Advice From Marc Lancaric – Public Adjuster & President of Global Patriot Adjuster, LLC.:

When high winds, tornadoes, or hail hit your home, it’s smart to check for signs of permanent damage. Look for these six signs of wind-related trouble:

• New cracks in walls, especially walls near windows and doors. Cracks larger than a quarter-inch or more are a sign walls may have shifted or settled.Exterior foundation cracks or changes in the levelness indicate foundation issues have arisen.
• Plumbing problems like leaks around the water heater or water softener.
• Flush your toilets and turn on all your water faucets, then check your pipes for leaks.
• Water stains or yellowing on your ceilings over the next few weeks — clues that the roof was damaged.
• Gutters that have pulled away or are no longer sloped correctly.
• If you home was hit by hail:
• Check patio covers, screens, windows, and soft aluminum roofs for damage.
• Examine roof shingles (use binoculars if you can’t safely climb a ladder) for holes or dents.
• Go over vehicles looking for dents and broken or cracked glass.

If you find hail or wind damage:

• Cover any broken windows and holes in your roof, as well as any broken glass on the car, to prevent further damage.
• Report your insurance claim as soon as possible; no matter what the level of damage.
• Take pictures before you make any temporary repairs.
• Keep receipts for any temporary repairs you have to make because your homeowners policy may cover those costs.
• Do a reference check on any contractor you hire to repair your home. Fraudsters working home repair scams typically follow the path of storms.
• With years of experience, our ability to bring about quick action from your insurance carrier is our standard of operation. Your insurance company does not have your best interest at heart. We have a staff ready to personally handle every aspect of your claim..

Flat Roof Insurance Claims - Public Adjuster

Our Chief Estimator once said; "If you are looking forthe guy that invented the flat roof, he's bound to be in hell."   Our Flat Roof Insurance Claim Clients know this all too well.  Often, Flat Roof Insurance Claims can be some of the most difficult to handle on your own.

Why are Flat Roof Insurance Claims so difficult to settle?  

1. Because there is no clear line of separation between sections, so insurance carriers are forced to look at replacement of the entire roof, more often than not.
2. Because the roof systems require seamless installation that does not allow for many types of simple repairs.
3. Drainage issue, can be confusing to insurance adjusters not trained and seasoned on Flat Roof Insurance Claims.
4. Code mandated upgrades to roofs must be explained and proven to keep the insured from being open to liability.

Flat Roof Insurance Claims need to be handled quickly to avoid deeper impact on buildings and contents they contain.  The very nature of the Flat Roof does not allow for easy covering as a manner of temporary repair.  Often times, we help clients get needed skills on site to stop the loss by making temporary repairs with the best engineering methods in the market.

Complex Multi-Tenant Insurance Claims Public Adjuster

Global Patriot Adjusters Special Skills for Complex Multi-Tenant Insurance Claims NH, MA, CT, RI, VT, ME, NY, LA, and GA. Call 1-800-654-3041

Multi-Tenant Residential and Commercial properties that are damaged by Fire, Wind, Water, Mold, and even derelict cars, often require a difficult path to settle insurance claims.  As a public adjuster with special skills in handling complexity in commercial claims, we bring the necessary skills to bring more money and less hassle in dealing with insurance claims.

Most insurance adjusters scope damage on a property without the degree of detail required to repair the property and deal with costly code oriented upgrades.  Our staff includes the former Construction Director who has directed and managed over 250 million in Multi-Tenant Insurance Repairs.   We estimate with an understanding of a high degree of obstacles that face Multi-Tenant Insurance Claim.  The scoping and proving of the cost of repair is just one area of our work and expertise.

Tenant Issues seem to perplex the average insurance adjuster.  We have seen issues as recently as this month where Fire Marshall in CT forced 77 tenant apartments to be vacated for 4 months during fire repairs.  The Insurance carrier denied the cost of moving the tenant and the loss of rent.  With our Multi-Tenant Public Adjuster skills, we were able to turn the denial into full payment for lost revenue and additional costs.

Last summer we worked a Mutli-Tenant claim in Braintree, MA.  A Multi-Tenant Fire had affected 2 units.  The insurance carrier denied smoke damage repairs and cleaning to 6 adjoining units.  The carrier also denied replacing the roof.  By putting the claim in writing, and getting allied proof, we forced the carrier to pay for building repairs, smoke damage,  and a full re-roof of the building. The carrier had offered $28,000 on this claim. We settled the claim for $112,000.

Recently, we a handled a water damage claim for a multi-tenant owner in Hartford CT.  The claim was originally assessed by the carrier as a simple water loss.  Our investigation found the water damage had been longer term than expected and resulted in foundation and other structural repairs to the property.  Our solution included code compliance issue.  Global Patriot Adjuster settled the claim for nearly 300% more than the original insurance settlement that was offered.

Global Patriot Adjusters has worked on some of the most complex multi-tenant insurance claims.  Our Multi-Tenant claims are always handled by Marc Lancaric - Public Adjuster & President of Global Patriot Adjusters, LLC.
