Window after a hailstorm when homeowner intent peaks
You're a master siding installer. You shouldn't also be fighting insurance adjusters, tracking manufacturer rebates, and managing 28-stage project pipelines from your truck.
Hailstorm hits. You canvass 200 doors. You close 3.
A severe hailstorm damages 3,000 homes in your county. You spend two weeks knocking doors, but your follow-up falls apart because you're also managing 8 active installs.
Insurance supplements that never get filed
You tear off the old siding and find rotted sheathing on 40% of your jobs. The adjuster's initial scope didn't include it. You know you need a supplement, but writing one takes 2 hours you don't have.
Manufacturer volume commitments you can't track
You're a James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor. You committed to 50,000 sq ft this year. It's September and you have no idea if you're at 30,000 or 45,000.
Material takeoffs that take longer than the install
A homeowner wants a Hardie lap siding quote. You need to calculate gross wall area, subtract windows and doors, add waste factor, price trim, soffit, fascia, housewrap, and starter strip. Your spreadsheet is from 2019.
Agent Spotlight
See your agents in action.
Hailstorm at 4pm. Inspections booked by 4:30pm.
A severe hailstorm with 1.5-inch hail hits three zip codes in your service area. The Storm Canvassing Agent activates automatically — surging digital ads, sending targeted mailers to affected neighborhoods, and booking free inspection appointments before competitors arrive.
Adjuster lowballs the scope. Your supplement is filed before they leave the driveway.
The adjuster inspects a storm-damaged home and approves only partial siding replacement. Your Insurance Advocate Agent generates a detailed supplement with line-item documentation, photos, and Xactimate pricing — filed within 24 hours of the inspection.
8 active installs. Zero material delays. Every crew knows their schedule.
You have 8 siding jobs in various stages — from tearoff to final walkthrough. The Production Coordinator manages material deliveries, scaffold logistics, crew assignments, and daily progress logs across every project simultaneously.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does the Storm Canvassing Agent detect hailstorms in my service area?
It monitors NOAA weather data, hail maps, and storm spotter reports. When a qualifying storm (1"+ hail or 60+ mph wind) hits your configured service area, it activates storm response mode automatically — surging ad spend, generating targeted outreach, and pre-positioning inspection schedules.
Can it handle insurance supplement documentation?
Yes. The Insurance Advocate Agent generates line-item supplement requests with photo documentation, measurement data, and Xactimate-compatible pricing. It tracks each supplement through the approval process and follows up with adjusters automatically.
Does it track manufacturer volume commitments and co-op funds?
Yes. Configure your brand certifications (Hardie Elite Preferred, LP BuildSmart, etc.) and the Brand Relationship Agent tracks every square foot installed against your annual commitment, monitors co-op fund balances, and alerts you when warranty registrations are due.
Can the Measurement Agent generate material takeoffs from HOVER reports?
Yes. It parses HOVER and EagleView measurement reports, applies waste factors based on complexity rating (simple/average/complex), generates line-item takeoffs for siding, trim, soffit, fascia, housewrap, and accessories, and creates distributor purchase orders.
How does it handle hidden damage discovered during tear-off?
When a crew reports hidden damage (rotted sheathing, moisture damage), the Production Coordinator logs it with photos and measurements. The Insurance Advocate automatically generates a change order and supplement request. The system tracks hidden damage rates across all projects for business intelligence.
Does it support the full 28-stage siding project pipeline?
Yes. From lead through warranty registration, every project moves through a granular pipeline — including insurance-specific stages (adjuster scheduled, supplement submitted, ACV received) and production stages (tearoff, sheathing, housewrap, siding, trim, soffit/fascia, punch list, walkthrough).
