Expert Eyes.
On Every Scope.
Insurance companies, adjusters, property managers, attorneys, and building consultants call us when they need an independent technical voice on a restoration loss. We review scopes, flag errors, and give you a clear picture of what a job actually requires.
Who We Work With
We Consult For The Industry.
Restoration consulting at Cantt means helping homeowners, property managers, and business owners understand what happened to their property and what a proper restoration should look like. That guidance comes from real field experience, not a binder of generic protocols. When a loss occurs, the decisions made in the first few days shape everything that follows. We walk people through what the damage actually is, how it progresses, and what the restoration process should include so they can participate in it with confidence.
Our team has hands-on field experience with the tools, protocols, and documentation that adjusters, property managers, and large-loss coordinators work with. We are working toward formal certifications and will note them here as they are earned. What we bring today is field knowledge built across a wide range of residential and commercial losses in East Texas.
We are selective with consulting engagements. We take on work where we can bring genuine value and stand fully behind our findings. If your file fits that standard, call us.
Insurance Companies & Carriers
Independent review of contractor estimates, scope of loss verification, and technical documentation review before claim decisions are made. We give carriers an objective, field-grounded perspective on what the work actually requires.
Independent Adjusters
Scope review, field consultation, and technical advisory during active claims. We help adjusters understand what work is genuinely required and how to document it so the file holds up. Our team works with Xactimate and Cotality (formerly CoreLogic Symbility, rebranded in March 2025) so we can review your estimates directly in the formats you use.
Property Management Companies
Pre-loss consulting, contractor vetting, and scope review for multi-unit or commercial properties. We help property managers understand what work is actually warranted and what documentation they should hold on to after a loss is closed.
Attorneys & Legal Counsel
Technical review of adjuster reports and contractor estimates for coverage disputes and property damage matters. We help attorneys and their general contractors build the documentation a case requires. Our findings are grounded in field experience and documented methodology, formatted for use in legal proceedings.
Building Consultants
Restoration-specific technical input for post-event assessments and building condition reports that require field-verified restoration knowledge. We focus on what the damage is, how it behaves, and what a proper remediation or mitigation scope looks like.
Homeowners and Business Owners
Not every person who calls us needs a full restoration project. Sometimes you just need someone to walk through what happened, explain what the damage means, and help you understand what your options are. That is a conversation we are glad to have.
Good documentation pays dividends long after the job closes.

What We Review & Advise On
We Know What A Scope Should Look Like.
Across residential and commercial losses, we have learned to recognize when a scope is accurate and when it is padded, incomplete, or missing critical line items. Our team works in Xactimate and Cotality, the platforms adjusters and large-loss coordinators use every day. We review the numbers, the methodology, and the documentation, and we tell you exactly what we find. Nothing softened, nothing omitted.

- Mold remediation scope evaluation
- Fire and smoke restoration scope review

Why Cantt
Both Sides Of The Table.
Most restoration companies only know the field side. Our team includes people who have spent time on the insurance side of a claim, understanding how coverage decisions get made, what documentation carriers look for, and where scopes tend to get contested. That background shapes every consultation we take on.
Insurance-Side Background
We understand how claims are evaluated, what documentation adjusters and carriers look for, and where scopes get pushed back. That knowledge informs every review we write.
Field Experience Across Loss Types
Water, fire, mold, storm, biohazard, and contents: we have hands-on experience across every major category. Our opinions come from actual work in the field, not from textbooks alone.
Independent and Objective
When we consult, we are not trying to get the restoration job. Our purpose is to give you an accurate, defensible picture of what the documentation says and what the work actually requires. We follow ANSI/IICRC S500, S520, and S740 standards on every job.
Clear, Organized Deliverables
Written review findings, documentation notes, and recommendations formatted for adjuster, legal, or management review. We do not deliver verbal-only opinions on formal consulting engagements. Everything goes in writing.
Sometimes the damage is minimal and you might not need us. We will tell you that too.
