Insurance appraisal in Austin.
Central Texas weather can be hard to predict. Austin homeowners have dealt with major hail storms, the 2021 winter storm that burst pipes across the city, and the 2023 ice storm that brought down trees onto roofs. After events like these, lowball estimates are common, and appraisal is a way to settle the difference.

What we see on Austin claims.
Hail & wind damage
Roofs, siding, and gutters across Austin and the surrounding suburbs take regular hail hits. Partial-roof approvals and missing line items are common issues.
Frozen & burst pipes
Freeze events cause water damage that spreads through walls, ceilings, cabinets, and floors. Drying, tear-out, and mold remediation are often underestimated.
Falling trees & limbs
Ice and wind bring trees down onto roofs, fences, and vehicles. Tree removal, structural repairs, and interior damage should all be accounted for.

What is an insurance appraisal?
Most Texas property policies include an appraisal clause. When you and your insurance company agree the damage is covered but disagree on how much it's worth, either side can demand appraisal in writing. Each side names its own appraiser. If the two appraisers can't agree, an umpire decides. An award signed by any two of the three sets the amount of loss.
Can appraisal help if my claim was denied?
Appraisal does not handle coverage-related issues. It only decides the amount of a covered loss.
