Professional Property Loss Consulting in Los Angeles

Independent Estimates and Insurance Scope Reviews for Homeowners in Los Angeles

After water, fire or mold damage, the insurance company sends its own estimate. Most homeowners can’t tell if it covers everything the job really needs, and missing lines are common.

FastFix Restoration offers property loss consulting for homeowners across Los Angeles. We inspect and document the damage, write an independent estimate in Xactimate, the same software insurance adjusters use, and review the insurance company’s scope line by line. You get a clear report that shows what is missing and why, with the readings and photos behind each item.

Why FastFix Is a Trusted Property Loss Consultant in Los Angeles

01

Xactimate estimates, 15 years of restoration

We write restoration estimates every day in Xactimate, the same software insurance adjusters use. Our estimates come from real jobs: water mitigation, mold remediation, fire and smoke cleaning, and repairs.
02

Documented, line-by-line reports

Every item in our review is backed by moisture readings, a moisture map, thermal images, photos, and the IICRC standards: S500 for water damage and S520 for mold.
03

Clear answers for homeowners

We explain the results in plain words, so you know what the insurance estimate covers and what it leaves out. You decide what to send to your adjuster.

Top Questions About Property Loss Consulting in Los Angeles

Most frequent questions and answers

An independent look at your damage and your insurance estimate. We inspect and document the damage, write our own estimate, and review the insurance company’s scope line by line.

Not always. It helps when the insurance estimate seems low, leaves out drying, mold work or contents, or when the loss is large or complicated.

Water, fire, smoke, mold and structural damage in homes.

No. We give you a documented estimate and review. Negotiating or representing you on a claim is the work of a licensed public adjuster or an attorney, and you can share our report with them.

We work across Los Angeles and can usually schedule an inspection within 24 to 48 hours. Call or text (818) 717-7431.

We don’t negotiate your claim or represent you with your insurance company. In California, that is the work of a licensed public adjuster or an attorney. If your claim needs representation, we’ll tell you, and you can share our estimate and documentation with them. Your carrier decides what is covered.

Our property loss consulting includes:

  • Damage inspection and documentation
  • Moisture map and readings
  • Independent repair and mitigation estimate in Xactimate
  • Line-by-line review of the insurance estimate
  • Written report of missing or short items
  • Water, fire, smoke and mold damage
Because we do water, fire, smoke and mold restoration ourselves, we know what each job really takes: the drying days, the monitoring visits, the containment, the cleaning behind the walls, and the repairs. That is what we look for when we review an insurance estimate.
We meet with you at the property and document the damage. This may include:
  • Water intrusion and how far it traveled
  • Fire and smoke damage
  • Structural damage
  • Mold growth, if present

Common things we find missing from insurance estimates: equipment days without setup and monitoring, air scrubbers without HEPA filters, drywall removed with no insulation or antimicrobial behind it, flooring removed with no baseboard or pad, no contents moving, lines left at $0.00, and no overhead and profit on a multi-trade job.
