Claim Services
For Residential and Commercial Property Owners Looking To Maximize Their Claim
Get your Insurance Claims Approved!
Our experienced Network team has nearly 20 years of experience working with residential and commercial property owners, including HOA's, schools, apartments, manufacturing and churches. One recent school claim in 2025 was approved for $3.2 million. A 2024 residential claim went from $550,000 to $3.1 million, and we're not done with that one yet. At the end of 2024, we secured a $2.1 million settlement for a north suburban manufacturing facility. How? Years of experience and hard work!
It's difficult to find industry experts (subcontractors, engineers, meteorologists, insurance appraisers, attorneys) to support contractors and property owners, but we work with some of the best in the industry. Even better, Contractors Network and Training Center and Chicago Large Claim Public Adjusters never charges property owners a penny!

Case Studies of Successful Claims
City of Chicago School Hail Claim
When one of our contractor partners contacted us regarding a school’s hail damage, we stepped in to take charge. After extensive core cuts, supported by engineering and meteorology reports, we engaged in numerous adjuster meetings, tirelessly advocating for the school. Despite facing repeated denials from an international insurance carrier, our determination paid off as we secured a $3.2 million award. These proceeds ensure that the school can continue to provide a safe and healthy environment for more than 300 children and families. This enormous win highlights our commitment to community support!
South Suburb Residential Water Claim
In another instance, we were invited to assist when negotiations with the insurance carrier stalled at $500,000. Recognizing the value and potential for a much higher payout, we dove in with our dedicated Xactimate services and constructed a detailed 250-page scope that meticulously outlined the necessary repairs. Our thoroughness helped us secure an additional $2.1 million for the contractor and property owner. This experience underscores the importance of being able to navigate all aspects of the insurance industry, working with the carriers, and collaborating within our network. Each story fuels our passion and success!
North Suburb Manufacturer Hail Claim
Initially brought in with no coverage extended, we quickly assembled our team of experts to provide strategic meteorology and engineering reports. By thoroughly analyzing the details and engaging the insurance carrier assertively, we secured an additional $2.3 million for the property owner. Remarkably, this claim moved swiftly from filing to final build-out—a modified bitumen roof—within a few months, showcasing our capability to expedite processes while achieving outstanding results. It’s a testament to our deep-seated belief that expertise and action lead to remarkable recoveries!
West Suburb Fitness Center Physical Damage and Water Claim
When we engaged with a fitness center facing uncertainty around their claim, we began with no coverage extended. Our efforts culminated in securing over $750,000 for the property owner, addressing exterior and interior and water damage. Our services also involved navigating the carrier's engineering objections, while tackling the complexities of a solar panel array during the final build-out.
West Suburb Apartment and Office Hail Claim
Another case exemplifies our tenacity and expertise. Arriving at a property where coverage had initially been denied, we advocated for a claim despite another company advising against it. After multiple assessments by the carrier’s engineers, we secured a claim exceeding $450,000 for the owner, demonstrating the strength of our case and the value we provide.

Types of Claims
We can help contractors with three different types of claims, small or large.
New Claims
Denied Claims
Re-Adjusted Claims
Our Large Network For property Owners and Contractors
Policy Reviews
Property owners will need assistance reviewing their insurance policies. Our public adjusters have handled thousands of insurance claims, meaning we've read thousands of policies in depth. This review includes all coverages, along with endorsements or exclusions that may affect the claim, as well as other critical information. This is our very first step is to make sure you'll win on your claim!
Valuations
To properly handle a claim, the property’s value must be established. This ensures no deductions on the claim. Valuations are necessary to ensure co-insurance clauses are met, and to prevent any deductions on the settlement.
Meteorologists
Insurance companies love to argue, and they love to bring in their own experts to deny your claim. We have independent meteorologists who will verify storm dates for your property, creating reports that detail the important information of that storm, including all relevant weather information in the surrounding area on your date of loss.
Property Inspections
Our Network includes HAAG certified inspectors, along with experienced roofers, masons, plumbers, and electricians who specialize in code compliance. Their combined expertise will help create the estimate to bring the property back up to code — prior to restoration.
Estimates
We have a Network of estimators and industry specialists who combine their experience to write fully maximized Xactimate® estimates, including city ordinances and code compliance documentation. This will maximize the payout from the insurance company and allow your contractor to help return you to pre-loss condition!
Adjuster Meetings
Our Network adjusters will meet with you first, in person or over Zoom, going over all the specifics of the claim, including the process, the timeline, and the expected results.
Engineers
Insurance companies often use engineers to deny valid claims. To counterbalance, we have our own Network engineers to prove our case. Our experts focus on the actual claim damage, detailing every aspect of damage that your policy is required to pay.
Appraisers
If we recommend appraisal (when the insurance company is underpaying), we have a Network of experienced appraisers to help property owners receive the proper dollar amount for all damage to your property. Our appraisers are certified by the IAUA and win on 98% of claims they appraise. In other words, we know what we're doing.
Attorneys
Lawsuits are always the last resort, but our Network has one of the most well-known insurance law firms in the industry available for your case, should legal action be required. Best of all, they don't charge a retainer! You'll find 99% of most well-known firms won't touch a case unless money is paid up front. That's not the case with our Network. Our attorneys will take the case and keep moving everything forward until final settlement.
Systems & Processes
While we've helped many hundreds of property owners, we've purposely remained small to help offer the personal touch, with our experienced PA's handling the claims directly, not a back office!
