We work for you
Our duty is to the policyholder throughout the claim—not to the insurance company.
About Adjust First
The claim team behind the policyholder.
Adjust First combines public adjusting, construction, insurance, appraisal, contents, estimating, and client-support experience to manage serious residential and commercial property claims.
Who we are
Comprehensive claim management experts.
Adjust First is a team of licensed public insurance adjusters and claim professionals who represent policyholders—not insurance companies. Our role is to understand the policy, document the complete loss, organize the evidence, and negotiate the claim.
Serious losses often require more than one kind of experience. Our team draws on insurance, construction, restoration, estimating, contents, appraisal, and client coordination to build a clearer and better-supported claim presentation.
We document the loss
Building damage, contents, additional living expenses, business impacts, and other applicable coverages are evaluated.
We manage the details
We coordinate the claim presentation and communicate with the carrier so the insured is not left navigating the process alone.
Leadership and team
Experience across claims and construction.
