Why Working With a Public Adjuster Saves You Time and Paperwork
As a contractor, your time is best spent on the jobsite—not buried in insurance paperwork. But too often, insurance-funded projects come with headaches: confusing scopes, low estimates, delays in approvals, and long back-and-forths with adjusters.
That’s where a public adjuster makes all the difference.
At Gavnat Public Insurance Adjusters, we act as the expert advocate for the property owner, but we’re also a strategic partner to contractors. Our job? Handle the paperwork, speed up the claim process, and get accurate scopes issued—so you can get to work faster.
Here’s how we help contractors save time and stress:
- We handle all communication with the carrier.
No more chasing down adjusters or explaining project needs—we take care of all correspondence, documentation, and claim negotiations. - We produce detailed, scope-accurate estimates.
Our team ensures scopes reflect code upgrades, soft costs, and fair pricing. You won’t waste time supplementing for things that should’ve been included from the start. - We reduce change orders and delays.
When the scope is done right, you don’t need to pause for surprise approvals or risk being underpaid mid-project. - We explain the policy for you.
We help the homeowner understand what’s covered, what’s not, and why. That means fewer misunderstandings for you down the road.
Bottom line:
Partnering with a public adjuster gets your projects approved faster, reduces scope friction, and lets you focus on what you do best—building.
Top Questions Contractors Ask About Public Adjusters—Answered
To help understand Gavnat’s value, we’ve answered the most common questions we hear from general contractors:
Q: Are you just for the homeowner?
A: We work on behalf of the policyholder, but we support the contractor, too. Our job is to get the full scope approved quickly and fairly so you can get to work without surprises or scope battles.
Q: Do you slow things down?
A: The opposite. We move claims forward by communicating with the carrier, submitting expert documentation, and giving all required notices. With us on board, claims usually resolve faster.
Q: Do you refer work out?
A: Yes—when we know a contractor who delivers quality and communicates well. We refer work to our trusted partners, especially when homeowners need help selecting someone after a loss.
Q: Can we both be involved without crossing legal lines?
A: Absolutely. We never tell a homeowner who to hire, but we can suggest they consider qualified contractors we’ve worked with—just as you can suggest they talk to a public adjuster if the claim gets complicated.
Q: What’s the cost?
A: We work on contingency and only get paid if we secure a settlement. In fact, partnering with us can help you increase profitability by ensuring full scopes and fewer delays.
