About XactNow
Our History
XactNow has decades of experience in the insurance and construction industry. We are staffed by Xactimate instructors, former staff adjusters, mitigation estimators, independent adjusters, and contractors that understand all aspects of the claims and construction industry. We have written thousands of estimates in Xactimate for all types of damage.
Guess What?!
Insurance companies are digitalizing all of their processes, especially in home and auto claims. They WANT to inspect everything virtually, if possible. This is where XactNow can help and provide the insurance carriers everything (Xactimate estimate, measurements, sketch, photo report, ESX) they need to settle the claim without sending anyone out to inspect the damage. This is what they want … and you want! Our goal is to boost contractor profits, increase productivity, reduce approval times, and make the homeowner whole.
Some of the insurers we’ve worked with but are not limited to: State Farm, All-State, Progressive, USAA, Nationwide, Farmers, American Family, Chubb, Travelers, Erie, National General, State Auto, and Liberty Mutual.
Insurance Tip
Adjusters and insurance carriers develop a rapport with the contractors and businesses they have worked well with in the past. Adjusters love working with estimators that have a solid scope, proper documentation, and professional communication. They want to approve items quickly but need proper documentation to move things forward. The insurance company doesn’t want to argue with you. They want to work with you … if you work with them! We know how to work with them, so let us work for you!
Services
At XactNow, we write estimates from scratch using Matterport, Docusketch, Hover, Eagleview, and hand measurements. We’ve corrected and supplemented thousands of adjuster estimates that were written improperly or fell way short on the scope of work. We will write your Xactimate estimate for you and submit all documentation to the insurance company. This can be done to initiate a new claim or respond to an adjuster’s estimate that you feel is too low and/or missing necessary items. Our clients call us when they are not skilled in Xactimate preparation, too busy to write their own estimates, or stuck trying to write a complex scope. If you need an expert to assist on a claim … we can help!

Virtual Inspection Requests
Are you sick of dealing with network programs (Contractor Connection, Sedgwick, Alacrity, Crawford & Company, Lionsbridge, Accuserve, etc.) on every claim? We are very familiar with these programs and their guidelines. We can deal with their “constant” requests for revisions, so you can focus on the repairs.

Interior estimates require you to furnish a sketch of the interior. We will duplicate your drawing into an interactive Sketch in Xactimate. This will allow Xactimate to calculate the size of the rooms.
If you are doing exterior work and do not have the structural measurements, we recommend that you get an EagleView or Hover report. These reports will have most of the values needed to write your Xactimate estimate. Please order direct from Eagleview or Hover.
Bid Items

If you have completed work that is not easily represented by existing Xactimate items, then we will list them as bid items. These should be supported by invoices or receipts. We ask that you upload these documents for all bid items when you request an estimate.
Photos
Floor Plan Drawings and Exterior Reports
Our process
The best photos are those that show the whole story. The roof photos should include the entire roof and all slopes, including all accessories. The interior photos should show the entire room shape. We recommend taking an overview and then closeup of the damage. For interior rooms, we recommend taking an overview photo from all corners of the room. Insurance companies request these types of photos. Also, this gives us the opportunity to spot additional charges and complications.

Our process
1. Send us your scope information. This may include a photo report, measurements, written scope, or Matterport scans.
2. Tell us what you need included on your Xactimate estimate. If you have included an adjuster’s estimate, tell us what you want added or changed. If you do not have an adjuster’s estimate, tell us what to include. If you are unsure, we will review their scope thoroughly for costly omissions and will create a more accurate and profitable Xactimate estimate.
3. We will quickly create an Xactimate estimate and send you a draft to review. We will make all necessary adjustments to get the estimate to where it should be.
4. The final draft delivery is sent. Once payment is received, a final draft, ESX, photo report, and all applicable documents are sent.
5. If communication to the insurance carrier is needed, we will submit on your behalf and continue to keep you apprised of all communications.
