Appraisal Services
Accurate, Defensible Property Damage Assessments
When claims are disputed, documentation is incomplete, or estimates are inconsistent, a professional appraisal brings clarity. We provide objective, detailed property damage valuations that stand up to scrutiny in negotiations, settlements, and legal proceedings.
When is an Appraisal Required?
The option for appraisal depends on the specific insurance policy, as each one outlines its own terms. Generally, either the property owner or the insurance carrier may request an appraisal to resolve disagreements about scope or value. Each party selects and pays for their own appraiser. The policy typically defines the timeframe for responding to an appraisal demand. The two appraisers will then work together to reach a resolution. If they are unable to agree, a neutral umpire, chosen beforehand, will step in to help finalize the outcome.
