Who We Work With
Contractors
Especially those new to insurance claim work who don't have the time or budget to learn specialized insurance estimating software. Our writers deliver comprehensive repair estimates priced according to the relevant geographic area.
Homeowners & Property Owners
If you're managing an insurance claim alongside a contractor, it's worth having your own read on the repair timeline and scope. Our estimators help you assess your insurer's damage appraisal so you can compare it fairly against your contractor's estimate.
Adjusters
If your claim volume is high and you don't have time to inspect and scope every damage site yourself, we can convert your field scopes into finished estimates and diagrams, helping you avoid the cost of an expensive software subscription.
Also serving
Lawyers, siding contractors, emergency services contractors, specialty contractors, property management companies, general contractors, restoration contractors, remodeling contractors, water extraction contractors, public adjusters, roofing contractors, drying contractors, cleaning companies, painting contractors, and building owners.
Turnaround Times

Helping Contractors Win More Bids
Monthly Packages Built Around Your Workload
Contractors regularly turn to us for reliable, professional estimating and takeoff support. Many opt for our monthly packages since they cut costs while still delivering accurate, efficient takeoffs. We keep our pricing budget-friendly across the board, and our packages can reduce the cost of maintaining an in-house estimator by as much as 60 percent.
