See why contractors choose Handoff over Xactimate

Xactimate does not offer AI estimation, unlike Handoff, which speeds up the process with advanced technology backed by local, real-time construction databases.

Xactimate is primarily for Insurance Adjusters, Public Adjusters, Restoration Companies, and General Contractors working with insurance claim settlements. However, those professions may actually have a more positive experience using Handoff for the same purpose.

What our clients are saying

Forward-thinking teams use Handoff to move faster, protect margins, and scale without over-hiring.

I have already told someone about the software. I feel as more updates are added it is going to be an unstoppable competitive software in the construction industry.

I've been so frustrated with estimating that I was ready to give it up. Handoff is like taking a 1,000-pound weight off my chest. I feel so much better now. I'm so glad I found you guys.

Glenn and Sons Remodel | Denver, CO

The software is brilliant — it's not just a tool, it's an entire support system. Sophia, my support team leader, has been wonderful. She responds quickly and gets things resolved every time. Even if the software stood alone, it would still be solid, but having a support system like this makes it one of the best out there.

How EJ Elliot Landed a $118,000 Remodel in His First Month

EJ didn't have a back-office team. He had Handoff. His AI Teammate handled the estimate and proposal so he could go from first contact to signed contract in under 24 hours.
