 Citizens Property Insurance Corporation provides property insurance to many Florida property owners. When damage occurs, the policyholder reports the loss directly to Citizens.

Citizens generally describes its claims process in four major stages:

Report → Inspect → Review → Payment

After a claim is reported, Citizens may arrange an inspection of the property. The claim is then reviewed to determine applicable coverage, deductibles, and the amount of covered damage under the terms and conditions of the policy.

One important point for homeowners to understand is that an insurance company's adjuster is evaluating the claim on behalf of the insurer.

A licensed public adjuster represents the policyholder's interests in the property insurance claim.

 Roof damage is one of the most important areas to document after a Central Florida storm.

Damage may involve more than a visibly missing shingle.

Depending on the event and roofing system, an inspection may identify conditions involving:

• Wind-damaged or displaced roofing materials
• Missing shingles or tiles
• Creased, lifted or fractured shingles
• Hail impacts
• Damaged flashing
• Roof penetrations
• Water intrusion
• Ceiling and drywall damage
• Insulation damage
• Interior moisture
• Related exterior components

The cause of the damage matters.

A roof can be old and still experience damage from a separate weather event. Likewise, discovering a leak does not by itself establish why the leak occurred.

Our job as public adjusters is to investigate and document the property damage so the claim can be presented based on the available evidence and applicable policy.

 Orlando and Central Florida properties can experience significant wind and rain during tropical storms and hurricanes.

Some storm damage is obvious.

Other damage may not be discovered until a homeowner notices a ceiling stain, moisture, displaced roofing material or another indication that water has entered the building.

A hurricane or wind claim can potentially involve multiple areas of a property, including:

Roofing • Exterior • Windows • Interior • Ceilings • Walls • Flooring • Personal Property

Thoroughly documenting all affected areas can help create a more complete record of the loss.

 Water can travel far beyond the location where it first entered a building.

A visible ceiling stain may represent only one portion of the affected area.

Depending on the circumstances, water damage can involve ceilings, drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinetry and other building materials.

When evaluating a water-damage claim, determining the source and cause of the water is particularly important because insurance coverage depends on the specific policy and facts of the loss.

Roof Claim Adjusting can document the affected areas and help prepare the property claim for review.

 Receiving a payment does not necessarily mean you must assume every item of damage has been identified.

Citizens itself explains that estimates can change during the claim process as additional information becomes available.

If you believe your payment or estimate does not reflect the full extent of covered property damage, a public adjuster can review the available claim documents and property conditions.

We may examine items such as:

Insurance estimate
What damage and repair work were included?

Property inspection
Are there damaged areas that may require additional documentation?

Measurements and quantities
Do the measurements accurately reflect the affected property?

Repair scope
Does the documented scope correspond with the observed conditions?

Photographs and supporting documentation
Is there additional evidence relevant to the claim?

Every insurance claim is different, and additional payment is never guaranteed. Our role is to identify and document legitimate property damage and advocate for the policyholder within the insurance claim process.

 A denied property insurance claim can be frustrating, but a denial does not prevent you from reviewing the claim and understanding the basis for the decision.

Start by carefully reviewing the written coverage determination.

Important questions may include:

Why was the claim denied?

What policy language did the insurer rely upon?

What cause of damage was identified?

Was all of the property damage inspected?

Is there additional documentation that may be relevant?

Roof Claim Adjusting can review the property damage and available claim documentation to help determine whether additional information should be presented.

When a matter requires legal interpretation or legal representation, an appropriate Florida attorney should be consulted.
