You can鈥檛 afford to wait on estimates

Restorers lose time and profit waiting for estimates. Carrier-driven systems like Xactimate work for small jobs 鈥� but on complex, evolving losses, they slow mobilization, stall approvals, and force contractors to defend every line item.

Meanwhile, clients just want a credible number they can trust from the start.

In 2025, restorers with the highest annual revenues are those expanding into commercial and large-loss work 鈥� but the biggest barrier to that growth is speed and defensibility in estimating*

That鈥檚 where The EDGE comes in 鈥� your fast, defensible first estimate.
