The sole idea of a hurricane hitting your local area is scary and stressful by default. But when the hurricane damages your property, the entire situation becomes miles more stressful.

Hail Damage
Unfortunately, natural disasters happen.

Our Proven Process
The Elite Difference
Our proven way we provide our service or product to our customers. We do it every time and produce the same result in 3 major steps.
1. Collect Information from the Insured
The first step consists of interviewing the insured, inspecting the loss, and explaining the entire process in detail. In this phase, we obtain all the necessary documentation and perform an expert on-site inspection to determine the scope of the loss. Our experienced team inspects the property thoroughly, possibly noticing damages the insured might have missed, and documents the findings in the form of notes, sketches and photos.
2. Get in touch with the Carrier
In the second step, we submit the request, along with all the collected documentation pertaining to the loss, and schedule an inspection with the Carrier. During the inspection, we show all the damages to the FA and try to reach an agreement in terms of whether the damages were caused by the covered peril. Finally, we set the timeline expectations with the FA, document the details of the inspection, and inform all concerned parties in writing.
3. Follow-up and Coverage Determination
In the final step, we ensure that all timelines are met and take appropriate action if they are not, in accordance with applicable law.
In the event you are not properly indemnified, we will move to litigation and take all necessary steps to ensure success.
Our proven process is aimed at reaching a fair settlement for you and ends with your indemnification.
We’ll be there for you from the moment you reach out to us until you receive your funds to make sure your rights and assets are protected.

I would recommend Andy from Elite Resolutions Public Adjusters to anyone who wants an honest and quality adjuster that will advocate for you.
Andy over-delivered and achieved the best case scenario I could have hoped for. I am truly appreciative of his hard work and dedication and cannot thank him enough.
This review is late as hell but charge it to my head and not my heart.

FAQs
1. What is a public adjuster?
A public adjuster is a licensed insurance adjuster that represents the policyholder (the homeowner, building owner, etc.) in an insurance claim process. A public adjuster is not the same as a company adjuster or an independent adjuster.
2. What is the difference between a public, company, and independent adjuster?
- A public adjuster works on behalf of the public that hired them in a claims process.
- A company adjuster is a salaried employee of an insurance company that represents the company that pays them.
- An independent adjuster is an independent contractor (hence the term) that is hired by an insurance company to gather data for the company adjuster.
So, public adjusters work for the public, while both company and independent adjusters work for insurance companies.
3. How can a public adjuster help me?
Every insurance policy contains provisions that you need to abide by – like immediately documenting the loss, submitting the claim, providing an estimate to the insurance company, following up with the insurance company, etc. There is a high likelihood that you don’t know or have forgotten about these provisions.
A public adjuster takes care of all of these things for you, including gathering the necessary documentation, presenting the claim properly and in a timely manner, following up with the company, and ultimately guides you through the claims process. On top of those services, a public adjuster will most often get you more money because of their experience.
4. What is the difference between submitting a claim myself and hiring a public adjuster?
The difference is simple – a public adjuster is a licensed, trained, and experienced professional that specializes in insurance claims. They are experts in reading policies and negotiating with insurance companies.
You can file an insurance claim yourself, but the outcome will depend on your ability to do the job of a public adjuster. About 99% of the time, by hiring a public adjuster, you will end up with 50% to 500% more.
5. Is it the same to hire a PA vs. getting a roofer or contractor to help with my claim?
No, it is not the same to hire a public adjuster vs. a roofer or contractor to help with your claim. The basic difference is in what public adjusters are licensed to do. Only two categories of people are legally allowed to negotiate claims, talk about the policy, deadlines, statutes, and handle all the other facets of an insurance claim process – public adjusters and attorneys.
A contractor or a roofer is limited only to the estimate. A contractor or roofer cannot deal with coverage or additional living expenses, they cannot file disputes, etc. A contractor or roofer cannot help you if you are having trouble even contacting the insurance company and pushing them in the right direction. Hiring a contractor or roofer can be beneficial and is often advisable, but they are limited only to the estimate.
6. What is the difference between hiring an attorney and a PA?
Public adjusters and attorneys have similar legal authorization regarding insurance claims. However, the difference is in their role in the process. You can consider public adjusters the first line of defense. They are there from the beginning, documenting the claim, putting the estimate together, presenting the claim, following up, and generally being with you through the entire process.
If a public adjuster is unable to get an insurance company to pay the claim, then there are times to use an attorney, as many public adjusters will do. Yet, the main practical difference between a public adjuster and an attorney is the length of time it takes to settle a claim – if it gets to litigations, with attorneys the process can last between a year and two; with a public adjuster, the process to settle a claim takes between 1 to 4 months.
7. How much will it cost to hire a public adjuster?
The cost of hiring a public adjuster differs from state to state. Some states have limitations while others do not. More importantly, public adjusters are usually not paid a flat fee but work on contingency.
For example, the fee to hire a public adjuster in Florida is up to 20% of the claim. If a natural disaster happens, the fee is limited to 10%. In Texas, the fee is 10% of the entire value of the claim. This also means that public adjusters are financially motivated to get you as much money as possible and expediently complete the claims process.
8. How long does a claim represented by a public adjuster usually take?
A claim represented by a public adjuster usually takes between 1 to 3 or 4 months to settle. Insurance companies have a set amount of time to investigate a claim, typically 90 days. The public adjuster’s role is to expedite the process. If a public adjuster cannot settle your claim within that time period, then the assistance of an attorney may be required.
9. Where can I find my policy/claim number?
You can find your policy/claim number for your insurance on the Declarations Page, which is usually the first page of your insurance policy. The Declarations Page also contains the policy period, agent’s information, mortgage company information, and coverage limits, along with your deductibles.
10. What items should I provide to my PA in order to make my insurance claim go smoothly?
The public adjuster needs:
- A full copy of your policy;
- The Declarations Page (if you are unable to provide a full copy of your insurance policy);
- Any invoices or receipts of repairs done that are related to the loss;
- Any photos or videos that you have that prove the event took place.
