Commercial Restoration Estimator

RestoreCore
Alexandria, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 10/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/6/2026

Build your career with a recognized 2026 Top Workplace!


Your expertise can help families and businesses take the next step after property damage. RestoreCore is seeking an experienced Restoration Estimator who takes pride in accurate estimates, strong relationships, and helping customers move forward.


In this role, you’ll assess losses, develop detailed scopes of work, and prepare estimates that support successful restoration projects. You’ll typically handle projects valued between $50,000 and $200,000, partnering with Project Managers, Production Coordinators, Business Developers, and field technicians. 


This position does not involve third-party administrator (TPA) program work. You’ll work directly with customers, insurance adjusters, and our internal project teams to develop and negotiate restoration estimates.


Why Is RestoreCore Recognized as a 2026 Top Workplace?


Because we invest in people.


We train, mentor, and support every employee from day one. We encourage new ideas, recognize outstanding work, and create opportunities to build a career.

Every role at RestoreCore helps people recover after unexpected disasters. While you take care of our communities, we’ll take care of you with strong benefits, meaningful recognition, and a workplace that respects your life outside of work.

If that sounds like the kind of team you’re looking for, we’d love to have you join us. 


What You’ll Do


  • Visit damaged properties to assess losses and develop detailed scopes of work.
  • Prepare accurate, timely estimates using Xactimate and other platforms required by insurance carriers or third-party administrators.
  • Communicate with adjusters, explain and support your estimates, and negotiate scope and pricing.
  • Collaborate with Project Managers to review estimates, address scope changes, and support project budget and quality requirements.
  • Help customers understand the restoration process and explain emergency service agreements.
  • Maintain accurate project updates, estimates, photos, and supporting documentation in DASH.
  • Build relationships with customers, referral sources, and industry partners.
  • Participate in production meetings and training, and mentor developing estimators.
  • Support the on-call rotation and emergency response efforts as assigned.


What You Bring


  • Experience estimating property damage restoration projects.
  • Working knowledge of construction methods, materials, and repair processes.
  • Proficiency with Xactimate and familiarity with other estimating platforms.
  • Knowledge of insurance carrier and third-party administrator requirements.
  • Confidence communicating and negotiating with adjusters.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple estimates and deadlines.
  • A collaborative approach and clear, professional communication with customers and teammates.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Outlook; DASH experience is a plus.


Schedule and Work Environment


This role combines remote office work with site visits. Because disasters can happen at any time, participation in an on-call rotation, after-hours commercial loss response, and extended hours may be required. During major emergency events, you may also deploy with field crews.

Jobsite work may involve bending, stooping, reaching, and exposure to extreme temperatures. The position requires regularly lifting, pushing, or moving up to 50 pounds and occasionally up to 75 pounds. Respirator use and fit testing may be required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions.


Bring Your Expertise. Build Your Future.


Join a team that values your work, supports your growth, and makes a difference when people need it most. 


Employment with RestoreCore is contingent upon successful completion of a motor vehicle record review, background check, and drug screening.
