About Us
GET TO KNOW US
Reliability, Integrity & Experience
Fire and Restoration Appraisals is a company of experienced building consultants with a demonstrated history of working in the insurance industry. Skilled in negotiation, risk management, customer service, and Xactimate® and other software technology.
As building consultants, we assist policyholders in the preparation, presentation and adjustment of covered property losses.
We present our clients’ claims (from both residential and business owners) to the insurance companies, certified as to their accuracy and veracity. The policyholder benefits because the result is a claim that is comprehensive and accurate, often resulting in a recovery that is superior to that which would have been obtained by the policyholder alone.
Insurance claims require comprehensive, and often complicated, filing instructions. Because this process can be overwhelming, we communicate and negotiate with insurance companies on our client’s behalf, properly assessing the damage to a home or business, and write a detailed repair estimate. We are experts at handling insurance claims and know exactly how important it is to properly present an insurance claim.
Fire and Restoration Appraisals can take the stress and hassle of dealing with the insurance company away from residential and commercial building policyholders by managing the insurance claim on the owners’ behalf. Our efforts often result in optimizing a settlement for building owners on their insurance claims.
