When an insurance claim doesn’t reflect the true scope of damage, it’s easy to feel stuck or unsure of what comes next. Team Riley guides policyholders and contractors through the appraisal process to bring clarity, accuracy, and fair resolution — all within the terms of the policy.

How the Appraisal Process Works

Who We Help

Policyholders

If your insurance settlement doesn’t reflect the true extent of damage, appraisal provides a clear path forward — without litigation or prolonged disputes.

We help ensure:

  • Damage is fully and accurately evaluated

  • Policy provisions are properly applied

  • Settlements reflect the real cost of repair or replacement

Contractors

When an insurance estimate doesn’t align with the work required, appraisal helps establish an accurate scope and reduces friction in the claims process.

We support contractors by:

  • Validating legitimate scopes of work

  • Providing an objective resolution framework

  • Helping claims move forward with clarity

When Insurance Claims Don’t Add Up

After storm or property damage, you expect your insurance coverage to help you move forward. But many claims fall short — approving minor repairs when full replacement is warranted, or overlooking damage that clearly exists.

This leaves homeowners and contractors in a difficult position:

  • Repairs can’t move forward

  • Estimates don’t match reality

  • The process feels confusing and one-sided

You shouldn’t have to accept an outcome that doesn’t reflect the true condition of your property.

You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone

Insurance policies include a built-in solution for situations like this — but most people aren’t told how or when to use it.

Team Riley Adjusting serves as a steady, experienced guide through the insurance appraisal process. We understand how claims are evaluated, how damage should be documented, and how to bring clarity when there’s disagreement over scope or cost.

Our role isn’t to create conflict — it’s to help the process work the way it’s supposed to.

A Clear, Policy-Backed Path Forward

Appraisal is a formal process outlined in your insurance policy to resolve disputes over the value of a claim.

Here’s how it works:

Review the Claim

We assess the loss and the insurance estimate to identify where the scope or valuation may fall short.

Invoke Appraisal

Each side appoints an independent appraiser, as allowed by the policy.

Independent Evaluation

The appraisers inspect the damage, compare findings, and work toward agreement.

Resolution

Once appraisal is complete, the agreed scope and estimate are binding under the policy.

No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just clarity.

Waiting Can Make Things Harder

Underpaid claims often stall repairs, create uncertainty, and lead to prolonged frustration. Without clarity, homeowners are left guessing — and contractors are left navigating mismatched expectations.

The appraisal process exists to prevent exactly that.

Confidence, Clarity, and a Path Forward

When appraisal is used correctly:

  • Damage is evaluated objectively

  • Scope and cost are clearly defined

  • Claims are resolved according to the policy

  • Repairs can move forward with confidence

Our goal is simple: help you move from uncertainty to resolution.
