Only in Gallup
Local facts that shape property risk.
Carriers lean on wear and cosmetic arguments; storm-created damage still must be isolated with photos, moisture readings, and repair history.
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 Gallup properties
The losses we document most often.
Hail & severe thunderstorms
Hail cores across McKinley County bruise shingles, crack tiles, dent soft metals, and open leak paths carriers call cosmetic.
Straight-line wind & storms
Severe wind lifts coverings, fails flashings, and starts water paths — especially on aging roof stock.
Water intrusion & plumbing
Roof leaks meeting condensate or supply-line failures cascade through homes and rentals — document early.
Commercial, retail & multifamily
Retail, warehouses, and apartments take large open spans — scopes grow when decking, HVAC, and BI enter the file.

Text an adjusterHow long does an insurer have to decide my claim in New Mexico?
New Mexico doesn’t set a fixed number of days for most homeowners claims. Under NMSA § 59A-16-20, insurers must acknowledge and act reasonably promptly on claim communications and affirm or deny coverage within a reasonable time after you complete and submit the policy’s proof of loss requirements. Educational orientation — not legal advice.
What does a public adjuster review cost in New Mexico?
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 New Mexico license 20497788 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 hail, wind, or monsoon claims in Gallup?
Yes. High-desert hail, wind, and monsoon water intrusion claims are common New Mexico work. 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.
