Insurance Policy Experts. Unmatched Client Advocacy.
After property damage, you may be unsure about how to start the claims process or how to get the most from your insurance. This uncertainty can lead your insurer to deny or undervalue your claim.
Whether the damage to your home is caused by a major event or something smaller like a broken appliance, hiring a public adjuster is important. These professionals are experts in residential insurance claims and have years of experience assisting homeowners and renters.
With over 24 years of experience, Excel Adjusters has successfully settled over 2,200 property damage claims since 1997. We know your insurance policy inside and out. Our team manages the entire claims process for both homeowners and business owners, ensuring a maximum settlement.
Understanding the Residential Claims Process
Residential claims can be difficult due to insurance companies’ desire to minimize payouts. When you file a claim, they will send an adjuster to evaluate the damage. However, their adjuster’s focus will be on the company's interests, not yours.
Ultimately, insurance companies focus on minimizing payouts, which can make the claims process more stressful, confusing, and frustrating.
This is where Excel Adjusters can make a difference. We offer:

What Our Residential Claims Services Cover
Wind & Hail Damage Claims:
Wind and hail damage, typically caused by thunderstorms and severe weather, is the most common reason for homeowners insurance claims. Our independent adjusters will evaluate the damage to your roof and other parts of your property.
Fire Damage Claims:
The hidden damage caused by smoke, broken pipes, and more can make fire damage claims tricky. Thankfully, we will arrange for a professional hygienist to carefully evaluate your property before we begin the claim process.
Water Damage Claims:
Water damage can be both expensive and damaging, but we strive to pinpoint the source and gather all the evidence to strengthen your insurance claim.
Vandalism & Theft Claims:
While these issues are more common in commercial claims, we will work hard to ensure you receive compensation for any vandalism or theft affecting your property.
Personalized Claims:
Every claim is different, and we understand that. Our public adjusters offer customized attention, adapting their strategy to the specific property damage you've faced.
Residential insurance claims involve homeowners requesting compensation from their insurance provider. As long as the damages are covered by the policy, the compensation will address the losses.
Damages from fire, windstorms, hail, theft, vandalism, and other natural disasters are typically covered by homeowners insurance. But coverage can vary by region and policy type, so it’s essential to review your policy before starting the claims process.
The difference between a fire claims public adjuster and an insurance adjuster lies in whose interests they represent. Insurance companies will appoint an independent adjuster, which may bias the outcome in their favor. A public adjuster, on the other hand, is hired to advocate for your best interests.
The ideal way to avoid disputes is by working with a public insurance adjuster. Their documented evidence, understanding of your policy, and clear communication are key to preventing conflicts.
The fee for public adjusters is typically a percentage of the settlement, which motivates them to work towards the best outcome for you.
