Insurance roofing jobs in Georgia: what the law lets you do
Short answer. In Georgia, a roofing salesperson on an insurance job may document damage, write a complete repair scope, meet the insurance company's adjuster and submit supplements. Roofers may not negotiate claims for homeowners or pay, waive or rebate deductibles. Robust Roofing trains its Project Managers to do insurance work the right way, with a licensed adjuster on staff.
What roofers can do
- Inspect and photograph the roof.
- Write a scope that follows code and manufacturer requirements.
- Meet the carrier's adjuster on the roof.
- Submit supplements for missed items with documentation.
What roofers cannot do
- Represent the homeowner or negotiate the claim; that is a licensed public adjuster's role, and a contractor doing the work cannot be the homeowner's public adjuster.
- Pay, waive or rebate a deductible, which Georgia's Consumer Protection Division says roofers are not allowed to do.

How Robust Roofing does it
Robust Roofing keeps a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff for documentation and scoping expertise and never waives deductibles. Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and there is no cap. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base.
