About DCS

How DCS Works

DCS prepares Xactimate estimates and supplements for restoration contractors. The contractor submits the documentation to the carrier and to the homeowner. The contractor handles all communication with the carrier and all communication with the homeowner. DCS does not contact carriers. DCS does not contact homeowners. DCS is not a public adjuster. DCS does not negotiate settlements. DCS produces the file.
