Claim Stories

If your claim feels like it's going nowhere, that might be the point. Slow replies. Weeks between calls. The damage gets worse. Delay wears property owners down until they take less. The answer is persistence: a written record, deadlines held, and a push for every dollar the damage is owed. Delay wears you down. It doesn't have to work.

Your insurance company has an adjuster. They work for the carrier. So who's working for you? A public adjuster finds every bit of the damage, reads your full policy, builds a detailed repair estimate and negotiates with the carrier for you. A licensed public adjusting firm works only for the property owner.

Happy Halloween.

A tree hit the roof. The carrier priced a patch. But the storm tore metal panels across that Pensacola roof, and rain came through the ceilings in three rooms. The drywall, the insulation and the floors below all took water. We scoped the whole loss, every room, and pushed back on the patch. Request a free claim review.

It started as a drip from upstairs. It didn't stay one. The ceiling sagged. The wood floors buckled. Condo claims can involve more than one policy, plus the bylaws. We review it all and scope every inch of the damage.

Your insurance policy is complex by design. Sublimits, endorsements, exclusions in the fine print. Too many property owners find out what's covered only after a loss. Know your coverage before you need it. A well-versed public adjuster can make the difference. Request your free policy review today.

The storm stopped last night. The leak didn't. One opening in the roof can show up in the hallway, the bedroom and a wall downstairs. That's why the first call should be to a public adjuster before the insurance company's adjuster sets the scope. We work for you, not the insurance company. We trace every stain back to the roof, build the full claim and negotiate it with your carrier from day one. Request your free claim review today.

The insurance company's adjuster works for the insurance company. That's their job. A public adjuster works for you, the property owner. We read the policy, build our own estimate and negotiate the claim on your behalf. Request a free claim review.

Matching rules aren't the same everywhere. Some states require it. Many don't, and some policies quietly cap matching at 1% of your dwelling coverage. Know your fine print before you settle.

A supply line burst upstairs. It didn't stop at the bathroom. It came through the ceiling below. Then down into the finished basement. The carrier's estimate? Just the bathroom. We moisture-mapped every floor it touched. We're pushing back on all of it. They priced the bathroom. We're fighting for the floor below.
