The same Xactimate code can price differently in different regions, in different price months, and against different price lists. Here's how that works — and why ESXPress publishes code guidance instead of prices.
Xactimate estimates price against region-specific price lists. Each list carries regional labor rates, local material costs, and area-specific market factors, and it is updated on a price-month cycle. A line like a laminated shingle roof replacement is made up of labor, material, and equipment components — and each of those carries different rates in different markets.
That is why the same scope can come in differently in Tulsa, Dallas, or Denver: the codes are the same, but the region's price list is not. It is also why Xactimate asks for the job's location — it selects the price list that applies to the work.
Publishing one region's numbers as if they applied everywhere would be wrong and misleading, and a “reprice” built on a single region's data can't give you the true number for your job.
The only honest reprice happens inside Xactimate, against the licensed price list for the job's region. When you import an ESXPress file into Xactimate, Xactimate applies your price list — that is the workflow ESXPress is built for.
No. Xactimate line items price against region-specific price lists, and ESXPress publishes code identity, usage guidance, and real-claim evidence instead of prices. Prices vary by region and price list, so a single published number would be misleading.
Xactimate price lists carry regional labor rates, local material costs, and area-specific market factors. The same line item — for example a laminated shingle roof replacement — can price differently in different regions and in different price months.
No. A true reprice requires the Xactimate price list for the job's region. The reliable way to reprice an estimate is to import it into Xactimate, which applies the correct regional price list for the job location.
ESXPress tells you what an Xactimate code is, when and how it is used in real claims, the units it is measured in, how it is written, and which codes it is commonly paired with — measured from claim scopes processed through ESXPress.
Run the estimate in Xactimate against the price list for your region, or work with a Xactimate user in your area. ESXPress converts scope PDFs into import-ready ESX files so the pricing happens in Xactimate with your price list.
