Why You Need This

Your restoration estimate is a legal document worth thousands of dollars - and most homeowners sign it without knowing they can challenge any line item.

Restoration companies depend on homeowner confusion. Estimates are dense, use technical codes, and arrive during the most stressful time in your life. The Estimate BS Detector gives you a simple checklist to review your estimate line by line, flagging the exact ghost fees and Xactimate overcharges that are costing homeowners money.

What You'll Check:

  • Are all line items tied to a valid Xactimate code?
  • Are per-sqft rates at or near benchmark rates for your city?
  • Does the estimate include any common ghost fees?
  • Is equipment rental billed by the day at market rates?
  • Are "assessment fees" and "mobilization charges" bundled into other line items?
✓ Completely Free - No credit card required, no account needed.
✓ Interactive HTML Tool - Interactive checklist that walks you through your estimate line by line, flagging common padding tactics and ghost fees.
