Opposing appraiser held this claim at $8,481.81.
We kept pushing.
Final appraisal award: $257,059.72
That’s a $248,577.91 increase — on the same loss.
This wasn’t about “inflating” anything.
The original estimate simply didn’t reflect the full scope of work required to properly restore the property.
That’s the difference between:
Accepting the first number
vs
Forcing the correct scope through the appraisal process
Most people don’t realize how often this happens.
If your claim feels underpaid, there’s usually a reason.
