The Supplement Checklist: Line Items Carriers Miss

If you write or review residential property estimates as an independent or public adjuster, this checklist was built for you.

Most estimate fights start in the wrong place. The base price gets argued line by line while entire items sit missing from the scope: the starter course, the drip edge the local code requires, the detach and reset nobody scoped, the contents manipulation nobody counted. Price disputes drag on because they are opinion against opinion. A documented missing line item is different. It is either required to restore the property or it is not, and when you can show it is required, approval stops being a negotiation.

The Supplement Checklist is a free PDF that gives you the full pass we run before any estimate goes final. Inside:

• The complete roof checklist, from starter course and ridge cap to steep charges and debris logistics
• Exterior and interior items that vanish from first drafts, room by room
• The three part documentation habit that gets a line approved on first submission
• The five most common supplement mistakes and the fix for each one
• A submission format that reads like a correction, not an opening bid

Download the PDF, run it on your next three claims, and watch how the conversation changes when your supplement arrives as a finished package instead of a number.

One more thing. If you would rather never rebuild this discipline by hand on every file, take a look at MESHA. It is a claims management platform built for independent and public adjusters, where every claim moves through an 8-phase pipeline, every photo and code excerpt lives in a document hub tied to the claim, and smart drafting tools help you assemble supplement packages in minutes. Join the waitlist at mesha.cc/waitlist and see how much of this work your claims system should already be doing for you.
