Local facts that shape property risk.
Storm documentation gaps
Carriers lean on wear and cosmetic arguments; storm-created damage still must be isolated with photos, moisture readings, and repair history.
Water intrusion paths
Roof leaks meeting plumbing or condensate failures cascade quickly — document the path early.
Condo / HOA & commercial
Master vs. unit allocation and commercial BI questions hide underpayment when documentation is incomplete.

What hits Westerly properties
The losses we document most often.
Coastal / tropical wind & rain
Bands across Washington County fail roofs, windows, and cladding — prolonged rain then drives water past openings.
Hail & severe thunderstorms
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.

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 Westerly?
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.
