How is Your Damage Estimate Prepared?

After a thorough inspection, possibly several inspections with contractors and experts as necessary, Stone Claims completes a comprehensive estimate in the software used by your insurance carrier for compatibility and clarity.

The estimate details each damaged item. Each item’s repair cost – area by area, reflects the real total repair costs, and this estimate, must conform to the coverages provided in your policy language. Our estimates will include repair costs and additional required items such as OSHA regulations, any law or ordinance issues, and increased costs of construction, to name just a few.

When Should I Call a Public Adjuster?

You should call us at  1-800-892-1116 immediately after a loss. It is most beneficial for all parties when Stone Claims Group is involved at the beginning of the claim development to set the tone for the entire claim & settlement process.

Typically a carrier property insurance adjuster will investigate and evaluate your claim quickly after the claim is established, it’s usually with the intention of settling quickly, saving claim dollars, and moving on to the next insured. It is important to let the insurance company know the estimated amount of the loss at the beginning of the claim to properly set the reserve funds. Once an insurance company adjuster sets his or her reserve amount it is much harder to get them to change their minds and add to the amount.
