    Document roof and exterior damage together

    A storm can affect several parts of a property. MCO prepares a construction scope for the damaged items you want reviewed, with separate descriptions for each trade. Photographs, measurements, and itemized work help you and your insurer understand what the estimate includes.

    Roofing

    Shingles, flashing, vents, and other roof components. We identify the affected areas and describe the proposed repair or replacement scope.

    Gutters and downspouts

    Damaged gutter runs, downspout sections, joints, and attachments. Measurements and component counts help distinguish the work needed in each area.

    Windows and screens

    Affected openings, glass, frames, and screens. We document the specific component and dimensions so a damaged screen is distinguished from work on the window itself.

    Exterior painting

    Affected siding, trim, or other painted exterior surfaces. The scope describes the location, surface preparation, finish work, and measured area.

    Fence repairs

    Affected fence sections, posts, and gates. We record the material, dimensions, and proposed repair work, including finish work when it is part of the scope.

    The estimate identifies observed conditions and proposed construction. Optional improvements are listed separately. Including an item in MCO's estimate does not establish insurance coverage or guarantee payment.

    Construction Details for the Adjuster Inspection

    We can attend the property inspection, identify the roof and exterior components in our estimate, and answer questions about quantities and proposed work. The adjuster records their observations, and the insurer evaluates the claim.

    Our Process

    From Damage Records to Authorized Repairs

    Each affected area has a location, a condition record, and a proposed scope of work. Your insurer controls the claim decision.

    1. Step 1

      Record the Affected Areas

      We review the roof and exterior items you identify, photograph visible conditions, and record the location and measurements of each affected component.

    2. Step 2

      Itemize the Construction Scope

      Your written estimate separates roofing, gutters, windows and screens, painting, and fence work into the relevant trade sections, with quantities and proposed repairs.

    3. Step 3

      Clarify Scope Questions

      We can attend an adjuster inspection and explain the construction scope. If additional conditions are found, we can provide photos and an updated itemized estimate for review.

    4. Step 4

      Complete Authorized Work

      If you hire MCO, we complete the work described in the signed construction contract. Your policy and insurer determine coverage and settlement.

    Understand Your Policy Costs

    Costs Are Policy Specific

    Your policy and insurer determine coverage and settlement. They also determine deductibles and depreciation. Any non-covered cost or selected upgrade may be your responsibility.

    MCO's written estimate describes the construction work and price. Your signed contract identifies the work you authorize.

    If you are considering financing for your project, review available financing options and eligibility before making a decision.

    • The affected areas: roof, gutters, windows or screens, paint, and fences.
    • Photos or notes showing the conditions you observed and when you noticed them.
    • The insurer's construction estimate, if you already have one, so we can compare the described work with visible site conditions.
    • Any temporary work already completed and the areas you want included in the construction estimate.

    Ask your insurer what documentation it needs and how it wants you to provide it. MCO explains the construction scope; the insurer determines coverage and settlement.

    Common Questions

    What Homeowners Ask Us

    Yes. MCO reviews visible damage to roofing, gutters and downspouts, windows and screens, exterior paint, and fences. We record the affected components and prepare an itemized construction estimate. Tell us which areas need attention when scheduling the inspection.

    MCO can organize a construction estimate by trade and damaged item, with separate descriptions and quantities for roof work, gutters, windows or screens, painting, and fence repairs. Your policy and insurer determine which items are covered and whether they belong in the same claim.

    A useful construction scope identifies the location, affected component, observed condition, measurements, and proposed repair or replacement work. Photos should show both the wider area and the relevant detail. MCO separates damaged-item work from optional upgrades so the proposed construction is clear.

    Share the estimate and the affected area with MCO. We can document the observed conditions and prepare an additional itemized construction estimate or supporting photos for insurer review. The insurer decides whether to change its claim estimate; additional documentation does not guarantee approval or payment.

    Report loss or damage to your insurer as soon as possible and follow the deadlines and instructions in your policy. MCO can document visible roof and exterior conditions, but your insurer should explain the reporting requirements that apply to your claim.

    ACV means Actual Cash Value and generally accounts for depreciation. RCV means Replacement Cost Value. The definitions and payment terms in your policy control, so ask your insurer to explain how either term applies to each damaged item.

    Your deductible and other coverage obligations come from your insurance policy and insurer. Non-covered work or selected upgrades may create additional costs. Any discount and total project price should appear truthfully in the written contract and final invoice. Before signing, confirm the claim treatment with your insurer.

    Know the Terms

    Insurance Terminology

    Ask your insurer how these terms apply to your policy and each affected part of your property.

    A policy term for value after depreciation. Your insurer can explain how ACV applies to each damaged item and any payment schedule.

    RCVReplacement Cost Value

    A policy term based on replacement cost. Ask your insurer whether your policy uses RCV and how any depreciation may be handled.

    DeductiblePolicy Amount

    The amount stated in your policy. Other non-covered work or selected upgrades may create additional costs.

    SupplementAdditional Documentation

    An additional estimate or supporting document submitted for insurer review. The insurer decides whether its claim estimate changes.

    Coverage Decisions and Your Construction Contract

    Your policy and insurer determine coverage and settlement. A roof inspection and exterior damage review can document visible conditions before repair. MCO can provide an itemized estimate and answer questions about the proposed work across the affected trades. The insurer evaluates the claim, and your signed contract controls work you authorize MCO to perform. The deductible and depreciation depend on your policy and insurer. So does any non-covered cost. Ask your insurer to explain the claim before signing.
