Leading Remediation Laredo, TX

About Our Transparent Laredo, TX Restoration Advocates

We are an IICRC-certified restoration company serving the Laredo, TX community. We believe an informed homeowner is an empowered homeowner. Our estimates are created using the exact same software as your insurance adjuster. We are happy to walk you through our estimate line by line, so you know exactly what work is being done and why it's necessary.

Why is it so long?

A professional estimate is not a "ballpark" number. It is an itemized list of every single action and material needed to restore your home. This includes:

• R&R Drywall, 1/2", paint-ready
• Apply one coat of antimicrobial agent
• HEPA-vacuum all surfaces
• Containment barrier, 6-mil plasticThis detail is required by your insurance company to approve the claim.

What is Xactimate (and Why Does it Matter)?

You will hear this term. Xactimate is the industry-standard estimating software used by 90% of insurance carriers. We also use Xactimate. This means:

• Fair Pricing: The prices are set by Xactimate's database for the Laredo, TX area, not us.
• No "Apples to Oranges": It allows us to speak the same language as your adjuster, which gets your claim approved faster and with less hassle.

Key Terms to Know

• Mitigation: This is the emergency work: water extraction, boarding up windows, setting up drying equipment. This is "stopping the bleeding."
• Remediation/Abatement: This is the removal of a contaminant, such as in mold remediation.
• Reconstruction: This is the rebuilding phase: new drywall, new floors, new cabinets.
• R&R (Remove & Replace): This means the material (e.g., drywall) is too damaged to save and must be replaced.
• P.P. (Personal Property/Contents): Refers to your "stuff"—furniture, clothes, etc.

The "Overhead & Profit" (O&P) Line

Don't be alarmed by this. On any complex job involving multiple trades (plumbing, electrical, drywall), it is standard practice for a general contractor (which we are) to add 10% for overhead and 10% for profit. Your insurance company knows this and expects to pay it.
