The restoration and reconstruction industry comes alongside home and business owners during unexpected hard days - floods, fires, mold, and more.

As a true people-first organization, their mission is to first serve others. As such, the core values of kindness, compassion, care, service, social purpose, and family ring true to their ethos and actions in the everyday operations of the business and with clients. 

YOUR DNA

As a Claims Estimator, you’ll be instrumental in helping property owners recover after disasters. You’ll work directly with homeowners, insurance adjusters, and project managers to assess property damage, create accurate restoration estimates, and guide clients through the insurance claims process. To be a successful Claims Estimator, you'll have the following skills, background, and qualities.

• Strong Project Management Skills: This is crucial for tapping into project needs and the scope of small to very large losses. Expertise in project management and scheduling software is key.

• Industry Navigation: Building relationships with property owners, insurance companies, and third-party administrators (TPAs).

• Collaboration Skills: The ability to effectively lead and cross-collaborate across team members is key. This includes clear communication, delegation, and performance management.

• Excellent Communication and Interpersonal Skills: Estimators interact with a variety of stakeholders, including customers, insurance adjusters, and other professionals. They need to be able to communicate clearly, concisely, and professionally, both verbally and in writing.

• Technical Expertise: Understanding of property damage restoration techniques (water, fire, mold), contents cleaning and pack-out procedures, and industry best practices is necessary to assess damage, develop mitigation plans, and ensure quality control.

• Organization and Attention to Detail: Loss projects involve many moving parts. The estimator needs to be highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously while maintaining accurate project documentation.

• Customer Service Focus: Building trust and maintaining positive relationships with customers is important. Everyone on the team needs to be empathetic, responsive to customer concerns, and ensure a smooth restoration process.
