Need an independent review of a property damage claim?
Property Damage Assessment Services
Our property assessments provide a detailed review of the physical damage and the work reasonably required to restore the affected property. Each assignment may include an inspection, estimate analysis, photographic review, repair-scope evaluation, and examination of relevant claim documents.
We assist with claims involving:
● Fire and smoke damage
● Water and mold damage
● Wind and storm damage
● Structural damage
● Construction or design defects
● Residential and commercial properties
Each assessment is based on documented conditions, available evidence, and practical knowledge of property restoration and insurance claims.
Large Loss Review Services
Large and complex property claims require careful attention to repair scopes, pricing, documentation, and the relationship between the claimed work and the reported damage. Our large loss review services help evaluate substantial claims involving homes, hotels, commercial buildings, and other properties.
The review may address labor and material costs, repair methods, depreciation, contractor proposals, historical estimates, and supporting records. Our goal is to help clients understand which costs are reasonably supported by the documented property damage.
Property Damage Appraisal Services
When the parties disagree about the amount of a property loss, appraisal can provide a structured path toward resolution. Our property damage appraisal services include an independent review of the damage, repair scope, competing estimates, Replacement Cost, Actual Cash Value, and other valuation details.
As an experienced property damage appraiser, Everette Associates LLC can identify differences between estimates, evaluate disputed items, and present findings based on the available evidence. Umpire support is also available when appraisers cannot agree on the amount of loss.
Claim and Estimate Analysis
A submitted estimate or reimbursement demand may contain costs that require closer examination. We review the claim to determine whether the listed work, quantities, materials, pricing, and depreciation are consistent with the documented loss.
Our analysis can help clarify:
● The reasonable cost of documented repairs
● Differences between competing estimates
● Replacement Cost and Actual Cash Value calculations
● Whether claimed expenses relate to the reported damage
● Amounts requested through liability or subrogation claims
● Missing, duplicated, or unsupported estimate items

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is actually owed on a property damage or liability claim?
The amount depends on the documented damage, reasonable repair costs, depreciation, liability, and
applicable policy or legal terms. An independent assessment can identify which claimed expenses are
supported by the evidence.
What is the difference between Replacement Cost and Actual Cash Value?
Replacement Cost generally reflects the cost of replacing damaged property with comparable materials.
Actual Cash Value usually accounts for depreciation. The applicable policy and claim circumstances
determine which valuation applies.
How do I select a qualified property damage appraiser?
Look for experience in property claims, restoration, construction, estimating, appraisal, and dispute
resolution. The appraiser should remain impartial, review the relevant documentation, and
communicate the findings clearly.
