Insurance Claims

Objective evaluation from licensed insurance adjusters

How can Caromark help if I have a claim, or think I may have one?

We can help you navigate the insurance process. Because we are licensed adjusters, we can help you competently handle your claim and get your home restored quickly and with master craftsmanship. Caromark is experienced in restoration projects for homeowners and we are licensed insurance adjusters. We know the insurance process and can guide you through it with proper expectations.

Can I choose my restoration contractor?

Yes, you have the right to choose the contractor to perform insurance claim work. This is an important fact because some insurance companies have “preferred contractors” that rely on their referrals at pre-determined pricing. This relationship between insurance companies and restoration contractors can result in a conflict of interest. Caromark works solely for the homeowner.

Can you bill my insurance directly?

Yes, we can bill your insurance company directly for damage covered by your policy.

I do not understand my insurance estimate. Please explain the payment process.

If you have replacement cost coverage on your property then the amount of depreciation noted on the estimate includes an amount that is recoverable should your costs for repairs exceed the Actual Cash Value amount paid. Therefore when you send your insurance company proof that the damaged property has been repaired or replaced and you have incurred the full Replacement Cost amount allowed, they will send you a check for the Amount of Depreciation noted in the estimate.

They may require you to send invoices, cancelled checks and/or other documents as proof within 180 days of the prepared estimate. The claim will be considered final and closed after that date. However, if further damage is found after the claim is closed, it can be reopened and a supplemental claim submitted. Since this damage would be considered part of the original loss, there would not be another deductible applied.

Please note

If you pay more than the amount listed as Full Cost of Repair/Replacement, you may be responsible for paying the difference. If you pay less, you will receive only the amount it actually cost to repair or replace the property, less your deductible. Any unused money cannot be applied to another item.

  • “Caromark was an absolute lifesaver for me. After my home was hit by a car, I found myself in a new town without any local contacts or guidance. … Dara and Bob took over everything from there. They handled all communication with the insurance company and clearly knew the process.”

    Neeraja Meghadri Google review · 5 months ago
  • “Caromark was great to work with when our house was damaged by a car running into our garage. I called Caromark in a complete frantic and both Bobby and Dara were great. They had someone at my house within hours to make sure our house was safe and secure.”
