South Kingstown FAQ
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 decide my claim in Rhode Island?
Under 230-RICR-20-40-2.7, an insurer generally must accept or deny a property claim within 21 days after receiving proof of loss, in writing with the policy provision for any denial. If it needs more time, it must notify you within 21 days and every 45 days after that. Educational orientation — not legal advice.
What does a public adjuster review cost in Rhode Island?
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 Rhode Island license 3004206535 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, coastal, or water claims in South Kingstown?
Yes. Rhode Island coastal wind and water claims often turn on documentation of openings and the water path. 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.
