Initial Review
No two disputes are the same. Our team gathers the necessary facts to fully understand your specific situation. During a no-cost, pre-contract consultation, we will discuss these facts, outline possible outcomes, and help you determine if proceeding is in your best interest. We also work closely with you to ensure you understand every step of the appraisal process. From initial contact through final award, we remain responsive and transparent to all parties involved in the dispute.
Transparent Pricing
We prioritize transparent, upfront pricing. During our initial review, we provide a guaranteed fixed fee that will not increase, even if our operational costs exceed the fee amount. Please note that pricing may be adjusted based on time and expenses for complex assignments, such as commercial projects, water damage, fire damage, or steep and complex roofs.
Success
At Comprehensive Claim Appraisal, we define success as achieving a dispute resolution based on a scope of damage agreed upon by both appraisers. Our goal is to secure the funds necessary to restore property to its pre-loss condition, and our established track record demonstrates that we are the ideal partner for our clients’ needs.
Communication
By choosing Comprehensive Claim Appraisal, you are hiring a team of representatives dedicated to supporting you throughout the entire process. We prioritize clear communication—a standard many other companies overlook. From day one, we designate a specific team member as your direct point of contact. This ensures you have a dedicated person to speak with regarding the progress of your dispute, in the manner and frequency you prefer.
Speed
Resolving disputes involves coordinating multiple parties and managing extensive documentation through various stages. While a specific timeline for resolution cannot be guaranteed, Comprehensive Claim Appraisal is committed to efficiency. By utilizing advanced technology, we ensure the process is navigated accurately and progressed as promptly as possible.

Disputes happen, but they don’t have to lead to a stalemate. We provide the specialized appraisal and umpire services needed to bridge the gap between parties, ensuring a fair resolution based on facts, policy terms, and industry standards.
Claim Field Appraisal
On-site inspection and independent valuation of the insured loss.
