DocuSketch, the leading field documentation and estimating platform for the restoration industry, today announced it has been named the winner of the 2026 RIA Contractor's Choice Award in the Best Product/Tool category—marking the second consecutive year the company has received the honor.  

The Contractor's Choice Award is decided entirely by restoration contractors through popular vote, with no panels or judges. The recognition reflects the direct choice of the professionals  
 who rely on these tools in the field every day.  

Since earning the award in 2025, DocuSketch has continued investing in product development and contractor support—including the launch of DocuSketch 360 AI, which delivers instant sketches, initial estimates, and speech-to-scope capabilities. Reconstruction and full mitigation documentation features are also in development.  

 "Back-to-back recognition from contractors is something we don't take lightly. Being chosen two years in a row tells us contractors aren't just reaching for DocuSketch when things get hectic—they're building their whole operation around it. That's exactly the kind of partner we set out to be. And the best is still ahead. With DocuSketch 360 AI launching now—instant sketches, initial estimates, speech-to-scope—and reconstruction and full mitigation documentation on the way, this award pushes us to keep moving fast. We're just getting started."  

— Ralf von Grafenstein, CEO, DocuSketch  

The award underscores DocuSketch's position as an essential platform across the restoration industry, with contractors voting the company to the top of the category for the second straight year.
