A public adjuster is a licensed professional who exclusively works for the policyholder and NEVER the insurance company. A public adjuster performs a variety of important functions, including inspecting the damaged site, taking steps to protect your property, reviewing your insurance policy and evaluating damages.

What types of damages does a public adjuster assess for homeowners?

We do a room-by-room assessment of your home to make sure we account for all your losses. We calculate damages to your home, property and personal items, as well as expenses for temporary residence and other expenses.

What types of damages does a public adjuster assess for businesses?

We consider damages to your real property, assets, inventory, lost revenue, business interruption, temporary office space and other expenses. We consult with inventory and industry experts to help us evaluate your damages accurately.
