Elkmont Estimates, LLC
Overview
Elkmont Estimates acts as a fractional senior estimator for restoration contractors, giving them access to high-level expertise without the cost of a full-time in-house hire. Their team consists of experienced restoration pros who do more than just drop notes into Xactimate. They dig into field photos, room dimensions, and scope notes to catch missed line items and build thorough, defensible estimates. On top of writing estimates, their Claims Closure Specialists help defend those scopes, handle adjuster communications, and ensure contractors get paid fairly for the work they actually perform.
How they push the industry forward
Elkmont Estimates offers on-demand estimating, claims management, and coaching to help restoration businesses grow profitably without bloating their overhead.
Xactimate Estimating & Review: Scope development and thorough documentation review to identify missing, justifiable line items.
Claims Closure Support: Active negotiation, adjuster communication, and file defense to speed up payouts.
Restoration Coaching: Hands-on guidance for owners and teams to improve field practices, refine documentation, and build scalable operations.
The partnership
Accurate estimates depend entirely on what gets captured on the job site. magicplan gives field technicians a fast, mobile tool to map rooms, capture exact measurements, and document damage right from their phones. When contractors send those detailed magicplan files over to Elkmont Estimates, Elkmont's team can quickly build complete, airtight Xactimate estimates with zero guesswork. That seamless handoff cuts down on missed scope, speeds up turnarounds, and helps contractors capture every dollar they earned.
"Our experience with magicplan has been very positive so far, particularly with the system’s ease of use and ability to work directly from a mobile device in the field. We see a lot of value in how it helps restoration contractors keep their documentation, measurements, and project information organized while they are on site. We’re excited about the potential for magicplan to complement our estimating services and help contractors provide better documentation from the start of the project."
