What is an insurance estimate?

An insurance estimate is a document put together by a restoration contractor that itemizes the cost of repairs needed to restore your home or business back to preloss condition.

It's essential to have a professional restoration contractor put together your insurance estimate for you; they will have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that all the necessary repairs are scoped appropriately.

 A quality insurance estimate should include: 

  • A detailed description of the work that needs to be done
  • The estimated cost of each repair
  • The estimated total cost of repairs
  • The insurance company's name and contact information
  • The insurance policy number
  • The date of loss
  • The adjuster's name and contact information
  • The contractor's name and contact information

Remember that your insurance company may not cover the cost of repairs not included in the insurance estimate. 

The insurance claims process

Suppose you recently had a water damage loss at your property. In that case, you will need to contact your insurance company and notify them of the loss. 

Once you have notified your insurance company, they will assign an insurance adjuster to your claim. The insurance adjuster's job is to review your insurance policy and determine what coverage you have for the damages that have occurred. In some cases, the insurance adjuster may come out to your property, inspect the damage, and determine how much it will cost to repair.

But in most cases, your insurance adjuster will review the insurance estimate put together by the restoration contractor you choose and ensure it is accurate and covers all the necessary repairs.

Once the insurance adjuster has reviewed your insurance policy and the insurance estimate, they will issue a check for the amount of coverage you have.

You will then use this insurance claim check to pay the restoration contractor for the necessary repairs.
