Roof leaks meeting plumbing or condensate failures cascade quickly — document the path early.
Master vs. unit allocation and commercial BI questions hide underpayment when documentation is incomplete.
What hits Biddeford properties
The losses we document most often.
Coastal / tropical wind & rain

Hail and straight-line wind bruise shingles, crack tiles, dent soft metals, and open leak paths carriers call cosmetic.
Water intrusion & plumbing
Roof leaks meeting condensate or supply-line failures cascade through homes and rentals — document early.
Commercial, retail & multifamily
Retail, hospitality, and apartments take the same wind and water — plus business-income questions.

Questions people ask before hiring.
Deadlines, fees, HOA vs. unit coverage, and underpaid files — start with a free review, or text us now.
Text an adjusterHow long does an insurer have to pay my claim in Maine?
Under 24-A M.R.S. § 2436, an undisputed claim is generally payable within 30 days after proof of loss is received and the loss is ascertained, or 60 days for the fire portion of a multi-peril policy. A written request for reasonable additional information can extend the time. Overdue undisputed amounts bear interest at 1½% per month. Educational orientation — not legal advice.
What does a public adjuster review cost in Maine?
The claim review is free. If we take your claim, fees and services are explained in a written agreement before representation. We work under published Maine license ADN545289 and confirm current status before engagement.
My HOA or condo has a master-policy claim — do I still need my own?
Often yes. Master-policy repairs may cover common elements while your unit interior or improvements still sit on an HO-6 or homeowners form. We help sort association vs. unit documentation.
Can you help with wind, ice, or water claims in Biddeford?
Yes. Maine coastal wind, ice dam, and water claims need careful scopes. Bring photos, the estimate, and your declarations page.
Can you help after I have already been paid?
Underpaid and partially paid claims are a core part of our work. Bring the estimate, payment breakdown, denial or partial-payment letter, photos, and policy. A review does not guarantee an additional check.
