What we are about.
Sound estimating is a partnership between a father and son team. With over forty years of commercial and residential construction experience combined with eight year in the restoration industries we are able to put together a full and comprehensive repair scope/ estimate for any loss.
Our Mission
Our goal is to insure that all insurance loss estimates are all inclusive and that every line item we have at our disposal with the Xactimate software is utilized. Too many homeowners and contractors accept the initial adjuster estimate as the final dollar amount and we have taken many estimates with all honesty and with legitimate line items and have increased the payout amounts for loss claims. It is the working knowledge of how a structure is put together that helps us to be able to include items that may have been overlooked on the adjusters initial site visit.
What We've Achieved
While working with various contractors and homeowners we have increased loss payouts on both commercial and residential losses.
From a flooded three story motel with an initial adjuster estimate of $300,000.00 we were able to take the repair payout to $520,000.00 by picking up on missed items in each of the flooded units.
We were able to help a homeowner whose initial payout was $8,600.00 to have an agreed cost of repairs of just over $34,000.00.
This doesn't mean that every claim can be increased on the payout but if there are legitimate items that can be added to an estimate we will try our hardest to get them included and approved.
