Appears in 260 of 358 scopes ESXPress has analysed and in 225 of 550 converted customer scopes — referenced by the ESXPress Completeness Advisor. Usage is measured from real claim documents, never estimated. How this is measured.
How it's written in real claims
From 317 line items across 260 scopes processed through ESXPress — the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters actually write:
- “Asphalt starter - universal starter course”296 lines
- “Asphalt starter - universal starter course shingles”6 lines
- “Asphalt starter universal - Dwelling”4 lines
- “Asphalt starter universal - Shed”3 lines
- “Asphalt starter - universal”2 lines
Dominant unit of measure: LF — used in 99% of samples.
What the Completeness Advisor checks on RFG|RFGASTR-
One ESXPress completeness check references this code. It names the item most often left out of a scope like this one:
- R3-SHINGLE-STARTER A starter course at the eaves is required by the shingle manufacturer's installation instructions — without it the warranty is void.

What it is
RFG|RFGASTR- is a Roofing (RFG) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in linear feet (LF).
ESXPress’s reference documents RFG|RFGASTR-. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 317 line items written against this code — 315 of them (99.4%) measured in LF, and one line item in UN.
The code appears in 260 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 72.6%) and in 38 of the 61 converted customer scopes.
When to use it
Use RFG|RFGASTR- when the scope calls for this code — Roofing work measured in linear feet (LF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 296 of the 317 observed line items (93.4%) were written with this code.
The Completeness Advisor’s rule R3-SHINGLE-STARTER suggests RFG|RFGASTR- for scopes like these: “A starter course at the eaves is required by the shingle manufacturer's installation instructions — without it the warranty is void”.
RFG|RFGASTR- is written more than one way in the processed scopes: “Asphalt starter universal - Dwelling” (4 of 317 line items, 1.3%). Spelling, spacing, and qualifiers vary between adjusters — which is why ESXPress normalises act text when mapping scopes.
How to use it
Measure the work in LF: 315 of the 317 observed line items (99.4%) used LF and 1 in UN. The unitAsUsed analysis puts LF at a 99.4% share, making it the safe unit for conversion.
This code accounts for 296 of the 317 sampled lines (93.4%).
Among the 209 Roofing category codes with usage evidence, RFG|RFGASTR- is the 3rd most frequent (260 scopes).
Often used together
Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as RFG|RFGASTR- — co-occurrence measured across the claim scopes processed through ESXPress with support of at least 3 scopes and lift of at least 1.5. Second, other frequently used Roofing (RFG) category codes, ranked by how often they appear in the analysed scopes. Descriptions are from the ESXPress code reference.
Real-world examples
Each example is an anonymised line from a processed claim scope: the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters wrote, with the observed line-item count. The count is line frequency across the analysed samples — never a price and never a quantity from a specific claim.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Asphalt starter universal - Dwelling”, LF, qty 4.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Asphalt starter universal - Shed”, LF, qty 3.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Asphalt starter - universal”, LF, qty 2.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Shingles, Starter Row, Continuous - Replace”, LF, qty 2.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Asphalt starter”, LF, qty 1.
