Turn an under-scoped estimate into a contractor-ready file.
XACTIMATE ESTIMATING + SUPPLEMENT DOCUMENTATION
Your estimate should match the work.
Most under-scoped estimates are not missing one line item. They are missing the work that connects the repair from start to finish.
We rebuild the scope around access, removal, preparation, assembly layers, trade sequence, and finish continuity. Every supported addition is documented inside the file.
THE PROBLEM
The damage is visible. The missing work usually is not.
A line for the finished surface does not automatically account for everything required to reach it, remove it, prepare what is behind it, rebuild the assembly, and restore the adjacent conditions.
- 01Protect and access
Make the work area reachable and ready.
- 02Detach and remove
Open the assembly without ignoring connected materials.
- 03Prepare and rebuild
Restore substrates, layers, transitions, and required components.
- 04Reset and finish
Complete the repair and restore continuity with surrounding conditions.
- 05Document the support
Add an F9 note tied to construction logic, file evidence, code, or manufacturer guidance.
WHAT CHANGES
We turn a short description into a usable repair scope.
This example is a demonstration only. It contains no client data and makes no outcome claim.
Replace damaged drywall and paint.
The visible result is named, but the path to complete it is not.
The complete repair sequence.
- Protect the room and contents
- Detach affected fixtures and trim
- Remove damaged finishes and materials
- Prepare and restore the substrate
- Install, finish, reset, and clean
- Document each supported addition
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SERVICE
Pick the sentence that sounds like your file.
I know the work. Write my estimate.
You already know what belongs in the estimate. We turn your clear scope into a professional Xactimate estimate. Pricing is fixed by file type and complexity.
Start a GOOD fileThe carrier missed work. Find it and document it.
We identify supported scope gaps and rebuild the file. The fee is based only on the additional amount our work supports, with a $399 minimum.
Start a BETTER fileThe file is complex and needs technical research.
We handle deeper scope analysis, code and manufacturer research, and technical file strategy. The fee is based only on the supported additional amount, with a $499 minimum.
Start a BEST fileBuilt for reconstruction. Roofing, interior repair, and reconstruction scopes. Not public adjusting. We do not negotiate claims or contact the carrier.
HOW IT WORKS
Choose what this file needs.
Start with the sentence that best describes the file. Each path stays visible, organized, and under contractor control.
What do you need us to do?
GOOD Estimate writing I know the work. Write my estimate.
We verify the file type, requested scope, and available documentation.
Your defined scope is written clearly in Xactimate.
The file is reviewed for sequence, consistency, and usability.
You receive the editable ESX and supporting file package.
BETTER Supplement documentation The carrier missed work. Find it and document it.
We compare the estimate against the documented conditions.
Potential omissions and under-scoped operations are organized for review.
The repair sequence is rebuilt around the supportable work.
Applicable file evidence and citations are tied to the added operations.
You receive an organized technical file your company can review and submit.
BEST Managed technical supplement The file is complex and needs deeper technical support.
We map the assemblies, access requirements, and repair sequence.
Code and manufacturer documentation can be incorporated where warranted.
The file becomes a connected technical argument, not disconnected paperwork.
Additional review passes are organized when required by the approved service.
Your team receives the completed file for review, approval, and submission.
WHAT THE WORK LOOKS LIKE
The file should read like the repair was understood.
Estimate rows, field documentation, and technical support should reinforce one another. These demonstration artifacts contain no client data.

APPROVED PRICING
The price follows what the file needs.
GOOD uses a fixed rate. BETTER and BEST use tiered percentage pricing only on the additional amount our work supports. We never charge a percentage on the carrier's original estimate.
Each percentage applies only to the dollars inside that bracket. We classify the file and confirm the service and price before work begins.

Send a fileMost estimate problems are not one missing line item. They are missing operations: access, detach and reset, substrate preparation, assembly layers, trade sequencing, and finish continuity.
Our estimating teams rebuild the scope in Xactimate around how the repair is actually constructed. Every supported addition receives an F9 note with a code or manufacturer citation. You receive a native ESX that your team can review, edit, and submit.

Every line we add includes a concise note and supporting source, giving your team a clear reason for the operation and a clean review trail.
-
Key photos are organized against the file so supported conditions are easier to find, verify, and discuss internally.
A clear fit before you spend a dollar.
BUILT FOR RECONSTRUCTION
Roofing, interior repair, and reconstruction scopes that need Xactimate documentation.
SUPPORTED WORK ONLY
We add operations we can defend with file evidence, construction logic, code, or manufacturer documentation.
NOT MITIGATION OR CONTENTS
Those files require different workflows and are outside our service.
NOT PUBLIC ADJUSTING
We do not negotiate claims, contact the carrier, or communicate with the homeowner. Your company controls the relationship and submission.
NOT A SAME-DAY RUSH
A defensible reconstruction takes focused review. Standard delivery is 48 hours after we receive a complete file.
NO SURPRISE START
We review the file, classify the service, and confirm the price before billable work begins.
Built for a clean handoff.
FIELD VERIFICATION LIST
Open measurements, material questions, and hidden conditions are separated from supported scope so your team knows exactly what still needs a field answer.
CITED ADDITIONS
Every line we add includes an F9 note tied to code, manufacturer documentation, construction logic, or the file evidence supporting it.
CONTRACTOR CONTROL
Your team reviews the ESX, decides what belongs in the carrier file, and controls every submission.
