Thorough Documentation
Inspection reports, contractor estimates, third-party assessments, and the policy itself — gathered into one file rather than scattered across email threads.
We prepare comprehensive, well-documented insurance claims that clearly communicate the facts, validate the damage, and support the full scope of repairs needed to restore your property to its pre-loss condition.
Adjusters work through a great many files. Yours gets the attention its documentation earns. A claim submitted as a pile of receipts and a contractor's one-page bid invites a low valuation. The same loss, presented with the damage validated, the scope itemized, and the pricing supported, is a much harder thing to discount.
Preparation also front-loads the work. The documentation that supports a well-built claim is the same documentation an appraisal panel or a court would ask for later. Do it once, at the start, and it carries the file the whole way.
Each part supports the next. Documentation establishes the facts, analysis explains them, evidence backs them, and estimating turns them into a number that holds up.
Inspection reports, contractor estimates, third-party assessments, and the policy itself — gathered into one file rather than scattered across email threads.
What was damaged, what caused it, and what else it affected — including the consequential damage that gets missed when only the obvious is recorded.
Every claimed item tied to something that demonstrates it — so the submission asserts nothing it can't show.
Priced the way the repair actually gets built, including code upgrades, access, and the sequencing costs a square-foot number leaves out.
A file built to withstand review — and ready for appraisal or litigation without being reassembled if the claim goes that way.
No. Don Karr holds an all-lines insurance adjuster license in Texas and additional states, but does not currently adjust claims — the practice is consulting only. We document the loss, analyze the damage, scope and price the repair, and assemble the supporting file. We do not negotiate or settle claims on your behalf. If your situation calls for a public adjuster or an attorney, we'll say so.
Before you submit, if possible. Reworking a claim after a low offer is harder than building it properly the first time — the initial number anchors everything that follows. That said, we regularly join files that are already underway.
Sometimes, for a small and uncomplicated loss. A contractor's bid prices the work they intend to do; it usually isn't built to answer a carrier's questions about causation, scope, or code requirements. Those are different documents doing different jobs.
The policy, the claim number if one has been assigned, access to the property, and whatever already exists — photos from the day of loss, contractor bids, correspondence with the carrier. We'll identify the gaps.
Then the file is already in the shape appraisal requires. That's part of why we build it this way — a well-prepared claim doesn't need reassembling when a dispute starts.
Yes — residential and commercial, including multi-building properties.
