A practice built around one question
Most claim professionals do a bit of everything. We chose to specialize. Ohio Insurance Appraiser works on the amount of loss — what the damage actually costs to put right — and our inspections, estimates and reports are built to answer that question clearly enough for everyone at the table to check.
That focus lets us serve in three roles: as the appraiser you name after appraisal is demanded, as a reviewer who audits an insurer’s estimate before a dispute hardens, or as a neutral umpire on panels where we represent neither side.
How we work
- Scope before numbers. We inspect and measure before we read anyone else’s estimate.
- Supportable, not inflated. An inflated number loses credibility with an umpire. We price what we can back up with photos, measurements and local costs.
- Plain-English reports. You’ll see every difference between our valuation and the insurer’s, line by line.
- Honest triage. If a claim needs an attorney or a public adjuster instead, we say so on the first call.
- Fees in writing. You know the cost before any work starts.
Who we work with
Homeowners, condo owners, landlords, HOA boards, property managers, churches, business owners, contractors, public adjusters and attorneys across Ohio. On any claim we serve in one role only, and we disclose prior dealings with the other appraiser or the umpire.
What we are not
We aren’t a law firm and don’t give legal advice. We don’t act as public adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims outside the appraisal process. No honest appraiser can guarantee an outcome, and we don’t.
Why statewide
Ohio’s weather changes a lot between the snowbelt, the northwest farm country, the Columbus suburbs, the Miami Valley and the Appalachian southeast. Working in all 88 counties means we see every kind of loss the state produces — ice dams in Geauga County, hail in Franklin County, tornadoes near Dayton, ice storms around Zanesville — and price each with local knowledge.
