Xactimate Estimating Services for Roofing Contractors
Outsourced residential and commercial roofing estimates in Xactimate or Symbility, prepared with your company branding.
What does this service do?
The Roofer’s Desk prepares roofing estimates from scratch or from an initial scope. The team uses the available measurements, photos and job information to describe the proposed work in a format your business can present and discuss.
What support can include
The engagement starts with an agreed scope. These are the capabilities to discuss with the team:
- Build estimates from project information or review an initial scope.
- Prepare residential and commercial roofing estimates.
- Use Xactimate or Symbility according to the agreed assignment.
- Include your company logo and contact information.
- Identify questions or missing supporting information that need attention.
What to prepare before the handoff
A useful first conversation starts with the information your team already has. The exact checklist depends on the assignment:
- Property location, roof type and the intended estimating assignment.
- Measurements or a roof report, with photographs tied to the areas of work.
- The initial scope if one exists, plus known revisions.
- Your company branding and the contact who can clarify job conditions.
How we work with your operation
First, align on scope, access and responsibilities. Next, share the available file and identify gaps. The team then performs the agreed estimating or administrative work, records activity and communicates the outstanding next steps. Your existing CRM or the customer portal can support that handoff.
Timing, pricing and reporting
Request a proposal based on your workload, file complexity and required services. Confirm turnaround expectations, communication responsibilities and what reporting you will receive before the work starts. The consultation establishes expectations for your specific workload.
Common questions
Do you create estimates without a carrier scope?
Yes. Estimates can be prepared from scratch or from an existing scope. The team will confirm whether the available documentation is sufficient before proceeding.
Do you use Symbility as well as Xactimate?
Yes. Both are listed in The Roofer’s Desk’s service materials. Confirm your preferred format when assigning the work.
Can I use an estimate as proof of coverage?
An estimate describes work and estimated cost; it is not an insurance coverage determination. Keep scope, pricing and coverage questions distinct when discussing the file.
