 A public adjuster represents the policyholder during the property insurance claim process.

Unlike an insurance company adjuster, who works for the insurer, a public adjuster works on behalf of the insured.

Depending on the circumstances of the claim, Roof Claim Adjusting may assist with:

• Reviewing available claim information 
• Documenting property damage 
• Photographing affected areas 
• Taking measurements 
• Preparing estimates and supporting documentation 
• Reviewing insurance-company estimates 
• Reviewing claim correspondence 
• Organizing evidence related to the loss 
• Assisting during property inspections 
• Communicating with the insurance carrier 
• Presenting information supporting the policyholder's claim 

Every insurance claim is different. Coverage and claim payments depend on the applicable policy, facts, evidence and circumstances of the loss.

 Roof damage can result from wind, hail, hurricanes, falling branches, severe thunderstorms and other events.

Damage may involve more than the visible roofing surface.

Depending on the loss, affected components can include:

• Shingles 
• Tile 
• Metal roofing 
• Flat roofing systems 
• Flashing 
• Vents 
• Underlayment 
• Ridge components 
• Gutters 
• Soffit and fascia 
• Exterior components 
• Ceilings 
• Drywall 
• Insulation 
• Flooring 
• Cabinets and other interior areas 

Roof Claim Adjusting approaches roof damage from the perspective of the property insurance claim, rather than selling roofing or construction services.

• Interior photographs 
• Measurements 
• Damage locations 
• Repair estimates 
• Supporting records 
• Information regarding the reported storm event

• Screens and enclosures 
• Windows and other affected components 

If you believe your Longwood property experienced hail damage, proper documentation can help establish what was observed and when the loss occurred.

 Mold-related property damage can involve moisture intrusion and affected building materials.

Documentation may include the location and extent of visible damage, photographs, moisture-related information and other records relevant to the property insurance claim.

Roof Claim Adjusting is a public adjusting firm, not a mold remediation company. Our role is to assist policyholders with documenting and presenting applicable property insurance claims.

 Receiving a claim denial does not necessarily mean there is nothing more to review.

The reason for the denial and the available claim documentation matter.

Depending on the circumstances, Roof Claim Adjusting may review:

• Insurance policy information 
• Denial correspondence 
• Insurance estimates 
• Inspection reports 
• Photographs 
• Repair estimates 
• Claim correspondence 
• Documentation concerning the reported loss 

A public adjuster cannot guarantee that a denial will be reversed. The appropriate next steps depend on the facts, evidence and applicable policy provisions.

 An insurance company may accept a claim while the policyholder believes the documented scope of damage has not been fully reflected in the estimate or payment.

Potential areas for review can include:

• Missing damaged areas 
• Incorrect quantities 
• Roof measurements 
• Repair scope 
• Interior damage 
• Building materials 
• Additional damage discovered during the claim 
• Differences between estimates 
• Supporting documentation 

Roof Claim Adjusting can review available claim information and help determine whether additional documentation or information may warrant consideration.
