Your Burbank public adjuster

Burbank is right next door to our Glendale office. We inspect the property in person, deal with the insurance company's adjuster and handle the claim from the first walkthrough to the final payment. A public adjuster works for you, not the insurance company. Our job is to make sure the damage is fully documented and the claim is paid at what it really costs to repair or replace.

If your claim was denied, underpaid or delayed, or you are not sure the insurance company's number makes sense, call us before you agree to a settlement or sign anything.

What shapes insurance claims in Burbank

Burbank sits at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains, so homes in the hillside neighborhoods deal with brush fire risk, embers and Santa Ana winds, while homes on the flats mostly see water, roof and smoke losses.

A lot of Burbank's housing is older single family homes, plus condos and apartments near the studios and downtown. Aging supply lines, drain lines and water heaters fail, and a leak in one unit can reach others. Condo owners often deal with both the HOA's master policy and their own.

Smoke from fires anywhere in the region can settle in the Valley, and insurance companies often underestimate smoke in HVAC systems, ducts and attics. If you were offered a quick cleaning estimate, a second look is worthwhile.

Claims we handle in Burbank

How it works

  • Free claim review. Tell us what happened. We look at your policy and the insurance company's position and tell you where you stand.
  • Documentation. We inspect the property, document the damage and prepare a detailed estimate and photo report.
  • Negotiation. We deal with the adjuster, respond to their estimate and push back on anything that was left out or undervalued.
  • Appraisal if needed. When the two sides cannot agree, we can invoke the appraisal clause in your policy.

Public adjusters are paid a percentage of the amount recovered, and the fee is spelled out in a written contract before you sign anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve Burbank from your Glendale office?

Yes. Burbank is a short drive from our office at 414 N Orange St in Glendale. We inspect the property in person and handle the claim from start to finish.

Do I need a public adjuster for a claim in Burbank?

You do not have to hire one, but it can help when the damage is large, the claim was denied or underpaid, or the insurance company's estimate is far below your contractor's. A free review can tell you whether it makes sense for your claim.

How much does a public adjuster cost?

Public adjusters are paid a percentage of what is recovered. The fee and everything else about the work is written into a contract that you can review before you sign. We are happy to go over it with you during a free review.

What should I do first after damage to my Burbank home?

Make sure everyone is safe and stop the source of the damage if you can. Take photos and video before any cleanup, keep damaged items when possible, save receipts for emergency costs and report the loss to your insurance company. Then call us before you agree to a settlement or sign anything.

Does insurance cover a burst pipe or failed supply line in Burbank?

In most cases, sudden and accidental water damage is covered, though limits, exclusions and deductibles vary by policy. Slow leaks and long term seepage are often treated differently. We review your policy and the cause of the loss before the insurance company decides.

Can you help with a roof claim after a windstorm?

Yes. We document wind damage on every slope, not just the one the adjuster looks at, and push for a repair or replacement scope that actually fixes the roof. We took a Shadow Hills roof claim through appraisal to win a full replacement.
