Completed work loses its clearest proof.
Flag the shot while the material and crew are still on the roof.
Claim File
Keep the proof attached to the work.
You did the work. Claim File is a PorchRocket service built on our property data. It catches the missing photo, measurement or estimate version while the crew is still on the roof.
We call back fast. Stronger documentation, not a payment promise. Your reviewer decides what to submit; the policy and carrier decide coverage and payment.

Illustrative completeness review. Your authorized reviewer decides what the facts support.
The short answer
Every supported line item needs proof your reviewer can actually use. PorchRocket keeps the estimate, photos, measurements, and open questions together while missing proof may still be practical to collect.
The proof disappears before the invoice does
You cannot photograph yesterday’s tear-off.
Once the crew moves on, a legitimate item can still become harder to support. Close the evidence gap while the roof, material, and people who did the work are still there.
The reviewer cannot verify the quantity.
Keep the field measurement beside the exact question it supports.
The file stalls while people hunt for the right version.
Keep one current version so the office and reviewer start from the same job.
Close the proof gap while it is still cheap
Catch the missing shot before the truck leaves.
A field reminder now is cheaper than sending someone back, searching camera rolls, or arguing from memory later.
- Required photos stay with the part of the job they support.
- Measurements stay attached to the question they answer.
- Missing evidence is flagged while it may still be practical to collect.
- The authorized reviewer receives one factual packet to check.

The reviewer sees what is documented, what is missing, and what still needs a decision.
Your people make the call
Authorized reviewers decide what the facts support and what, if anything, should be submitted.

Questions roofers ask about Claim File
Will this guarantee a higher payment?
No. Nothing can responsibly promise coverage, approval, or payment. PorchRocket helps your authorized reviewer see whether completed work has the photos, measurements, estimate version, and factual support needed for review while missing proof may still be practical to collect.
Is supplementing shady?
Not when it's honest. A supplement is a factual question: the roof showed something the first estimate didn't, and here is the proof. Nothing gets invented and nobody steps outside their role. PorchRocket organizes the evidence, your reviewer decides what to submit, and the policy and the carrier decide coverage and payment.
Does my crew need to learn new software?
Not another system for your crew to live in. We map the required photos and handoffs to the tools your team already uses. The final setup depends on those tools and what they can connect to.
Who deals with the adjuster?
Your company stays in charge of its own calls and letters. PorchRocket gives the reviewer an organized file instead of a camera roll: source estimate, versions, photos, measurements, factual scope questions, and status. Complete evidence can cut the back-and-forth, but it never guarantees approval or payment.
Does this work for retail jobs too?
Claim File is built for insurance-job documentation. For retail work, Direct Mail reaches selected homes, CRM Growth goes back to leads and customers you already paid for, and Ground Control gives you lists of the homes and buildings you want.
What does my office team get out of it?
A cleaner review queue. Instead of rebuilding a file from separate camera rolls, inboxes, and estimate versions, the team can review one organized record, see what is still missing, and route questions to the right person.
