About Shield Consulting LLC
Property-loss consulting backed by construction and restoration experience.
Shield Consulting combines practical residential and commercial construction knowledge with insurance-restoration experience to inspect property damage, develop repair scopes, and prepare Xactimate estimates.
Who We Are
Independent property-loss consulting in the Tampa Bay area.
Shield Consulting LLC provides independent property-loss inspections, repair-scope development, and Xactimate estimating for residential and commercial claims.
Insurance carriers, independent adjusting firms, and attorneys may engage Shield Consulting when estimates are materially different, the repair scope is disputed, code-related work needs to be identified, or a loss requires a more detailed construction-based review.
Each assignment is based on the documented property conditions, construction requirements, applicable code, and supportable Xactimate pricing.
Combined Experience
Experience on both the construction and claims sides of the work.
The repair scope is evaluated with an understanding of both how property claims are documented and how construction work is actually completed.
Residential and Commercial Construction
More than 15 years of experience involving residential and commercial construction, remodeling, roofing, project management, repair planning, estimating, scheduling, and multi-trade construction operations.
Insurance Restoration
Six years of experience working with property-loss scopes, Xactimate estimates, restoration projects, estimate review, repair documentation, supplements, and communication involving property claims.
Relevant Experience
A background built through construction, roofing, and restoration.
Shield Consulting is supported by direct experience managing residential and commercial construction and insurance-restoration work.

The repair scope is developed with consideration for the work and methods required to complete the repair.

Clients communicate directly with the consultant responsible for the inspection, scope, and estimate.
Qualifications

Professional Focus
More than software knowledge.
Xactimate is the estimating platform. The value of the work comes from understanding the property conditions, repair requirements, and construction methods behind the estimate.
Documented conditions
The repair scope begins with the conditions observed during the property inspection.
Practical repair requirements
The estimate reflects the work and methods required to perform the repair.
Supportable documentation
Findings are documented in a clear repair scope and Xactimate estimate.
