This is not a theory-heavy manual or a repackaged course. Repairs Estimating Blueprint is a practical field guide built by an estimator who’s worked the jobs, fought for approvals, and learned what actually works in Xactimate — and what doesn’t.
Whether you’re brand new to repair estimating or looking to tighten up your systems, this guide gives you a complete walkthrough of the process — from sketch to scope to submission.
🔹 How to write estimates that get approved — faster and with less pushback
🔹 What adjusters actually look for (and how to beat them to the punch)
🔹 Real-world strategies for sketching, scoping, and sequencing your work
🔹 Common rookie mistakes and how to avoid leaving money on the table
🔹 Systems for speed, accuracy, and consistency that you can apply right away
🔹 Best practices for communicating with adjusters (including email templates and pushback responses)
Trade-by-trade breakdowns (drywall, paint, trim, cabinetry, plumbing, and more)
Pricing tips, layout strategies, and estimate structure that makes sense
Checklists for sketching, pre-submission review, and estimate formatting
Simple explanations of terms and tactics — no fluff, no corporate speak
Downloadable resources and templates to streamline your process
Bonus Video - Introduction to Sketching and Estimating (MP4 File)
Restoration estimators and project managers
Contractors looking to improve their Xactimate workflow
Anyone tired of slow approvals, adjuster rejections, or vague training
