Appraisal

Insurance appraisal is a process included in most policies to resolve claim disputes when there is disagreement over the amount of damage or the cost to properly repair the property. It gives the policyholder the ability to have the loss independently reviewed when a claim becomes underpaid or stalled, while allowing contractors’ repair scopes and pricing to be fairly considered. If the appraisers cannot agree, a neutral umpire helps settle the remaining differences so the claim can move forward without litigation

Umpire

When appraisal reaches an impasse, our Umpire services provide the steady, experienced third voice needed to move the claim forward. As a neutral and independent umpire, we review both appraisers’ positions, analyze the scope and pricing in dispute, and issue a clear, well-supported decision focused on fairness and policy compliance. Our process is practical, efficient, and grounded in real-world construction knowledge—helping avoid unnecessary delays, reduce conflict, and bring claims to a defensible resolution both parties can trust.
