Restoration Estimates

Remote Xactimate Estimating: The Pro Support Your Restoration Team Needs

As a restoration contractor, you know that a fast, accurate estimate is the difference between winning a job and losing your shirt. But between field work and managing crews, who has time to sit in front of a computer for hours?

Whether you don't have a full-time estimator on staff or your current team is buried under a surge of new claims, Catalyst Restoration Consulting Group is here to help. We provide expert remote restoration estimating services that act as a seamless extension of your business.

Why Hire a Remote Estimator?

Hiring a seasoned, in-house estimator is expensive. Between high salaries, benefits, and the "slow months" where they have nothing to do, the overhead can crush a mid-sized company.

With Catalyst, you get executive-level estimating expertise only when you need it. No overhead, no payroll taxes—just high-quality estimates that get approved.

28+ Years of "In-The-Trenches" Experience

Most remote estimating companies are just data-entry shops. They’ve never held a moisture meter or pulled up wet carpet. We’re different.

Our lead estimator brings nearly 30 years of restoration industry experience, with over a decade focused exclusively on complex Xactimate files. We understand the actual "why" behind every line item. We specialize in:

• Water Damage & Flood Mitigation: Precise sketches and drying logs converted into defensible line items.

• Fire & Smoke Damage: Detailed cleaning and deodorization scopes.

• Mold Remediation: Ensuring estimates meet IICRC standards and safety protocols.

• Large Loss Reconstruction: Comprehensive rebuild estimates that cover every nail and board.

• Supplementing & Adjuster Negotiations: We write robust supplemental claims that stand up to adjuster scrutiny, helping you get paid what the job actually costs.

How It Works: Easy as 1-2-3

We’ve made our workflow incredibly simple so you can stay focused on the job site. All we need from you is:

1. Project Photos: Clear shots of the damage and the work in progress.

2. A Simple Sketch: Even a hand-drawn sketch with measurements works for us!

3. Field Notes: Any moisture readings, scope sheets, or drying logs you have.

Once you send the info, we deliver a professional, ready-to-upload Xactimate estimate. You review it, provide feedback, and send it off to the adjuster.

Stop Leaving Money on the Table

Don't let a "skinny" adjuster estimate or a lack of time cost you your profit. Partner with Catalyst and get the accurate, defensible estimates your restoration business deserves.
