Contact the professionals at SERVPRO for an elaborate insurance estimate.

Insurance estimators are professionals who specialize in the process of estimating repairs for an insurance claim. 

The SERVPRO insurance estimators work to determine how much it would take for a company or individual to replace their property after a certain event. Did you know that the property restoration industry is one of the most competitive industries? The professionals at SERVPRO of South Cobb have made themselves invaluable by providing accurate insurance estimates that can be used as evidence during an insurance claim. In this blog post, we will explore the number one reason why you should hire insurance estimating professionals for restoration services!

When to call for professional insurance estimating services?

The best time to call for insurance estimating services is right after a property has undergone a fire/water/mold disaster. Choosing to call a restoration contractor that does not specialize in insurance estimating is a big mistake because they can miss multiple line items that will grant you more money back from your claim. Therefore, when choosing a contractor for a restoration project, you will want to choose a company that understands insurance estimating. 

You want to provide accurate estimates for your insurance company in the case of insurance claims. The number one reason to hire an insurance estimator is to provide an estimate that can also be used as evidence to help support a claim. 

Insurance estimating professionals will be there to support you if your insurance company denies a request. Insurance claim specialists will deny a line item in some instances because they don't want to cover certain costs. Insurance estimating professionals will have the proof and the knowledge to back up why the cost of repairs is estimated the way it was. 

Professional insurance estimating software 

Insurance estimating professionals across the United States can agree that Xactimate by Xactware is the best insurance estimating software available. The professionals at SERVPRO have relied on Xactimate for insurance estimating for many years. It is a simple insurance estimating software that will create an estimate with real-time pricing and other essential data, such as the cost to remove debris or replace carpeting.

Xactimate offers desktop and online versions as well as various apps making it easy to generate estimates quickly and on the go. For example, the insurance estimators at SERVPRO often use the online version of Xactimate to calculate costs without needing access to their office computer. 

Xactimate integrates with other tools like Matterport and Eagleview to allow for the ease of generating quotes. Matterport is a type of software that takes 3D scans of a property. The 3D scan will be kept in the Xactimate file and will be used by the insurance estimating professional as a reference point.

Eagleview is another piece of software that integrates with Xactimate. Eagleview is commonly used when a property has roof damages and needs restoration services.
