Your North Hollywood public adjuster

North Hollywood is one of the busiest parts of the Valley, with a mix of older homes, small apartment buildings and newer condos. We work for you, not the insurance company. We inspect the property in person, document the damage and deal with the adjuster so 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 North Hollywood

Much of North Hollywood is older housing, from bungalows and duplexes built decades ago to small apartment buildings and newer condos in and around the NoHo Arts District. Old plumbing and aging water heaters are a common source of water losses, and a leak in a multi unit building can reach several units.

North Hollywood sits in the flat part of the Valley, so water, roof and smoke claims are more common than hillside fire claims. Smoke from fires elsewhere in the region can settle in the Valley, and Santa Ana winds are hard on older roofs, trees and fences.

Owners, landlords and renters all end up in claims here. Which policy covers what depends on who owns the structure and who owns the contents, and we help sort that out so nothing falls through the cracks.

Claims we handle in North Hollywood

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

Does insurance cover a burst pipe in my North Hollywood apartment or condo?

In most cases, sudden and accidental water damage is covered, though the details depend on the policy. A renter's policy covers your belongings and living costs, while the building itself falls under the owner's or HOA's policy. We help work out which coverage applies.

Do I need a public adjuster for a claim in North Hollywood?

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 North Hollywood 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.

I rent. Can a public adjuster help with my belongings?

Yes. A renters policy covers your belongings and living costs if you cannot stay in the unit. We help build the inventory and push for replacement value. The building itself is the landlord's claim.

Can you help a landlord with a damaged rental building?

Yes. We handle claims for owners of duplexes, small apartment buildings and other rental property, including the repair scope and lost rent where the policy covers it.
