Case Study: RAR Contracting achieves 30% faster, more accurate estimates with Verisk's XactRemodel

RAR Contracting Uses XactRemodel to Save Time, Gain Competitive Edge

RAR Contracting, a remodeling firm that completes up to 120 projects per month (ranging from $6,000 to $65,000+), needed a versatile estimating solution to handle everything from roofing and foundation work to flooring and appliances for The Home Depot’s Home Renovation Services program. They turned to Verisk and its XactRemodel product to replace niche estimation tools and in‑house price lists that couldn’t cover the full spectrum or provide detailed, itemized reports with reliable local pricing.

Verisk’s XactRemodel—with features like Sketch floor‑plan tools, access to local pricing across 460+ regions, and responsive training/support—was implemented quickly and pain‑free. The solution cut estimating workflows by about 30%, sped turnaround so quotes can be delivered within 24 hours, improved estimate accuracy, and gave RAR Contracting a competitive edge when bidding, including producing a bid that matched The Home Depot’s expectations.
