Louisiana Commercial Public Adjuster

We've Been Through Louisiana Storms With Property Owners Before

After Katrina, Ida and the many other storms Louisiana has endured, we've seen firsthand what commercial property owners face in the aftermath. We've worked through the chaos of damaged buildings, extensive water intrusion, roofing losses, wind damage, business interruption concerns and the countless details that have to be documented when a major commercial property loss occurs.

If you own commercial property in Louisiana, you don't need us to explain what a hurricane can do. You've watched the forecasts. You've prepared your property. You've moved equipment, protected what you could and hoped the storm would turn... and sometimes it didn't.

When a hurricane makes landfall, the damage can be overwhelming. Roofs are torn open, windows are broken, water gets inside, and HVAC systems are damaged. Building materials are saturated. Contents are destroyed. And sometimes the property is left without power or usable space for days, weeks or longer.

Then there's the insurance claim....and we've learned something important over all those years:

The damage you can see is rarely the entire claim.

A roof may be damaged, but what happened underneath it? Did water reach insulation, decking, ceilings, walls, electrical systems or equipment? Did wind and rain create damage in areas that weren't immediately obvious? Were multiple buildings or business operations affected?

These questions matter when you're dealing with a commercial property insurance claim.

When the Storm Is Over, the Claim Begins

You may have spent years building your business and maintaining your property. After a major Louisiana storm, you're suddenly dealing with contractors, restoration companies, tenants, employees, damaged inventory, temporary operations and an insurance company evaluating your loss.

Then the first estimate or offer arrives. What happens when it doesn't come close to what you know it will take to recover?

This is when experience matters—and when you need someone on your side.

Building Damage Consultants has years of experience helping commercial property owners navigate the aftermath of major Louisiana losses. We work directly for the policyholder to evaluate the property, identify damage, document the loss, develop the scope of the claim and properly present the commercial insurance claim.

We specialize in commercial claims, and we're built for better outcomes.

Our experience with complex commercial property claims has produced significant differences between initial claim values and the amounts ultimately established:

$300,000 → $5 Million
Commercial dealership claim

$348,500 → $1.606 Million
Apartment complex claim

$161,500 → $508,000
Church claim

$0 → $1.6 Million
Multi-purpose building claim

These results are not a promise of what any particular commercial property claim will be worth. Every property, insurance policy and loss is different.

They do demonstrate why a thorough evaluation of commercial property damage matters—and why the first number isn't always the last word on the value of the loss.

When you're dealing with hurricane damage, wind damage, roof damage, water damage, fire damage or another significant commercial property loss, the goal isn't simply to identify what's visibly damaged. The claim needs to reflect the full scope of the loss., and that's what we aim to provide with our Public Adjusting. That's what we mean by Built for Better Outcomes.

You've Been Through the Storm. Don't Navigate the Claim Alone.

If you've received an insurance estimate or settlement offer that doesn't appear to account for the full extent of your commercial property damage, it may be time to have the claim reviewed.

Building Damage Consultants works directly for the policyholder—not the insurance company.
