Posted on July 8, 2025 by Berverley Chengetai

2025 Insurance Claims

The roofing and insurance worlds are closely tied, and 2025 brings new changes every contractor should know. As climate-related claims rise and carriers tighten policies, roofing professionals must stay informed, compliant, and ready to document everything. Here’s what you need to know to navigate insurance claims in 2025 like a pro and how Pitch Gauge can help you stay ahead.

1. Faster Claims, Stricter Documentation

Insurance companies are pushing for faster turnaround on claims but also demanding detailed, verifiable documentation. That means photos, measurements, and time-stamped reports are more important than ever.

Pro Tip: The Pitch Gauge app lets contractors take precise roof measurements, capture on-site photos, as well as generate professional reports that meet insurer documentation standards right from your phone.

2. Carrier-Specific Requirements Are Tightening

In 2025, many insurers have rolled out new claim requirements, including:

  • Pre-loss documentation
  • Drone or aerial imagery
  • AI-based estimate matching

If you are not already using digital tools to gather and submit this data, you may risk delays or denials.

With Pitch Gauge Roof Reports, you can order accurate reports instantly as well as integrate them with your claim documentation, increasing approval rates and speeding up payouts.

3. Policyholders Need More Education

Homeowners are often unaware of their policy limits, deductibles, and what’s covered in storm damage. Contractors who take the time to educate clients not only build trust, but they also help prevent claim rejections.

Use Pitch Gauge’s visuals and reports to clearly show property owners damage areas, building transparency, as well as boosting confidence in your services.

4. Public Adjusters & Contractors Need Better Collaboration

As claim values rise, many homeowners are turning to public adjusters. In 2025, roofing contractors who can collaborate professionally with PAs as well as attorneys will stand out.

Pitch Gauge CRM helps streamline communication between roofing pros, adjusters, and clients, keeping everyone on the same page with shared notes, photo logs, and inspection data.

5. AI and Automation Are Gaining Ground

Insurers increasingly use AI to analyze claim photos, detect fraud, and compare estimates. Contractors who use equally advanced tools will have the edge when their work is reviewed by machines.

Pitch Gauge’s technology aligns with these advancements, helping you submit structured, data-backed claims ready for AI-based claim systems.

In Conclusion

2025 is a turning point for how insurance claims are processed in the roofing industry. With higher expectations and more digital requirements, contractors who adapt early will win more jobs and get paid faster.

Pitch Gauge is your roofing claim assistant, helping you inspect smarter, document faster, and protect your profits.
