$99 Estimate Check. Remote, file-based.
Understand your repair estimate and know what to ask next
We read one insurance estimate and explain what it includes, what is worth clarifying, and the questions it supports.
Request only. The $99 Estimate Check covers one insurance estimate and is a manual service. We confirm scope, fee, and timing before accepting a request. Nothing is billed on this site.
What you get
Clarity you can use yourself
What is included
A plain-English read of the work, quantities, and allowances the estimate already lists, with the page each came from.
What is worth clarifying
Items the estimate does not explain. Something not shown is a question to ask, not proof a repair is needed.
What to ask next
Written questions and phone talking points you can use with your adjuster. You stay the one communicating.
Personal review
Aaron Dickson personally reviews every Estimate Check before it is released. It is not an automatic report.
The Estimate Check is not public adjuster representation, legal advice, a coverage decision, or a repair bid. It does not promise any payment.

Fictional example
Included, clarify, or correct
Each item points to the page and line it came from. Some items are simply confirmed as already included.
- Already included
Baseboard in the hall
Fictional estimate, page 3, line 14
The line reads remove and replace baseboard, 32 LF. Putting the baseboard back is already part of this line, so there is nothing to ask here.
- Worth clarifying
Drying equipment days
Fictional estimate, page 4, lines 22 and 23
Air movers and a dehumidifier are listed for 3 days. No moisture readings were in the file. That absence is not proof the drying was short; it only means the readings are worth asking for.
Question to ask: “Can you share the moisture readings used to set the equipment days?”
- Worth clarifying
Kitchen flooring
Fictional estimate, page 3, line 18
Laminate is replaced in the kitchen only, 168 SF. The estimate does not say how flooring that continues into the hall is handled. This is a question, not a conclusion.
Question to ask: “How does the estimate handle the flooring where it continues into the hall?”
Fictional example. Not a customer file or result. Page and line references point to an invented estimate. No payment outcome is implied.
