Revolutionizing Contents Restoration: How AI is Reshaping Estimating and Inventory

Discover how AI is streamlining contents restoration and boosting profitability across the industry.

By Kayla McGowan
June 25, 2025

On this episode of Ask the Expert, we’re joined by industry experts Jason Krohn, Founder and CEO of Claims Crafters and Chad Holland, Regional Director at Paul Davis Restoration. AI is taking the industry by storm, and it is no surprise that we are adapting and utilizing this technology to our advantage. Jason and Chad discuss how you can leverage AI for contents and estimating and the potential power it can have in the future.  

We discussed these key topics:

  • How AI has transformed the contents restoration process, enabling faster and more accurate inventory and valuation through tools like Claims Crafters' Contents IQ
  • Challenges companies face in handling contents restoration, such as the time-consuming and tedious nature of the manual process and how AI can help overcome these obstacles
  • How Paul Davis Restoration is leveraging Contents IQ to improve their contents services, including better customer experience and faster claim settlements
  • Why some companies have overlooked contents as part of their service offerings, and how AI can change that perspective by making the process more efficient and profitable
  • The potential impact of AI-powered contents tools like Contents IQ on the industry's profitability and competitive positioning, including increased transparency, speed and tailored insurance policies
