What we handle

Every kind of property loss in NYC

Residential and commercial — from a kitchen fire in a walk-up to a burst riser in a high-rise, we manage the entire claim so you never negotiate against your own insurance company alone.

Fire & Smoke Damage

Structural fire, smoke, soot, and the water damage from firefighting. We capture the full scope so nothing is left off the estimate.

Water Damage & Leaks

Burst pipes, building leaks, sewage backups, and appliance failures. We document hidden moisture before it becomes a denial.

Roof & Structural Damage

Wind-torn roofs, hail, collapse, and resulting interior damage. We make the case for full repair, not a patch.

Storm & Wind Damage

Nor'easters, hurricanes, and severe storms. We handle emergency mitigation and the full property claim together.

Mold & Remediation

Mold from unresolved water intrusion. We tie it back to the covered loss and bring in certified remediation.

Vandalism & Theft

Break-ins, vandalism, and resulting property loss. We inventory and value everything you're owed.

Business Interruption

Lost income and extra expense when your business can't operate. We build the financials carriers respect.

Denied & Underpaid Claims

Already denied or lowballed? We re-open, re-document, and re-negotiate to recover what you should have been paid.

Full service, A to Z

One call. We handle all of it.

Hire us and you're not just getting a claim filed. We coordinate the entire recovery and refer our own vetted vendors for every step — so after a disaster, you make one call and we take it from there.

"After our apartment fire, the insurer offered a fraction of what we needed. They reopened everything and got us nearly three times the original offer."

Over hundreds of claims, we've recovered tens of millions of dollars for our clients by documenting losses thoroughly, knowing what policies actually owe, and refusing to accept the first offer. And because we're full service, we bring our own trusted vendors from emergency mitigation through final repairs.

The result: you handle one phone call. We handle the claim.

Common questions

What property owners ask us

What does a public adjuster do?
A public adjuster is a licensed insurance professional who works for you — the policyholder — not the insurance company. We inspect the damage, read your policy, document and value the full loss, prepare the claim, and negotiate directly with your carrier so you recover everything you're owed.
How are you different from the insurance company's adjuster?
The carrier's adjuster is paid by the insurer and works to protect the insurer's bottom line. We're hired by and accountable to you, and we're legally permitted to represent your interests throughout the entire claim.
How much does a public adjuster cost in New York?
We work on a contingency basis — you don't pay us unless we recover money on your claim. Public adjuster fees in New York are regulated by the Department of Financial Services, and we'll walk you through the terms before you sign anything.
My claim was denied or underpaid. Can you still help?
Yes. A denial or a lowball offer is not the end of the road. We routinely re-open, re-document, and re-negotiate denied and underpaid claims to recover what policyholders are actually owed.
Do you handle residential and commercial claims?
Both. We represent homeowners, landlords, co-ops, condos, and commercial property owners on fire, water, roof, storm, and other property damage claims throughout New York City.
When should I call — before or after I file?
As early as possible. Calling us before you file — or right after a loss — lets us document everything correctly from day one. But we can step in at any stage of an open claim.
