What is the difference between Claims Estimator vs Claims Adjuster?

AspectClaims EstimatorClaims Adjuster

Work EnvironmentOffice-based, working with estimates, spreadsheets, and claims dataField and office-based, inspecting damages and assessing claims
Industry UsageUsed mainly in property and casualty insurance, construction, and restorationCommon in insurance companies handling claims processing and settlement

Claims Estimators focus on calculating repair costs and preparing estimates, often working in offices or with contractors. Claims Adjusters evaluate claims, inspect damages, and determine coverage. While both roles require knowledge of insurance policies, Claims Estimators specialize in cost estimation, whereas Claims Adjusters handle the overall claims process and settlement.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Claims Estimator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Claims Estimator, you need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a background in insurance, construction, or a related field, often supported by relevant certifications. Familiarity with industry-standard estimating software such as Xactimate or Symbility, as well as knowledge of claims management systems, is typically required. Excellent communication, negotiation abilities, and customer service skills help distinguish top performers in this role. These competencies are essential for delivering accurate estimates, ensuring fair settlements, and maintaining client satisfaction throughout the claims process.

How does a Claims Estimator typically interact with adjusters and other team members during the claims process?

Claims Estimators work closely with insurance adjusters, field inspectors, and sometimes policyholders to accurately assess and document damages. Regular communication is essential, as estimators often review reports, clarify details, and reconcile differences between on-site findings and documentation. Collaboration with adjusters ensures that estimates are both accurate and aligned with policy coverage, while teamwork with other departments helps streamline claims resolution. This cooperative environment helps maintain efficiency and accuracy throughout the claims process.

What are Claims Estimators?

Claims Estimators are professionals who evaluate the cost of damages or losses for insurance claims. They assess property, vehicles, or other insured items to determine the extent of damage and estimate the necessary repair or replacement costs. Their work helps insurers decide how much to pay out for a claim and ensures that settlements are fair and accurate. Claims Estimators often collaborate with adjusters, contractors, and policyholders throughout the claims process.

Job description

About the Role


Farha Roofing is seeking an experienced, high-level Estimator to join our team. This is not a training role; we are looking for a subject matter expert who can hit the ground running. You will be responsible for managing complex commercial roof estimates, navigating Third Party Administrator (TPA) guidelines, and handling advanced supplement processes for both complex and standard residential and commercial projects.

What You Will Do

  • Precision Estimating: Develop detailed, accurate estimates using Xactimate and Symbility (Cotality) for diverse commercial and residential projects.
  • TPA/Carrier Relations: Estimation of TPA claims from initial estimate to final supplement approval. You must be comfortable advocating for accurate scope, identifying missing line items, and speaking with adjusters and TPA representatives
  • Technical Proficiency: Review measurements, and elevations for varied systems, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, metal, and high-end specialty shingles, siding, and additional trades necessary as a part of our scope of work.
  • Problem-Solving: Proactively manage supplements, troubleshoot pricing discrepancies, and investigate documentation issues to resolve "bottleneck" claims.

What We're Looking For

  • Software Mastery: Advanced, proven proficiency in Xactimate and Symbility (Cotality). You should be able to create macros, build complex estimates from scratch, and navigate software-specific hurdles.
  • Deep Commercial Experience: Extensive experience estimating various roof types. You understand the nuances of commercial systems (flat and steep-slope) and can accurately scope specialty/designer systems.
  • Detail-Oriented & Analytical: You possess a sharp eye for detail. You don't just "write" estimates; you audit them against carrier guidelines and project requirements to ensure nothing is missed.
  • Motivation & Initiative: You are a self-starter who does not need to be hand-held. You take ownership of your job numbers, follow up on pending items, and communicate clearly with Management, Project Managers, carriers, and team members
  • Communication Skills: You are skilled at writing technical arguments for supplements and have the ability to effectively communicate with adjusters, staff, and clients to move projects forward.
  • Team First Mentality: Based on the needs of the team/company, additional tasks may be assigned outside of this position description on a case by case basis
  • Availability to work outside of Mon-Fri 8-5 during storm seasons, etc as needed due to volume and capacity fluctuations.

Why Farha Roofing?

  • Opportunity to work with a growth-oriented team.
  • Fast-paced environment with a focus on professional development.
  • Collaborative culture where your expertise and initiative are valued.
