Second Shift Estimating
FOR RESTORATION SHOPS · NO LICENSE REQUIRED

Insurance-ready estimates

No license. No courses.

Insurance work pays against your paperwork, and the paperwork runs on a $2,690-a-year tool, a $155/month network, and a $700 skill. We're the desk that already has all three: field photos in, Xactimate-format estimate and documentation package back in 24 hours. Nothing files without your approval.

ESTIMATE ONLY, YOUR REAL NUMBERS COME FROM YOUR OWN CLAIM LOG.

HOW THE DESK RUNS

Your estimating department,
on a 24-hour clock

You keep the field judgment and every final decision. The desk holds the licenses, the price lists, and the writers, and turns your field file into the paperwork the carrier pays against.

STEP 1, FIELD FILE

Photos, readings, voice notes, in

Upload the job file from the field: photos, moisture map, the adjuster's report, a 2-minute voice note. No format rules, the desk reads whatever your crew captured.

YOUR CREW · 5 MINUTES
STEP 2, SCOPE DRAFT

Every line of work listed the way insurers expect

We list the work: water removal, drying, repairs, equipment days, PPE, and every assumption it makes gets flagged, not buried. You'll see exactly what needs a human eye.

THE DESK
STEP 3, WRITER REVIEW

A trained estimator checks every line

A trained insurance estimator checks every line against the prices insurers pay in your area, fixes the flagged assumptions, and builds the documentation package that defends the number.

THE DESK · CERTIFIED WRITER
STEP 4, YOUR APPROVAL

You tap approve, nothing files without you

The estimate lands on your phone: line items and math shown. Approve, adjust, or push back. It's your claim, your price, your customer, the desk is the hands, you're the decision.

YOU, ONE TAP
STEP 5, SUPPLEMENT CHECK

The money nobody collects, checked every job

About 20-40% of a claim's money gets left unclaimed. Every file gets the supplement review: missed scope, unclaimed O&P, the resubmission package if the adjuster cuts.

STRAIGHT TALK

What this is,
and what it isn't

THE BOUNDARY

We're not adjusters. We're not contractors.

We've never dried a building and we don't decide your claims. You own the loss, the price, and the customer relationship, every estimate stops at your approval, and nothing files without your tap.

What we are: the estimating department, the licenses, the price lists, the certified writers, and the 24-hour clock. If a number's wrong, we rewrite it same-day, free, and fix the rule behind it. E&O covers every file we touch.

NOT SOFTWARE · NOT A COURSE · NOT A MARKETPLACE · YOUR CUSTOMERS STAY YOURS

"Is this legit, who actually writes the estimate?"

A certified Xactimate writer reviews and calibrates every file; the software just drafts. That's the right question to ask any provider, ask for a sample on a job like yours, and ask what happens when the adjuster cuts scope. We put the writer's initials on every file.

"Do I need to keep my Xactimate license?"

No, that's the point. The desk holds the licenses and price lists across all its clients, which is how a flat subscription beats one shop swallowing $2,690 a year alone. If you already own one, we still file in insurance-ready format and your subscription drops the license math entirely.

"What about supplements and adjuster pushback?"

Every job gets a supplement review, missed scope, unclaimed O&P, category questions. If the adjuster cuts, we rebuild the paperwork and send it back. That's where industry estimates say 20–40% of claim revenue hides.

"We don't do enough insurance work for this."

Under two claims a month? Don't hire anyone, including us. Pay per claim and spend the difference on equipment. The desk math wins somewhere between five and ten claims a month; the calculator above is where you check.

THE NEXT STEP

Twenty minutes.
No pitch.

Tell us how claims move through your shop and what estimating costs you today. If the desk fits, we'll say so. If it doesn't, like if you're under two claims a month, we'll tell you that too and what we'd do instead.
