What We Guarantee
- Licensed adjusters. Every public adjuster on our staff is licensed by the State of Illinois, and we can show you the license.
- No upfront adjusting fee. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement, agreed in writing before we start. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.
- Honest first visit. If we do not believe a public adjuster will improve your claim, we will tell you at the free consultation.
- Written item by item contract. Every construction project is priced line by line so you can see what the insurance company is paying for and what you are choosing to add.
- Our own crews. The people who estimate the work are the people who do it.
- Permits and inspections. All work is performed under permit with the village, city, or county, and passes inspection before we call it done.
- Written warranty. All construction work is covered by a written warranty. When something needs attention after you move home, we come back.
- Licensed and insured. We carry the general liability and workers compensation coverage your lender, landlord, or association will ask to see.
