Rebuild Estimator in Houston: Interior Repair Estimates

Detach and reset, protection, repairs behind finishes, labor sequencing and cleanup — the parts that decide whether the job can actually be built as written.

Once the mitigation is done and the walls are open, somebody has to write down everything it takes to put the house back. That is the rebuild estimate. I come to the property, measure each room and write an itemized Xactimate estimate for the rebuild: protection, detach and reset, what is behind the finishes, drywall, texture, paint, flooring, cabinets, trim and cleanup, in the order a crew would do the work.

Homeowners use it to plan the repairs and compare contractor proposals. Restoration companies, remodelers and general contractors use me as an outside estimator for the rebuild side of the job. I spent ten years as a Houston contractor before I started estimating. I’m an independent estimator, not a public adjuster or insurance adjuster. I don’t negotiate claims, interpret coverage or promise any claim outcome or payment. I document the damage and write the repair scope.

I serve Houston and the surrounding area, from Webster and Clear Lake to Katy, Cypress and Spring. See the service area and pricing.
