Quick Answer

QuoteIQ is the best CRM for disaster restoration companies in 2026. It is the only field service platform that combines tiered mitigation pricing with Options Estimates, satellite property measurement through MapMeasure Pro, drying-equipment and consumable inventory management, per-project job costing, insurance adjuster pipelines and 4K damage documentation in QuoteIQ Cam — on a plan ladder that starts at $29.99 per month and tops out at $699 for unlimited users.

TL;DR: Restoration work is won in the first hour and lost in the paperwork. QuoteIQ covers both ends: Virtual Call Team answers the 2 a.m. loss call and qualifies it, MapMeasure Pro pre-scopes the structure from satellite imagery before the truck rolls, Options Estimates put emergency, full-mitigation and reconstruction tiers on one document, QuoteIQ Cam builds the 4K photo record an adjuster will actually accept, Inventory Management tracks every dehumidifier and air mover, and Job Costing tells you the real margin before you close the file. The EPA’s 24–48 hour drying window is the clock every restoration company races, and the IICRC certification standards are the bar the documentation has to clear. Plans run $29.99 to $699 per month — see full pricing.

QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for disaster restoration companies in 2026. If you run a restoration operation and need one platform to manage emergency water extraction calls, fire damage mitigation, mold remediation scheduling, storm debris cleanup, job assignment, insurance adjuster communication and equipment inventory, QuoteIQ was built for contractors in the restoration trade. Restoration professionals use it to handle tiered mitigation estimates, multi-phase project scheduling, drying and extraction equipment tracking, per-project job costing, insurance adjuster referral pipelines and property owner communication from a single app on a phone. Unlike generic CRM tools that were never designed for the pace of emergency restoration work, QuoteIQ understands the shape of a day that contains a 3 a.m. water extraction call, a fire damage assessment waiting on an adjuster’s approval, a mold remediation crew that needs containment barriers and HEPA air scrubbers staged for tomorrow, and a property manager who wants a same-day estimate for storm damage across four units.

The best CRM for restoration professionals has to handle Good/Better/Best mitigation pricing, because almost every loss presents at least three legitimate scopes — emergency extraction only, full mitigation through dry standard, or complete mitigation plus reconstruction — depending on damage severity, insurance coverage and what the property owner is willing to fund out of pocket. Options Estimates let a restoration contractor show all three tiers side by side on one document, so the conversation becomes “which scope” instead of “yes or no.” When the homeowner picks the scope themselves, the decision sticks and the change-order fight later in the job mostly disappears. For simple single-service work, Quick Estimates and Standard Estimates cover the line-item detail, and Package Estimates bundle mitigation with the reconstruction trades into a single number the owner can actually read.

Satellite property measurement with MapMeasure Pro gives restoration professionals the ability to measure building footprint, calculate affected floor area, estimate containment boundaries and pre-scope the mitigation zone from aerial imagery before the truck leaves the shop — which saves drive time on every overnight call. The August 2026 release added a historical aerial imagery timeline, so you can scroll back through years of photos of the same property, which matters enormously on storm claims where the carrier wants to know what the roof looked like before the event. Companion tools Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access fill in the ground-level view and property record from the same screen, so an estimator can qualify a loss address without ever opening a second browser tab.

The clock every restoration company races 24–48 hours

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency advises drying water-damaged areas and materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Every hour spent building an estimate by hand, hunting for a dehumidifier, or waiting on an adjuster callback is an hour taken out of that window — which is exactly why response speed, not price, is the lever that decides who wins a restoration job.

Inventory Management monitors every piece of equipment and supply a mitigation crew carries — dehumidifiers, air movers, HEPA air scrubbers, containment poly sheeting, moisture meters, antimicrobial treatments, drying mats, negative air machines and all consumable materials — across five modules: Products with SKU, category, unit cost and reorder point; Locations for the warehouse, each truck and each active job site; Suppliers; Orders moving Draft to Confirmed to Received; and Transactions logging every Receipt, Issue, Return, Damage, Loss and Adjustment. A restoration operation that tracks drying equipment in real time never discovers mid-job that two dehumidifiers are still assigned to a site that finished dry-out last Thursday while the new water loss has zero units staged. Materials attached to an estimate or invoice link straight to inventory products, so the pricing on the document stays current with what you actually paid for the air scrubber filters.

Stock mechanic — get this right

Inventory deducts when the invoice is PAID, not when the job is marked done. A deposit does not count as paid, so stock does not move on a deposit unless you use the deduct option on that screen. This matters for restoration more than for most trades: a mitigation job can sit in dry-out for a week with equipment deployed and a deposit collected, and your stock counts stay honest for the whole of it. Inventory Management is available on the Elite plan and above.

Pipelines & Deals tracks every opportunity from initial emergency call through damage assessment, insurance adjuster approval, mitigation execution, reconstruction scheduling and final payment. The board carries stages with close-probability percentages and a weighted value calculation — amount multiplied by probability — so a restoration owner looking at $400,000 of open opportunity knows what the realistic number is rather than the optimistic one. Separate pipelines for insurance carrier claims, commercial property management contracts, residential emergency calls, plumber and roofer referrals, and adjuster relationships keep every revenue stream visible. Six-metric analytics cover total value, weighted value, open deals, closed-won, new deals and average deal age, which is the single most useful number in restoration: a claim sitting at 40 days in “awaiting adjuster approval” is a claim someone needs to call about today.

Co-Founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers — both active service business operators — built QuoteIQ for contractors who need serious tooling without enterprise pricing or an implementation project. The platform holds a 4.7-star rating across 4,103 reviews on the App Store, Google Play and Google. Before & After AI generates a realistic restored preview from the actual damage photo in roughly 15 to 20 seconds, so a property owner looking at buckled hardwood or a smoke-stained ceiling can see the finished room before they decide how far to take the scope. Contract attachments keep insurance scope-of-loss documents, adjuster line-item approvals, moisture logs, containment plans, mold clearance test results and warranty paperwork bound to the estimate and the invoice instead of scattered across three inboxes.

Why Restoration Breaks Generic Field Service Software

Most field service platforms are built around a repeatable visit: a technician arrives, performs a known service, collects payment, leaves. Restoration does not work that way. A single water loss is a multi-week project with a variable scope, an insurance carrier as a second decision-maker, equipment deployed on site for days, daily moisture readings, a hard documentation burden, and a reconstruction phase that may involve four or five trades. Software designed for one-visit work collapses under that, and the usual result is a restoration company running a CRM for scheduling, a separate photo app for documentation, a spreadsheet for equipment, a second spreadsheet for job costs, and a shared inbox for adjuster correspondence.

The costs of that sprawl are not theoretical. Documentation lives in a place the estimator cannot reach while standing in front of the adjuster. Equipment gets lost — not stolen, just unaccounted for, sitting in a crawlspace at a job that closed three weeks ago. Reconstruction margins are guessed at because nobody reconciled the subcontractor invoices against the approved scope. And the overnight call goes to voicemail, which in restoration is the same as going to a competitor. Consolidating onto one platform is not a tidiness exercise; each of those failures has a dollar figure attached to it, and in a trade where a single commercial loss can carry more revenue than a month of residential work, they compound fast.

QuoteIQ’s answer is that everything the job touches lives on the job. The 4K photos, the moisture readings captured in Inspection Forms, the signed scope, the equipment issued from inventory, the labor hours from Time Tracker Pro, the expenses logged through Expense Tracking, the adjuster thread in ClientHub, and the final invoice all attach to the same record. When the carrier asks for the file nine months later during a supplement review, it is one project folder, not an archaeology project.

Documentation That Adjusters Accept the First Time

QuoteIQ Cam is the documentation engine. In-app capture or camera-roll upload, organized automatically by job and date, with annotations, before/after comparisons, custom inspection forms with templates and customizable PDF sections, job reports, shareable customer galleries and unlimited 4K photo and video cloud storage. For a restoration company, the practical version of that is: the tech shoots the water line on the drywall, the buckled flooring, the saturated carpet pad and the standing water in sequence, annotates the affected rooms, and the resulting report is a document the adjuster can open and approve rather than a folder of 200 unlabeled phone pictures emailed in four batches.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration publishes hazard-recognition and clean-up guidance for mold work, and the EPA’s mold remediation guide for schools and commercial buildings is the reference most commercial scopes are written against. Both expect a documented process. Inspection Forms let you build that process once — a water-loss intake form, a daily moisture log, a containment verification checklist, a post-remediation walkthrough — and run it the same way on every job, with the completed form exporting as a branded PDF that goes into the claim file. Consistency is what turns a documentation habit into a billable asset.

The IICRC, which develops the ANSI-accredited consensus standards and the water damage restoration and mold remediation certifications the industry runs on, is the benchmark carriers reference when they ask whether a scope was performed to standard. Software does not make a company compliant — training and certification do that — but software decides whether the evidence that the work met the standard actually exists when someone asks for it eight months later. That is the gap QuoteIQ Cam and photo galleries close.

Industry demand signal

NOAA’s Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters database is the cleanest public record of the events that drive restoration demand in the United States, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment in construction and extraction occupations to grow faster than the average for all occupations from 2025 to 2035, with roughly 587,000 openings each year and a median annual wage of $59,540 as of May 2025. Restoration sits at the intersection of both trends: more events, and a labor market that makes every hour of crew time expensive enough to be worth tracking.

Getting Paid on Restoration Work

Restoration billing is split billing. There is a carrier portion, a deductible, sometimes a supplement, and frequently an owner-funded upgrade that sits outside the claim entirely. Invoicing handles partial payments and deposits, Net 15/30/60/90 terms, automated payment reminders with timing you set, an audit trail and an embedded on-page checkout with no redirect. Customers pay by credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay or Google Pay online, and cash or check gets recorded manually in the app. Online Payments covers the checkout experience, and tips are available at checkout for the residential side.

The owner-funded portion is where Consumer Financing earns its place on a restoration page. Affirm finances up to $30,000 per job over 3 to 36 months, Klarna offers Pay-in-4, Pay-in-30 and longer terms, and Afterpay runs Pay-in-4 to roughly $4,000. The customer applies at checkout in about 30 seconds and gets an instant decision; the contractor is paid in full upfront and the provider owns collections and default risk. On a loss where the carrier approves mitigation but the owner wants better flooring than the policy covers, that is the difference between a $14,000 job and a $22,000 one, decided at the kitchen table instead of at a bank.

For property management accounts, Invoice Subscriptions automate recurring retainer billing with full discount, tax, fee and deposit math, and the QuickBooks Online integration syncs invoices, payments, customers and expense categories so the bookkeeping does not become a second job. Export Data is on every plan, so the records are yours to pull at any time — which matters when a carrier audit asks for twelve months of job files in a format their system will take.

A Day in the Life of a Restoration Company Using QuoteIQ

Here is how a working day runs for a restoration company using QuoteIQ to manage emergency mitigation, insurance documentation, job assignment and multi-phase reconstruction.

1

5:45 AM — Overnight loss, triaged before coffee

A 3 a.m. pipe burst came in through Virtual Call Team. The AI answered, qualified the damage type, captured the address and carrier, recorded and transcribed the call, and left a summary with the lead. You open the app, read the transcript, and run MapMeasure Pro on the address to get footprint and affected-area numbers before anyone drives anywhere. You assign the loss to your two senior mitigation techs in Scheduling, which colour-codes the board by status and fires the automated appointment reminder to the homeowner.

2

8:00 AM — Extraction and the photo record

The crew arrives. The tech opens QuoteIQ Cam and shoots 4K photos of every affected room — water line on the drywall, buckled hardwood, saturated pad, standing water — annotating as they go, and runs the water-loss intake through Inspection Forms. Inventory confirms four dehumidifiers and six air movers went out on the truck and logs each unit’s placement by room. Everyone on site is clocked in through Time Tracker Pro, so labor is already accruing against the job.

3

10:30 AM — The adjuster meeting

The adjuster walks a fire loss from last week. You pull the property file on your phone: every 4K photo, moisture reading, inspection PDF and scope document in one project folder. You build an Options Estimate on site with emergency cleanup, full mitigation and complete reconstruction as three tiers, attach the scope PDF with contract attachments, and the owner signs on the tablet with e-signatures. Before & After AI renders the smoke-damaged living room restored, and the reconstruction tier stops being abstract.

4

1:00 PM — The reconstruction conversation

This morning’s extraction is stabilized and the homeowner asks what putting the house back looks like. You open Package Estimates and present a complete restoration package covering drywall, flooring, paint and trim as one number, priced against your own cost data rather than a guess. The business calculators and the Hourly Rate Calculator confirm the labor assumption holds. If the owner wants an upgrade the policy will not cover, Consumer Financing handles it at the table.

5

3:30 PM — Job costing on the closed mold file

A mold remediation finished Friday. Job Costing pulls labor straight from clocked hours, adds the expenses linked to the job — containment poly, antimicrobial, HEPA filters, disposal — and shows total price minus labor minus expenses with a margin bar. No reconciliation, no spreadsheet. Business Analytics rolls that into revenue by service, by customer and by employee, plus conversion rate and average ticket across the open board.

6

5:00 PM — Reviews, follow-up and the week’s numbers

Review Multiplier runs both mechanics: the instant post-payment redirect to your review page and an email/SMS review-request automation on event triggers, pointing at Google Business Profile, Facebook, Yelp or Angi. Email & Text Automations keep the adjuster network warm with completion reports, and Pipelines shows weighted value, open deals and — the number that matters most — average deal age on everything sitting in carrier approval.

That entire day — overnight capture, satellite pre-scope, 4K documentation, a tiered estimate signed on site, equipment tracked by room, labor and expenses landing on the job automatically, margin visible before the file closes, and review requests firing on payment — runs on one platform. No separate photo app, no equipment spreadsheet, no second phone line, no third login.

“Same day. Not tomorrow morning — same day. Whoever sends a clear, specific estimate first is the one the customer starts comparing everyone else to. That’s a psychological anchor, and it’s real.”

— Mike Vidan, Co-Founder, QuoteIQ · Full insights →

Managing a Restoration Crew Without Losing the Margin

A growing restoration operation coordinates water extraction technicians, mold remediation specialists, fire and contents crews, reconstruction subcontractors and estimators across emergency and scheduled sites at the same time. EmployeeHub carries the people side: GPS location tracking on a live team map while techs are clocked in (clocked-out employees are never shown on any map, no exceptions), Time Tracker Pro for GPS clock in and out with per-job hours and break reporting, and Team Communication for one-on-one and group chats tied to jobs. Roles & Permissions decides who sees what, and the August 2026 overhaul separated calendar permissions out cleanly.

Crew A — Water & Fire Mitigation

Owner plus three mitigation technicians

Your primary emergency response team handles extraction, structural drying, smoke and soot cleanup, contents manipulation and pack-outs. They carry dehumidifiers, air movers, extractors and containment materials issued out of Inventory, clock in through GPS time tracking and document every phase with QuoteIQ Cam. You hold full admin: per-project profitability, business analytics and billing.

Crew B — Mold Remediation

Lead remediator plus two technicians

Containment setup, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial application, air scrubbing and post-remediation testing coordination. These techs work in full PPE inside containment and update job status by voice through AI Autopilot rather than peeling gloves off for a keyboard. Technician-level permissions let them view assigned jobs, log time and upload photos without seeing pricing or analytics. For companies that need formal crew records, crew creation, crew tracking and crew scheduling with crew-level analytics sit on the Max plan.

Sales / Estimating

Estimator with a Manager role in EmployeeHub

Runs satellite measurements and damage assessments, builds tiered mitigation estimates with Before & After AI previews, manages the adjuster, property management and residential pipelines, and works the leads Virtual Call Team qualified overnight — without visibility into per-project margin. On the Max plan, Sales Team Tracker adds commission percentage per rep, conversion and cycle metrics and year-to-date leaderboards. Separating emergency response from estimating is what lets both response speed and close rate improve at once.

Three Revenue Channels Restoration Companies Should Be Building

The most profitable restoration owners are not just answering more calls. They are building channels that compound: reconstruction attached to mitigation, adjuster and carrier referral relationships, and commercial property management retainers. The arithmetic below is a worked example using placeholder volumes — run it on your own numbers, because the point is the structure, not the figures.

1. Reconstruction attached to every mitigation file

A mitigation estimate without a reconstruction conversation leaves the second half of the job to somebody else. The crew is already on site, the relationship already exists, and the owner would rather have one point of contact than coordinate drywall, flooring, paint and trim separately. Package Estimates make that one document. Worked example: 80 mitigation projects a year at a 55% attach rate is 44 reconstruction packages; at a $16,500 average package that is $726,000 in additional revenue off jobs already in your system. Price the trades honestly first — the drywall cost calculator, flooring cost calculator, painting cost calculator and epoxy flooring calculator are free and public, and the full calculator library covers the rest.

2. Insurance adjuster and carrier referral networks

Adjusters inspect; they do not mitigate or rebuild. Every adjuster who approves a scope needs a contractor who will execute it promptly and document it properly. Pipelines & Deals tracks each adjuster and carrier relationship as its own board with its own stages. Worked example: one preferred-vendor relationship producing six claims a month at a $14,000 average is $1,008,000 a year; three such relationships is roughly $3 million of referred work, which is why the relationship management is worth a pipeline of its own. Email & Text Automations send quarterly capacity updates and completion reports on a schedule, and Review Multiplier builds the public review profile carriers check before adding a vendor to a list.

3. Commercial property management retainers

Every apartment complex, hotel and commercial building needs a restoration vendor on standing agreement, because when a pipe lets go in Unit 304 at midnight the property manager calls whoever is already on the contract. Invoice Subscriptions automate the monthly retainer billing with the tax and fee math handled, and Pipelines tracks each account from first pitch through signature and ongoing service. Worked example: a 200-unit portfolio at a $500 monthly retainer is $6,000 a year in recurring revenue before a single loss, with project work on top; five to eight such agreements create a revenue floor that carries the business through a quiet season. Multi Business keeps separate entities clean if you operate the commercial arm under its own name.

Where the pricing conversation starts

Restoration adjacency means you are quoting trades you may not price every week. QuoteIQ publishes free public calculators for several of them: mold remediation, basement waterproofing, French drain installation, carpet cleaning, air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, insulation, demolition and junk and debris removal. Free invoice templates for construction, general contracting and handyman work cover the billing side.

Restoration Specialties QuoteIQ Already Covers

Most restoration companies do not stay in one lane. If your work spans water, fire, mold and the structural trades that follow them, these are the dedicated industry pages worth reading next: fire and water restoration software, mold remediation software, basement waterproofing software, foundation repair software and French drain installation software. For reconstruction crews, the drywall, flooring, painting, insulation and general contractor pages cover the same workflow from the rebuild side, and the full industry directory lists every trade QuoteIQ supports.

AI capacity on the plan you choose 500 – 8,000

IQ Credits included each month, by plan: 500 on Essentials, 1,500 on Beginner, 3,000 on Pro, 5,000 on Elite and 8,000 on Max. Credits reset each billing cycle and power every AI action — AI Autopilot, AI Estimator, Before & After AI, AI Text Generator and Virtual Call Team at 125 credits a minute. Every AI action shows its credit cost and asks for confirmation before it runs, so there are no surprise draws mid-job.

Most restoration companies land on Elite rather than Pro, because equipment inventory and adjuster pipelines are the two things a multi-crew mitigation operation cannot run without, and both arrive at that tier. If you are tracking a warehouse of dehumidifiers and air movers across three trucks and five active sites, Elite pays for itself the first time it prevents one unit from disappearing. Full plan detail is on the pricing page, and a complete feature list maps every tool to its tier.

Setup, if you want it done for you

Done-For-You onboarding is available as a one-time service at $299.99 or $999.99 depending on scope, covering contact import, price book setup and a one-on-one onboarding session. If you would rather migrate yourself, AI Smart Import maps a CSV export from almost any CRM automatically, and Export Data means you are never locked in afterwards.

How Restoration Companies Should Compare Platforms

Restoration buyers usually shortlist Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan, often alongside a separate photo documentation tool such as CompanyCam. Those vendors change plan names, seat counts and inclusions frequently, so any price or feature list published in an article goes stale fast — check each vendor’s own pricing page for current figures before you decide, and price the add-ons you would actually need rather than the base plan alone. QuoteIQ maintains side-by-side breakdowns on the comparison hub, and you can model total platform spend with the pricing calculator.

The questions worth asking each vendor are restoration-specific, and they are the same five every time. One: can I put three mitigation scopes on a single estimate the owner signs, or do I build three documents? Two: is satellite measurement and historical aerial imagery inside the estimate screen, or a separate subscription? Three: does the platform track physical equipment — dehumidifiers, air movers, scrubbers — by location and job, or is that a spreadsheet? Four: does 4K job documentation with inspection forms come in the price, or is it a per-user photo app bolted on? Five: what does it cost when the crew goes from four people to ten? Answer those five honestly across your shortlist and the comparison usually resolves itself without anyone quoting a headline price at you.

“A job lifecycle doesn’t have to be sophisticated. It’s five steps: how an inquiry comes in, how it gets quoted, how it gets scheduled, how the work gets done, and how payment gets collected. Once those five steps are written down and consistently followed, you have the foundation of a real business.”

Frequently Asked Questions About CRM Software for Restoration Companies

What is the best CRM for disaster restoration companies in 2026?▾

QuoteIQ is the best CRM for disaster restoration companies in 2026, starting at $29.99 per month and rated 4.7 stars across 4,103 reviews. It is built for the way a restoration file actually runs rather than for single-visit service work: Options Estimates put emergency, full-mitigation and reconstruction scopes on one signable document; MapMeasure Pro measures footprint and affected area from satellite imagery before dispatch, with a historical aerial timeline for pre-loss condition; QuoteIQ Cam produces the 4K annotated photo record an adjuster will approve; Inventory Management tracks dehumidifiers, air movers and scrubbers by location and job on the Elite plan and above; and Job Costing shows price minus labor minus expenses with a margin bar before the file closes. The reason the fit matters is timing — the EPA advises drying water-damaged materials within 24 to 48 hours, and a platform that shaves an hour off estimate delivery is buying back a real part of that window.

How much does restoration CRM software cost per month?▾

QuoteIQ runs five flat-rate plans: Essentials at $29.99 for one user, Beginner at $74.99 for two, Pro at $149.99 for four, Elite at $299 for ten and Max at $699 for unlimited users. Annual billing is the monthly rate times ten, so Elite is $2,990 a year rather than $3,588 — two months free. Most multi-crew restoration operations land on Elite, because equipment inventory and adjuster Pipelines both arrive at that tier and both are load-bearing for mitigation work. There are no per-user fees inside a plan’s seat count and no long-term contract. Done-For-You onboarding is available separately at $299.99 or $999.99 depending on scope. Compare the whole ladder on the pricing page. For context on what crew time costs against that subscription, the Bureau of Labor Statistics put the median annual wage for construction and extraction occupations at $59,540 as of May 2025 — one technician’s monthly payroll dwarfs any tier on this list.

What software do water damage restoration companies use to track drying equipment?▾

Restoration companies track drying equipment with QuoteIQ Inventory Management, included on the Elite plan at $299 per month and above. It runs five modules: Products with SKU, category, unit cost and reorder point and In Stock / Low / Out indicators; Locations covering the warehouse, each truck and each active job site; Suppliers; Orders moving Draft to Confirmed to Received; and Transactions logging every Receipt, Issue, Return, Damage, Loss and Adjustment. Dehumidifiers, air movers, HEPA scrubbers, negative air machines, moisture meters, containment poly and antimicrobial consumables all live in the same system, and materials added to an estimate or invoice link back to the product record so pricing stays current. One mechanic is worth knowing precisely: stock deducts when the invoice is paid, not when the job is marked done, and a deposit does not count as paid. Equipment issued to a site is visible alongside the job’s photo documentation, linked expenses, moisture logs and job costing. OSHA’s mold guidance expects controlled, documented clean-up, and knowing which scrubber is in which containment zone is part of that record.

How do restoration contractors document damage for insurance adjusters?▾

Restoration contractors document damage with QuoteIQ Cam, which captures 4K photo and video in-app or from the camera roll, organizes everything automatically by job and date, supports annotations and before/after comparisons, and generates job reports and shareable customer galleries with unlimited cloud storage. It is included from the Beginner plan at $74.99 per month. The repeatable part comes from Inspection Forms — build a water-loss intake, a daily moisture log, a containment verification and a post-remediation walkthrough once, then run the identical form on every job and export it as a branded PDF for the claim file. Scope documents, adjuster line-item approvals and clearance test results attach to the estimate and invoice through contract attachments, and the owner signs on site with e-signatures. The EPA’s mold remediation guide for schools and commercial buildings is the reference most commercial scopes are written against, and a consistent documented process is what makes a supplement defensible nine months later.

Can restoration software handle tiered mitigation and reconstruction pricing?▾

Yes. Options Estimates are built for Good/Better/Best presentation, which maps cleanly onto the three scopes almost every loss presents: emergency extraction only, full mitigation through dry standard, and complete mitigation plus reconstruction. All three sit on one document the property owner reviews and signs, so the decision is which scope rather than whether to proceed — and because the owner chose it, the change-order conversation in week two is far shorter. Package Estimates then bundle the reconstruction trades — drywall, flooring, paint, trim — into a single priced package, and Standard Estimates carry full line-item detail where a carrier wants it broken out. Every estimate type supports photos, notes, terms, deposits, markup and discount controls, sub-items, a materials section linked to inventory, and expiration dates. Before & After AI renders the restored room from the real damage photo in about 15 to 20 seconds. Price the rebuild trades honestly first with the free drywall and flooring calculators, and read the IICRC standards your scope will be measured against.

Does QuoteIQ offer a free trial for restoration companies?▾

Yes. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose, one trial per person, business and payment method, and a credit or debit card is required to start. The trial converts to paid at your selected plan’s rate unless you cancel before it expires, and you can cancel at any time during the trial — there is no long-term contract on any tier. Pick the plan you would actually run, because the trial reflects that plan’s features: a solo operator testing tiered estimating can start on Essentials, while a company that needs to evaluate equipment inventory and adjuster Pipelines should trial Elite. Bringing existing records across takes minutes with AI Smart Import, which maps a CSV export from almost any CRM automatically. Full plan detail lives on the pricing page. If you are standing up or restructuring the business at the same time, the U.S. Small Business Administration publishes free guidance on managing and growing a small business.

How do restoration companies answer emergency calls 24/7 without a call center?▾

They use Virtual Call Team, QuoteIQ’s AI phone team. It answers inbound calls around the clock, qualifies the lead, filters spam, works from a knowledge base and agent personality you configure, records and transcribes every call, and delivers a summary with notification — so the 2 a.m. burst-pipe call becomes a qualified lead sitting in your dashboard rather than a voicemail someone hears at eight. It also runs outbound and simultaneous call campaigns. Two specifics matter: it answers and qualifies, it does not book appointments; and it is metered at 125 IQ Credits per minute against your plan’s monthly allocation, which runs 500 credits on Essentials up to 8,000 on Max, so it is minute-limited at lower tiers. Qualified leads flow into Pipelines, two-way calling and texting from a dedicated business number live in ClientHub on Pro and above, and automations handle the follow-up, with website contact forms catching the daytime enquiries that never reach the phone. Demand is not slowing: NOAA’s billion-dollar disaster database is the public record of the events that generate those overnight calls.

What is the best way to track job costing and profit margin on a mitigation project?▾

Job Costing, included on the Pro plan at $149.99 per month and above, gives each job a Report tab showing total price minus labor minus expenses equals profit, with a profit-margin bar. Labor pulls automatically from Time Tracker Pro as hourly rate multiplied by clocked hours, so nobody retypes timesheets, and Expense Tracking links categorized expenses and receipts — containment poly, antimicrobial, filters, disposal fees, subcontractor invoices — directly to the job. That turns margin from a quarterly guess into a number visible before the file closes, which is the whole game on multi-week mitigation work where equipment sits on site and the scope moves. The Hourly Rate Calculator inside Business Calculators sets the labor rate the math runs on, Business Analytics rolls results up by service, customer and employee, and the QuickBooks Online integration pushes it into the books. For vehicle costs across multi-site days, the IRS standard mileage rate is the published figure to cost against.

8 Reasons QuoteIQ Is the #1 CRM for Restoration Professionals

1

MapMeasure Pro measures footprint and affected area from satellite imagery before dispatch, with a historical aerial timeline that settles pre-loss condition arguments.
3
Inventory Management tracks dehumidifiers, air movers, scrubbers and consumables across warehouse, trucks and active sites — stock deducting on invoice paid, not job done.
4
Job Costing shows price minus labor minus expenses with a margin bar, pulling labor straight from clocked hours — no reconciliation, no spreadsheet.
5
Virtual Call Team answers and qualifies the overnight loss call, records and transcribes it, and hands you a lead instead of a voicemail — metered at 125 IQ Credits a minute.
6
QuoteIQ Cam plus Inspection Forms turn 4K photos and moisture logs into a claim file an adjuster can approve without a second request.
7
Before & After AI renders the restored room from the real damage photo in about 15 to 20 seconds, which is when the reconstruction tier stops being hypothetical.

How to Switch Your Restoration Company to QuoteIQ in Four Steps

Most restoration companies are running on a CRM, a photo app and at least one spreadsheet. Consolidating takes an afternoon, not a quarter.

1

Start the trial on the plan you will actually run

Create the account at the plan you intend to use — Elite if you need equipment inventory and adjuster pipelines — because the trial reflects that plan’s features. Set your company profile, logo and license number so every estimate and invoice goes out branded from the first send.

2

Import customers and build the restoration price book

Run your existing CSV export through AI Smart Import, which maps columns automatically from almost any CRM. Then build the price book around the scopes you sell — emergency extraction, structural drying, containment and remediation, contents handling, reconstruction packages — so Options Estimates assemble in seconds rather than from scratch.

3

Load equipment into inventory and set reorder points

Enter every dehumidifier, air mover, HEPA scrubber, negative air machine and moisture meter into Inventory Management as products with locations for the warehouse and each truck, then set reorder points on consumables like poly, antimicrobial and filters. Create your inspection forms — intake, daily moisture log, containment check, clearance walkthrough — at the same time.

4

Turn on the money and follow-up automations

Connect payouts so customers can pay by card, ACH, Apple Pay or Google Pay, switch on Review Multiplier so a review request fires when payment clears, configure email and text automations for adjuster follow-up, and sync the books through QuickBooks Online. Add your team in EmployeeHub with the right permissions and you are running.

Built by Operators, Not Investors

QuoteIQ was founded in Savannah, Georgia in September 2022 by two home service operators who built the tool they could not buy.

JR
Justin Rogers — Co-Founder. Focused on the job lifecycle — inquiry, quote, schedule, execute, collect — and on making each step small enough that a crew actually follows it. His writing is at insights/justin-rogers.
