Chicagoland Public Adjusters

We Fight Your Insurance Company So You Get Paid in Full

Storm, fire, and water damage claims across Chicagoland. We document the damage, negotiate with your insurer, and handle the paperwork.

Why Homeowners Call BDA

Insurance companies have adjusters on their side. Now you do too.

A public adjuster works for you, not the insurance company. We handle wind, hail, fire, and flood claims from the first free inspection to the final settlement check.

Serving homeowners across Chicagoland

From the North Shore to the south suburbs, we inspect, document, and fight property damage claims for homes across the metro. The first inspection is always free.

Every inch of damage, documented

We mark, measure, and photograph each hail strike, lifted shingle, and water stain, so the insurer can’t overlook anything your policy covers.

Negotiated until the number is right

Claims We Handle

Every kind of property claim, covered.

Whatever hit your home, one advocate handles the claim from the first free inspection to the final check, so you never have to argue with the insurance company yourself.

Free Claim Review

Hail & Wind Damage

Missing shingles, dented gutters, cracked siding. We document every impact before the insurer can call it wear and tear. It is the most common claim we win across Chicagoland.

Hail & wind claims

Fire & Smoke Damage

From structural loss to smoke and soot in every room, we inventory the full scope, including contents and additional living expenses most homeowners never claim.

Fire & smoke claims

Water & Flood Damage

Burst pipes, roof leaks, and storm water. We separate covered damage from exclusions and push for full mitigation and rebuild costs.

Denied or Underpaid Claims

Questions

What homeowners ask
before they call.

Straight answers about cost, timing, and how we work with your insurance company. Still unsure? Call and ask us directly.

01What does a public adjuster do?
A public adjuster is a licensed professional who works for you, not the insurance company. We inspect and document your damage, read your policy, prepare the claim, and negotiate with your insurer until the settlement reflects the real cost to repair or rebuild.
02How much does it cost?
The inspection and claim review are always free. If we take on your claim, we explain exactly how our fee works before you sign anything, so there are no surprises.
03Should I call you before or after I file a claim?
Ideally before. Calling us first means your damage is documented properly from day one. If you have already filed, we can still step in at any point in the process.
04Can you help if my claim was denied or underpaid?
Yes. Many of our clients come to us after a denial or a lowball offer. We review the decision, document what was missed, and reopen the claim.
05Will working with a public adjuster raise my premium?
Who represents you is not what sets your premium. Rates depend on your insurer, your claims history, and market conditions, and we will walk you through what to expect before you decide.
06How long does a claim take?
Most claims settle in a few weeks to a few months, depending on the damage and how quickly the insurer responds. We keep you updated at every step.
07Do you serve my area?
We serve homeowners across Chicagoland, including Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, McHenry, and Kendall counties.
