A good Insurance Restoration contractor will walk a damaged job site and write a good complete scope of work. The price is not of major concern at this point and should not be anything that concerns the insured. The unit pricing that is applied to a good scope of work is what we call Xactimate unit pricing which is the insurance standardized pricing for a particular area. These are prices the insurance companies agree are correct for a given area.
Unscrupulous contracting companies will write a comparative scope but leave out items or cut short quanitise so that there price seems lower and they can sell the job on lower price. All good jobs start with good scopes of work. Th unscrupulous contractors will start low and change order the job.
We at Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling start with a good complete scope of work. The pricing falls in when Xactimate is applied and the pricing is submitted to the insurance company. As the insured you should concentrate on selecting the best contractor for the job. Unit pricing is what the insurance companies negotiate with the contractors. If Xactimate is applied there is nothing to negotiate at that point.
As the inured you need to focus on scope not price!
