⚖️ How Public Adjusters Fit Into the Process

A licensed public adjuster represents the homeowner — not the insurance company.
Some homeowners choose to involve a public adjuster when damage is complex, coverage is disputed, or a second opinion is desired.

When a public adjuster is involved:

Each role remains independent.

We work professionally and cooperatively with all parties.

Our focus remains on accurate inspections, documentation, and repairs.

Not every claim requires a public adjuster, and homeowners always decide what approach is right for them.

🧠 Why Some Homeowners Choose a Public Adjuster

An independent public adjuster may be helpful if:

1

Coverage is disputed or unclear

2

Damage appears more extensive than initially identified

3

Multiple trades or complex repairs are involved

4

You want a second opinion on the insurance scope

5

You feel unsure about next steps

Not every claim requires a public adjuster — and we are always transparent about that.

🤝 How This Works With Our Role

If a homeowner chooses to involve a licensed public adjuster, our team works professionally and cooperatively with all parties involved.

Each role remains independent:

1

Insurance company adjuster

→ represents the carrier

2

Public adjuster

→ represents the homeowner

3

Twin Bridge Roofing and Construction

→ performs inspections, documentation, and repairs

Our focus remains on accurate storm damage evaluation and quality restoration work.

Twin Bridge Roofing and Construction does not represent insurance carriers or public adjusters and does not determine insurance coverage. Insurance claim outcomes are subject to policy terms and carrier decisions.
