Storm Damage Insurance Claims | Long Island Public Adjuster?

Storm and wind damage public adjuster on Long Island. We handle wind, hail, hurricane and tornado damage insurance claims — documenting everything to maximize your settlement. Call 516-410-0164.

How do I prove roof damage is from wind vs. old age?

Insurance companies often try to deny roof claims as "wear and tear." We use weather data reports from sources like NOAA and expert roof inspections to prove that the specific damage (missing shingles, lifted tabs) was caused by a recent storm event.

What is a Hurricane Deductible?

In Long Island, many policies have a separate deductible for "Named Storms" (often 2-5% of the home's value). We calculate this for you to see if filing a storm claim makes financial sense.

Does insurance cover damage to my fence?

Fences are typically covered under "Other Structures" coverage (Coverage B), usually at Actual Cash Value (depreciated value). If a tree falls on your fence, we can help you file for the repair or replacement.

What is a storm damage insurance claim?

A storm damage insurance claim is a formal request to your insurer for repairs or replacement after wind, hail, fallen trees, tornado, hurricane, or nor'easter damage. It should cover structural damage, interior water infiltration, roof and siding repair, and temporary living expenses if your home is uninhabitable. Long Island Public Adjusters documents the full scope and negotiates your settlement. Call 516-410-0164 for a free review.

Why You Need a Public Adjuster for Storm Damage Claims

After a major storm, insurance companies are flooded with claims and often rush through assessments. This leads to undervalued settlements and missed damage that may not become apparent for months.

Storm damage can affect your roof, siding, windows, and interior in ways that aren't immediately obvious. High winds can compromise roof integrity even without visible missing shingles, and water infiltration can lead to mold and structural damage over time.

As your public adjuster, we conduct thorough inspections after storms, document all damage, and ensure your claim reflects the true cost of proper repairs — not just a quick patch job.

Our Research Center explains why compressed post-storm claim volume can make a careful review especially important. Read our analysis of the Catastrophe Adjuster Effect.

Our methods

How We Inspect Your Damage

The insurer's estimate is only as good as its inspection. Ours is built to find what theirs leaves out.

1. Thermal imaging
On every water and fire job we scan walls, ceilings and floors with a thermal camera to find hidden moisture you can't see.
2. Moisture readings
We confirm what the camera shows with moisture meter readings and record them, so wet areas are documented, not guessed.
3. Photo documentation
Every damaged area is photographed and labeled room by room, so the insurer can't say an item wasn't damaged.
4. Line-by-line Xactimate estimate
We write our own estimate in Xactimate — the same software insurers use — priced at real Long Island rates.
5. Side-by-side comparison
We compare our estimate to the insurer's line by line and show every missing item and low price, then negotiate the difference.
