Your Glendale public adjuster
Our office is on North Orange Street in Glendale, so when we say local, we mean it. We inspect the property ourselves, 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 Glendale
Glendale sits at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains, and parts of the city fall within designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Homes near the foothills deal with wildfire exposure, embers and Santa Ana winds, and a fire anywhere in the basin can leave smoke and ash in homes that never burned. Insurance companies often underestimate that kind of damage, especially smoke in HVAC systems, ducts and attics.
The city also has a lot of older homes and a large number of condos and apartment buildings. Older supply lines, drain lines and water heaters fail, and a leak in one unit can reach several others. Condo claims add another layer, because the HOA's master policy and the owner's own policy cover different parts of the loss, and the two sides do not always agree on who pays for what.
Roofs take a beating too. Wind can lift or displace shingles, and once water gets in, the carrier may try to limit the claim to a small repair. We took a nearby Shadow Hills roof claim through appraisal to win a full replacement.
Claims we handle in Glendale
- Fire and smoke damage, including wildfire smoke and ash in homes that did not burn.
- Water damage, from burst pipes and failed supply lines to hidden leaks and mold disputes.
- Wind and roof damage, including partial repair offers when the whole roof needs replacing.
- Vandalism and burglary, from stolen belongings to broken doors and windows.
- Personal property and contents, so your belongings are valued fairly.
- Condo and HOA claims, where the master policy and the unit owner's policy both come into play.
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.
