Field references for reading a roof after severe weather — hail sizing, damage identification and the public weather records behind a date of loss.
A 2025 forensic engineering paper on separating genuine wind damage on residential roofs from installation defects, mechanical damage and age-related deterioration, aimed at making wind assessments repeatable rather than impressionistic.
NAFEJournal of the National Academy of Forensic Engineers — Azzi · 2025
The full 118-page workbook for Haag's residential roof inspector certification: hail formation and indications, wind characteristics, impact and wind testing, weather data sources, and repair-versus-replacement cost analysis. This is the training most carrier inspectors carry.
HaagHaag Education · 2023
Forensic engineers' methods for dating hail damage on a building that has seen several storms — weathering of the impact site, oxidation, surrounding surfaces and storm data — which is exactly the question behind a carrier's "this predates your policy" denial.

Section 04 · newest 3 of 9
Manufacturer technical bulletins and installation references — the printed instructions that are enforceable alongside the code.
GAF's bulletin on whether new shingles can be used to repair an aged roof — it allows it when dimensions and exposure match, warns that a perfect color blend is "not likely," forbids trimming shingles to match, and notes aged shingles crack during repair. Central to matching disputes.
GAFGAF Residential Consumer Services · 2025
A verbatim, unedited text transcription of Chad T. Williams's peer-reviewed NAFE article on the Repairability Assessment Method — a structured way to judge whether an asphalt shingle roof can be spot-repaired without propagating damage. Figures are not reproduced; the published citation and copyright notice head the file.
NAFEJournal of the National Academy of Forensic Engineers — Chad T. Williams, PE · 2020
Chad Williams's peer-reviewed method for deciding whether an asphalt shingle roof can be repaired in place: a structured test of whether removing and replacing damaged shingles will itself damage the surrounding roof. The original published PDF, with figures.

Public references on pricing, scope and running a roofing trade as a business.
A North Carolina public adjuster's argument that Xactimate line pricing is subcontractor-level, so a prime contractor's overhead and profit must be added at the estimate level regardless of trade count. Written for restoration contractors arguing O&P with carriers.
StormProStormPro Public Adjusters LLC — Ron Hicks · 2026
Verisk's own white paper defining general, job-related and job-personnel overhead and explaining which of those costs are already inside an Xactimate unit price and which are not. The publisher's statement of what its pricing does and does not cover.
VeriskVerisk Analytics, Inc. · 2023
A short estimating memo from a claims consultancy explaining that Xactimate removal line items default to demolition (DMO) labor, and arguing the trade should be reset to the actual trade — roofing, HVAC — where specialty crews do the tear-off. Frequently attached to supplements.
