The Gold-Standard for Restoration

Xactimate estimates are the gold-standard in estimate writing for property insurance claims in the U.S. and Canada. In fact, 80% of all property claims are estimated in Xactimate.

Despite their market dominance, Xactimate has a steep learning curve. It requires a lot of time, training, and expertise to write an Xactimate estimate effectively.

Mitigation and Restoration Contractors Should Choose Xactimate EstimatesIf you choose to write insurance estimates in an estimating program other than Xactimate, the consequences can be costly: You will likely leave money on the table.

To leverage the power of Xactimate estimates, you need to hire an estimator familiar with the nuances of the Xactimate estimating program.

Otherwise, the insurance company will likely keep money in their coffers that should have been in your pocket.

Q: How do I order Xactimate Estimates or Invoices from Empire Estimators?

Step 1:  Scope the job using our form or your own forms or paper.

Step 2:  Scan your scope notes and save them as a PDF. (If you prefer to fax the documents, you may fax the documents after placing an estimate or invoice order to 877-550-2536.)

Step 3: Upload your scope notes to our online order form. You may also upload photos and/or any other documentation including estimates from contractors or adjusters.

Step 4: Place your estimate or invoice order with a deposit (down payment) based on the expected amount of the estimate or invoice. Choose between standard (2-business day) or expedited service (24-hours).

You will also receive login information to our secure database, where you will find all your Xactimate estimate orders and invoices.

Step 6: You review the estimate draft. If any changes are needed, you can send our Xactimate estimator a message through the database to request changes until the estimate is written to your specifications. Once this happens, you will “approve” the estimate in our database.

Step 7: Once the estimate is approved, we will send you the final invoice. Once you pay the difference between your deposit and the final estimate or invoice amount, you will receive the final estimate or invoice without a watermark.
