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 Longview, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Why is this estimate so much higher than a handyman's? A handyman's quote doesn't include the required items for an insurance claim, such as containment, HEPA-scrubbed air, antimicrobial treatments, and the detailed documentation, which are all essential for a safe and healthy home.
  • Can you just "cover my deductible"? No. This is considered insurance fraud. We provide a fair, transparent estimate for the actual work needed and work with your insurer to get it paid.
  • What if my adjuster's estimate is lower than yours? This is common. We will immediately contact the adjuster and walk them through our estimate, pointing out the line items or scope of work they may have missed. This is a normal part of the process.
  • Can you help me with my insurance paperwork? Absolutely. We are not public adjusters, but we are claims specialists. We can provide all the documentation and photos your insurer needs to expedite your claim.
