We are actively managing appraisals for both policyholders and insurance companies. This balanced, dual-perspective approach enables our team to deliver fair, unbiased, and well-rounded evaluations.
Our nationwide network of highly skilled appraisers and industry experts ensures that every loss is matched with the most qualified professional for that specific case. Many of our appraisers have served as expert witnesses in litigated claims, further reinforcing our credibility and capability.
We have successfully managed commercial appraisals exceeding $30 million, supported by a well-coordinated internal team and strategic partnerships.

FAQ's
Storm Damage Insurance Appraisals – FAQ
What is a storm damage insurance appraisal?
A: It's an independent assessment of the damage to your property caused by a storm (hail, wind, lightning, flooding, etc.). This appraisal is used to determine the value of the loss and ensure you receive a fair insurance payout.
When should I request an appraisal?
A: You should request an appraisal if your insurance company’s settlement offer seems too low or if there’s a dispute about the extent of the storm damage.
What types of storm damage do you assess?
A: We assess damage from hail, wind, hurricanes, tornadoes, heavy rain, flooding (in some cases), lightning, and falling debris. Both residential and commercial properties are covered.
Do I need to involve my insurance company to get an appraisal?
A: No, you can hire an independent appraiser yourself. If you're in an active claim dispute, the appraisal process is often a formal step allowed in your policy’s terms.
How long does the appraisal process take?
A: After we get response from the carrier, most appraisals are completed within 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the extent of the damage and the availability of documentation.
What happens after the appraisal is completed?
A: A detailed report is submitted to both you and the insurance company. If you're in the formal appraisal phase of a dispute, the outcome is binding, and the insurer must pay the agreed amount.
How much does a storm damage appraisal cost?
A: Costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the property but are usually a flat fee for most residential claims.
