Core appraisal service

Independent evaluation of the amount of property loss

When estimates differ, a useful appraisal review looks beyond the final totals and identifies the scope, quantity, pricing, and repair-method differences behind them.

The appraisal assignment can include review of the damaged property, measurements, photographs, competing estimates, repair sequencing, material considerations, labor, access, and other information that affects the cost of repair.

Services adapted to the property and the loss

The repair scope for a home can be very different from the scope for a retail building, apartment complex, church, office, or institutional property.

Residential property

Homes, condominiums, townhomes, and rental properties

Review can address roofing, siding, windows, doors, interior finishes, flooring, cabinetry, trim, paint, and other damaged building components.

Commercial property

Retail, office, multi-family, church, and institutional buildings

Commercial assignments may require additional attention to building systems, access, occupancy, sequencing, specialized materials, and larger repair scopes.
