Public Insurance Adjuster in Dickinson, TX

Dickinson Bayou winds through Dickinson, TX, and it can rise in heavy rain and tidal surge. Hurricane Harvey flooded homes here that had not flooded before, so many owners know how fast a quiet bayou can change. The town is also close to the coast, which means hurricane wind can strip shingles and damage siding and fences.

Galveston County properties may carry windstorm coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, and that affects how a wind claim is handled. Homes near the bayou raise another issue, since flood water and wind-driven rain can both be in play and each loss needs its own dated record. Single-story homes with shingle roofs are documented slope by slope.

We are licensed Texas public insurance adjusters, and we work for you. If your claim has been denied or underpaid, ask for a free review and bring the carrier's letter.

Questions

Questions about public adjusters in Dickinson

  • Standard Texas homeowners policies commonly exclude flood, which includes bayou overflow and storm surge. Flood coverage usually comes from a separate NFIP or private flood policy. Bring every policy you have to the free review, and we will tell you which one fits each part of your loss.

  • Galveston County properties may carry windstorm coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. That can change who pays for hurricane wind damage and how the deductible is figured. Your declarations page shows what you have. We read it with you before we say anything about a claim.

  • Photograph every room and every roof slope before repairs, including areas that look fine. Capture any water marks on walls and note the date. Keep receipts for tarps, board-up and drying. If wind and water both reached your home, record each separately so the cause of each loss is clear.

  • We work on contingency. The fee is an agreed percentage of the recovery, set out in a written contract before work begins. You pay no fee up front, and there is no fee if there is no recovery. You can read the contract and ask questions before you decide.

  • Use the free claim review on this site or call us. Send the denial letter, the estimate and your policy. We compare the carrier's scope with an independent inspection and explain what we see. We cannot promise what a carrier will do, and policy deadlines apply, so act sooner rather than later.
