Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I send you project information?

However works best for you — email, text, a shared folder, or a project management tool you already use. We adapt to your workflow, not the other way around.

Will my clients know I'm using NES?

No. Every estimate is delivered under your company name and branding. We work as a silent partner — your clients see a professional estimate from your business, period.

What if I need changes to the estimate?

Revisions are included. If you need adjustments after reviewing, just let us know and we'll turn them around quickly — typically same day.

How fast is the turnaround?

Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours. For time-sensitive bids or claims, we offer rush turnaround at 12–24 hours. Just let us know when you submit.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

No. We work on a per-project basis. Use us as much or as little as you need — there's no minimum commitment and no long-term obligation.

What types of projects can you estimate?

Residential and commercial — roofing, siding, interiors, new construction, insurance restoration, supplements, and more. If you're a contractor, we can estimate it.
