“I didn’t know Public Adjusters existed!” It’s something United Public Adjusters & Appraisers hears every week from new clients, especially high-net-worth homeowners and commercial property owners: “I had no idea Public Adjusters were even a thing.” Unfortunately, by the time they find us, they’ve usually:
- Hired a contractor or cleanup company
- Accepted a lowball insurance estimate
- Started repairs without proper documentation
- Lost time, money, and trust in the process
And almost all of them say the same thing in hindsight: “I wish I had called you first.” In this posting, United Public Adjusters & Appraisers, a leading New York public adjuster will acquaint you with the wide range of services we provide for our high-net-worth clients who have experienced property damage to your residence or business premises and have begun your property damage insurance claim process. Even if you have not had a disruptive experience, there are advantages to having our phone number in your contacts list. Read on to learn why.
Why Most People Don’t Know About Public Adjusters
The insurance industry doesn’t exactly roll out a red carpet for us. Here’s why Public Adjusters aren’t top of mind:
- Insurers don’t advertise us — because we cost them money
- Contractors and remediation companies want the first call
- Brokers and agents aren’t incentivized to connect clients with advocates
- Search engines are cluttered with vendor ads, not advocates
So, when you need to prepare and submit a property damage claim, most policyholders think: “My insurance company will take care of it,” or “My contractor is handling it.” Neither is fully true, and that’s the danger, one that could end up costing you, the policyholder, thousands, even millions of dollars.

You Already Have a Contractor — So Why Do You Need a Public Adjuster?
You may think that because you have already hired someone to perform the renovations/repairs/rebuild that you have all the personnel the task requires. But you don’t. That’s because your contractor doesn’t:
- Understand your policy
- Know what should be covered under code compliance
- Have legal standing to negotiate your insurance settlement
Capsule Summary: Your contractor builds. Whereas United Public Adjusters & Appraisers, as your New York public adjuster, is your advocate throughout your property damage claim process. It is our team that makes certain that your insurance company pays what it actually costs to rebuild your property the right way.
Example: The $180K Mistake
One client suffered smoke and water damage from an electrical fire.
They called a cleanup company and their contractor.
The insurance company offered $265,000, and they accepted.
Three months later, they learned about the existence of Public Adjusters and contacted the UPA team after realizing they couldn’t afford to repair key areas of their home.
We reviewed their policy and the actual damage — and determined the real claim value was over $440,000.
But it was too late to fight.
Demo had been done. Documentation was missing. The payout was final.
