Severe weather moved through Defuniak Springs yesterday, and we’re already receiving calls from homeowners in affected areas.

I’m heading out today to inspect properties and meet with homeowners who’ve already reached out after the storm.

Right now, we’re handling multiple denied and underpaid storm claims from the Freeport/Hammock Bay area — including around 10 clients in one neighborhood alone.

A lot of claims don’t fall short because there’s no damage. They fall short because the damage wasn’t documented correctly from the start.

If your home was affected by yesterday’s storms, don’t wait until small issues become major problems.

Message me directly if you need help.

If you’re a roofer or property manager in the Florida Panhandle… this matters.

Most claims don’t go sideways because of the damage—
they go sideways because of how they’re handled.

That’s where I come in.

If you find roof damage on an inspection…
or you’re dealing with a water loss, overflow, or fire damage…

I take over the claim from start to finish.

No chasing adjusters.
No back and forth.
No headaches.

You take care of your customers…
I’ll handle the insurance company.

Most homeowners think if the damage is there… the insurance company will pay for it.

That’s not how this works.

I’ve seen claims with real, obvious damage come back:
→ underpaid
→ partially denied
→ or written as “repair only”

Not because the damage wasn’t there…

But because the claim wasn’t built the right way.

Missing documentation.
Incomplete scope.
Bad estimating.
No connection to policy coverage.

That’s where most claims fall short.

I spent 10+ years on the insurance company side handling thousands of claims. I know exactly what gets approved… and what gets overlooked.

If you’ve already filed a claim, or you’re thinking about it — have it reviewed the right way before it’s too late.

No cost to have it reviewed.
No pressure to move forward.

Most people don’t even know this is an option.

If you’ve got damage — roof, water, fire — you don’t have to deal with the insurance company alone.

I handle the entire process so nothing gets missed.

Free inspection. No pressure.

Message me or call 850-585-2009.

I inspected this roof after a denied hail claim and found hail and wind damage that deserved a second look.

If your claim is still open — or you received a denial — get in touch. My inspection is completely no cost.

If I find damage, we move forward. Simple as that.

It’s been a really good week for Panhandle Public Adjusting & our team. I’ve brought on multiple new clients who are sitting with clear and present damage, whether it be water/plumbing to hail/wind, and they’re either being denied or underpaid. Not on my watch.

We advocate for those who aren’t able to do so. The homeowner. Business owner. And the claim is handled by our firm from the cradle to the grave. Like the recent Freeport tornado on March 12th, I have a handful of clients there, with one already getting a settlement of $21,000 for a full roof replacement.

If you have damage now, or in the future, give me a call before you call your insurance company. If I don’t get you a settlement, we don’t make a cent.

Some March 12 tornado claims in Freeport and Hammock Bay were initially treated like they were too small to matter.

At least one of them ended with a payout of over $21,000.

That is exactly why proper inspection, documentation, and claim evaluation matter. Just because a loss is called “under deductible” does not always mean the damage is minor.

If your home was hit in the March 12 storm and something about the outcome does not feel right, reach out.
