When a hurricane hits Florida, the aftermath can be overwhelming, damaged roofs, flooded rooms, fallen trees, and a long to-do list. One of the biggest questions homeowners have is: “How soon after hurricane damage should I call a public adjuster?”
The short answer: as soon as possible.
At FLAPA (Florida Public Adjusting), we recommend contacting a public adjuster right after the storm, even before the insurance company sends their adjuster. Acting quickly protects your claim and ensures nothing gets missed.
Why Timing Matters
Hurricane damage claims are time-sensitive. The sooner you call a public adjuster:
- Damage Is Freshly Documented – Photos, videos, and inspections are more accurate right after the storm.
- No Missed Details – Early inspections catch hidden damage (like water behind walls or under the roof).
- Faster Claim Process – The sooner you start, the sooner you can get paid and start repairs.
- Less Stress – Having a professional handle the claim early means fewer headaches for you.
Waiting too long can lead to lowball offers or denials because evidence fades and insurance companies may claim the damage worsened due to delay.
