What is an Insurance Appraisal?
Fair. Accurate. Transparent
When a property damage claim leads to a disagreement about the cost of repairs or replacement, the insurance appraisal clause—often located in your policy’s Loss Settlement section—offers a fair and professional solution. An insurance appraisal provides a structured process for resolving valuation disputes between the policyholder and the insurance company. Instead of heading to court, both parties rely on trained professionals to determine the true value of the loss—saving time, money, and frustration.

Technology That Elevates Modern Appraisals
Accurate Estimating Software
Modern appraisers use trusted estimating platforms to produce detailed, itemized repair estimates. These systems rely on verified regional pricing data to ensure every material, labor, and equipment cost accurately reflects real-world market rates. This transparency helps eliminate confusion and promotes fairness in every step of the claims process.
Aerial Drone Imaging
Drone technology has transformed the way property damage is inspected. Aerial imaging provides clear, high-resolution visuals of roofs, elevations, and hard-to-reach areas—without the risks of climbing or invasive inspections. Drones help appraisers capture precise measurements, document conditions quickly, and maintain the highest safety and accuracy standards.
How the Appraisal Process Works
When a disagreement arises, both the policyholder and insurance company select independent appraisers to evaluate the loss. These appraisers inspect the property, review damage reports, and compare estimates before attempting to reach an agreement on the value of the claim.
If they can’t reach a consensus, they select a neutral umpire who makes the final, binding decision. The process focuses solely on determining how much a covered loss is worth—not whether it’s covered. This makes appraisal one of the most efficient, impartial ways to resolve property claim disputes.
