Why we focus on the amount of loss
Many claim professionals do a little of everything. We chose to specialize in the one question appraisal answers: how much the covered damage costs. That focus lets us serve as the appraiser you appoint, review an estimate before a dispute hardens, or sit as a neutral umpire on panels where we represent neither side.
How we work
- Scope first. We inspect, measure and photograph before we look at anyone else’s numbers.
- Defensible over dramatic. An inflated estimate loses credibility with an umpire. We price what we can support.
- Plain-English reporting. You’ll understand every difference between our valuation and the carrier’s.
- Honest triage. If your file needs an attorney, a public adjuster or simply a supplement, we tell you.
- Fees in writing. You know the cost before any work starts.
Who we work with
Homeowners, condo owners and trustees, landlords, property managers, churches, business owners, contractors, public adjusters and attorneys. On any one claim we serve in a single role, and we disclose prior relationships with the other appraiser or the umpire.
What we are not
We are not a law firm and don’t give legal advice. We don’t act as public adjusters or negotiate claims outside the appraisal process. We can’t guarantee outcomes — no honest appraiser can.
Built for Massachusetts
A Back Bay brownstone, a Worcester triple-decker, a Lowell mill loft and a Chatham cottage have little in common except the weather that tests them. We price each with local labor and material costs, and with an eye for what New England estimates tend to miss: ice and water shield, slate and cedar matching, steep and high-roof charges, and code items that apply when older homes are repaired.
