Public Adjusters Serving Apalachicola, Florida

Helping Homeowners and Business Owners Get the Settlements They Deserve

A Trusted Advocate for Property Owners in Apalachicola

Apalachicola is a gem on Florida’s Forgotten Coast, known for its historic charm, oyster boats, and quiet waterfront living. But for all its beauty, life in Apalachicola comes with a cost: frequent tropical storms, hurricane threats, and the daily wear and tear that coastal environments bring to homes and businesses.

When damage strikes, insurance companies often delay, deny, or underpay valid claims. At Allegiant Public Adjusters, we stand in your corner. We are licensed professionals who represent you—not the insurance company—and we fight to make sure you get the full amount you’re owed under your policy.

Whether you’re dealing with hurricane damage, flooding, a fire, or mold, we’re here to help you get back on your feet with confidence.

Why Hire a Public Adjuster in Apalachicola?

After you file a claim, your insurance company sends their own adjuster. That adjuster works for them, not for you. Their goal? To limit payouts and protect the insurer’s bottom line.

A public adjuster, on the other hand, works exclusively for you, the policyholder. At Allegiant Public Adjusters, we:

• Inspect and document all damage
• Review your insurance policy in detail
• Prepare and file your claim properly
• Handle all communications with the insurance company
• Negotiate the maximum possible settlement

If your claim has been underpaid, delayed, or denied, we can step in and reopen it. And if you're just getting started, we can manage the claim from day one.

Local Experience You Can Count On

✅ Deep Knowledge of Franklin County Homes

We understand the architectural history of Apalachicola—from historic wood-frame homes to waterfront condos and elevated cottages. Many properties here are aging, making them more vulnerable to damage and harder to evaluate fairly. We know what to look for—and how to ensure insurers don’t take shortcuts.

✅ Coastal Property Claim Experts

Living near the Gulf means higher exposure to wind-driven rain, storm surge, and saltwater corrosion. We’re well-versed in identifying coastal damage and fighting for every dollar in your coverage.

✅ No Upfront Cost

Our payment comes from a small percentage of what we recover for you—only if we’re successful. There’s no risk in having us review your claim.

What Types of Claims Do We Handle in Apalachicola?

Hurricane & Windstorm Damage

Apalachicola has seen the brunt of hurricanes like Michael and others. We’ve helped property owners file for:

• Roof damage
• Broken windows and doors
• Structural shifting or collapse
• Water intrusion
• Debris damage

Water & Flood Damage

Flooding—whether from storm surge, flash flooding, or plumbing failures—can devastate a home. We help determine if your policy covers the loss and how to prove it came from a covered cause, like wind-driven rain or burst pipes.

Roof Damage

Old roofs are common in Franklin County. After a storm, many insurers try to deny full replacement and offer only patch repairs. We fight for code upgrades and total replacement when appropriate.

Fire & Smoke Damage

Fires, whether caused by electrical issues, lightning, or human error, can destroy entire sections of a home. We help file claims for:

• Structural fire loss
• Smoke damage
• Soot cleanup
• Water damage from firefighting efforts

Mold & Hidden Damage

Mold can develop behind walls, under flooring, and in attics, especially in humid coastal areas. We help prove the mold was a result of a covered event, not “neglect.”

Business Interruption (for Commercial Clients)

If your Apalachicola restaurant, shop, or oyster business is shut down after a loss, we help recover lost income, repair costs, and extra expenses so you can reopen quickly.

We Help All Types of Property Owners in Apalachicola

Homeowners

Whether your house is your full-time residence or a vacation getaway, we fight to protect your investment after unexpected damage.

Landlords and Vacation Rental Owners

Short-term rental homes and Airbnbs need quick repairs and loss-of-rent compensation. We help file claims that reflect both property loss and business interruption.

Historic Property Owners

Many Apalachicola homes are over 100 years old. Insurers often undervalue damage due to the unique materials and craftsmanship involved. We ensure you get compensation for repairs that respect your home’s historic character.

Local Businesses

Whether you run a seafood restaurant, boutique, marina, or oyster processing facility, we help protect your commercial property and bottom line after damage.

Our Process

Step 1: Free Damage Inspection
We visit your property, document damage, and assess what your policy covers.

Step 2: Policy Review & Claim Strategy
We analyze your insurance policy and determine the best course of action, whether it’s filing a new claim or reopening an existing one.

Step 3: Claim Filing & Negotiation
We prepare detailed reports, handle adjuster meetings, and negotiate with the insurer so you don’t have to.

Step 4: Settlement & Payment
Once your claim is settled, we walk you through the details and ensure you understand how your payout can be used.

Denied or Underpaid Claim? We Can Help

Even if your insurer says "no," you may still be eligible for compensation. We can reopen claims if:

• You were paid too little
• Your claim was denied
• Damage has worsened since the original inspection
• The insurer misclassified the cause of loss

Florida law allows property owners to reopen certain claims for up to one year. Don’t wait—every day counts.
