Residential and commercial projects
Xactimate estimating services turn photos, inspection reports, scopes of work, and construction drawings into detailed, itemized Xactimate estimates for insurance claims, contractor bids, and supplement submissions.
As a dedicated Xactimate estimating company, we prepare line-item estimates, supplements, and scope documentation across residential and commercial property damage. Every estimate is built with current regional price lists, RCV and ACV calculations, and clear scope notes so it holds up under review from a carrier, a contractor, or a claims adjuster.

| Equipment costs | Where applicable |
| RCV / ACV | Both calculated |

You receive a native Xactimate ESX file for import, along with a readable Xactimate estimate PDF and cost breakdown for quick review.
Roof and floor sketches, measurements, and quantity calculations are provided when they're needed to support the scope of work.

Every estimate is prepared and checked by an estimator trained on current Xactimate pricing, categories, and line-item standards.
Most Xactimate estimates are delivered in 24–48 hours, with expedited options available for urgent or catastrophe-related work.
Estimate validation and quality review before delivery, catching missing quantities, mispriced items, or scope gaps early.
Photos, inspection reports, scopes of work, or construction drawings — we build the estimate from whatever documentation you can provide.
Project details, photos, and claim information are handled confidentially and are not shared beyond your project file.
If a carrier estimate underpays a claim, we help prepare a supplement with a clear scope discrepancy review to support the request.

Xactimate estimating services turn photos, inspection reports, scopes of work, and construction drawings into detailed, itemized Xactimate estimates. We prepare bid-ready or insurance-ready line-item estimates, supplements, and scope documentation for residential and commercial property damage, delivered as an ESX file and a readable PDF.
Xactimate estimating cost depends on project size, damage type, documentation provided, number of trades, and required turnaround. A single-room water mitigation estimate requires a different effort than a commercial large-loss or catastrophe estimate.
