ESTIMATE SERVICES
-
RESIDENTIAL ESTIMATION
What Is a Residential Estimate?
A residential estimate is a detailed written evaluation of the expected costs to repair, replace, or improve part of a home—most commonly for projects like roofing, siding, gutters, fencing, or interior damage.
It helps homeowners understand the scope of work, what materials will be used, how much labor is involved, and what the total investment will likely be before committing to a contractor.
-
COMMERCIAL ESTIMATION
What Is a Commercial Estimate?
A commercial estimate is a detailed proposal outlining the expected cost, scope, and timeline of a construction, repair, or restoration project for a non-residential property. This can include buildings such as:
Office complexes
Warehouses
Retail stores
Multi-family units (apartments, condos)
Churches, schools, and municipal buildings
Whether you're addressing roof damage, upgrading exterior finishes, or restoring an entire structure, a commercial estimate provides a comprehensive breakdown of what the project entails—and how much it will likely cost.
-
RESIDENTIAL/COMMERCIAL CONSULTATION
What Is a Building Consultation?
A building consultation is a professional, in-depth evaluation of a property’s condition, structure, or project needs. It involves expert guidance and insights to help property owners make informed decisions about construction, repairs, remodeling, or damage restoration—before any major work begins.
This service applies to both residential and commercial properties, and is often used for:
Pre-construction planning
Post-damage assessments (storm, fire, water)
Property sales or purchases
Code compliance reviews
Insurance claim support
Project scoping and feasibility
APPRAISAL SERVICES
-
APPRAISAL
What Is an Insurance Appraisal?
An insurance appraisal is a dispute-resolution process built into most property policies.
Each side—policyholder and carrier—selects a qualified appraiser to determine the cost of repairs or replacement. If those appraisers disagree, a neutral umpire reviews both positions and issues a binding award. -
UMPIRE
What Is an Umpire in the Insurance Appraisal Process?
In the insurance appraisal process, an umpire serves as a neutral third party who helps finalize a claim when the two appraisers cannot agree on the amount of loss.
The umpire’s role is not to take sides—but to review both appraisers’ findings, evaluate the evidence, and make an impartial decision based on facts and documentation.

FAQs
-
A residential estimate gives you a clear, accurate picture of what it will cost to repair or improve your home—before any work begins.
Here’s why it matters:
It outlines the scope of work, materials, labor, and total expected cost.
Helps you budget responsibly and avoid unexpected expenses.
Provides documentation that may be needed for insurance claims or lender approvals.
Gives you confidence to compare contractors or understand if a quote is fair.
It's the first step toward turning your vision or urgent repair needs into a plan of action.
Whether you're replacing a roof, fixing storm damage, or renovating a section of your home, a detailed estimate removes the guesswork and provides professional clarity.
-
A commercial estimate is essential for any business or property owner planning repairs, improvements, or insurance-related work on a commercial property.
Why it’s important:
Commercial buildings often have more complex systems, codes, and logistics than residential homes.
An estimate helps you assess the full scope, cost, and timeline of your project in advance.
It’s a valuable tool for capital budgeting, tenant negotiations, or insurance recovery.
Allows you to make informed decisions with board members, property managers, or stakeholders.
Includes safety, access, and phasing plans tailored for your property type and use.
From churches and apartment buildings to retail stores and warehouses, a professional estimate protects your investment and supports better project planning.
-
A building consultation provides expert insight into the condition of your property and helps you make informed decisions—whether or not you're ready to start a project.
Why homeowners and business owners benefit:
You receive a professional opinion on visible damage, structural issues, or material performance.
Get clarity on whether you need a repair, a replacement, or a more thorough inspection.
Ideal for storm damage assessments, property sales, or pre-project planning.
Consultations help identify code issues, safety risks, or insurance-related concerns before they escalate.
For commercial properties, they assist with long-term maintenance planning and facility management.
Think of a consultation as your first layer of protection—a proactive step toward smart repairs, budgeting, and peace of mind.
