Why Insurance Estimates and Contractor Estimates Often Differ

A detailed review can help determine whether important items were omitted from the carrier’s estimate.

Dayton Insurance Claim FAQs

Should I hire a public adjuster before accepting an insurance settlement?

Many policyholders choose to have their claim reviewed before signing releases or accepting final settlements.

What if my insurance company says the damage is wear and tear?

Insurance carriers often investigate whether damage resulted from a covered event or long-term deterioration. Supporting documentation can be important in these situations.

Can I dispute an insurance estimate?

Yes. Policyholders generally have the right to present additional information supporting their position.

How are public adjusters paid?

Most public adjusters work on a contingent fee basis, meaning compensation is tied to the claim outcome.

What if my roof claim was denied?

A denial does not always mean the matter is closed. Additional inspections, weather documentation, photographs, and expert reports may help clarify the claim.

Can a public adjuster help with supplemental claims?

Yes. Supplemental claims may be appropriate when additional damage is discovered after the initial claim evaluation.
