload to your desk adjuster and claims supervisor:

Subject: Formal Scope Supplement, Demand for Undisputed Payment, and Request for Reinspection: Claim #[Insert Claim Number]

Salaam [Turu defarkat bi],

I have reviewed your initial Xactimate estimate dated [Insert Date] in the amount of [Insert RCV Amount] RCV / [Insert ACV Amount] ACV for the property damage at [Insert Property Address]. While I accept the initial ACV payment strictly as a partial, undisputed payment, your initial estimate omits material scope items, mandatory local building code requirements, and current local labor and material pricing necessary to restore my home to its pre-loss condition.

Attached please find our formal Scope Supplement Packet totaling [Insert Total Contractor RCV Estimate], which includes: 1. Itemized Xactimate Comparative Estimate: Detailing [Insert Difference Amount] in omitted scope items, including [e.g., General Contractor Overhead and Profit (10%/10%) for coordinating 4 trades, full-slope replacement due to discontinued shingles verified by the attached ITEL report, Steep/High roof access charges, and Content Manipulation/Detach & Reset line items]. 2. Ordinance or Law / Building Code Documentation: Copies of [City/County] building code provisions requiring [e.g., drip edge, ice and water shield, deck re-nailing, or permit fees], which are covered under the policy's Ordinance or Law provision. 3. Photographic, EagleView, and Moisture Documentation: [X] time-stamped photographs, aerial measurement reports, and repairability test videos documenting the physical damage.

Please review this supplement packet and issue a revised Xactimate estimate and supplemental ACV payment within 10 business days, or schedule a joint field reinspection at the property with my contractor [Insert Contractor Name and Phone] present so we can walk the omitted scope items together.

Ak mbégte, [Your Name, Policy Number, and Phone Number]

When to use Appraisal, State Mediation, a Public Adjuster, or an Attorney¶

If your desk adjuster and their supervisor refuse to approve a legitimate supplement or remain tens of thousands of dollars apart on the cost of repairs, you have four distinct escalation paths. Choose the right tool based on whether the dispute is over Price and Scope (how much it costs to fix) versus Coverage and Causation (whether the policy covers the peril at all):
