Roof, Storm, Water and Mold Damage Claims in Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres is inland, but storms still reach it. After Hurricane Ian, a National Weather Service station near Lehigh Acres recorded 14.42 inches of rain from September 26 to 29, 2022. Most of the Lehigh Acres claims we handle fall into four groups, and each one has its own coverage fight.
Roof damage claims in Lehigh Acres
Wind lifts shingles, cracks tiles and opens the roof to rain. Insurers often answer with “wear and tear” or “old roof.” We inspect the roof, the attic and the ceilings, document the storm-created openings, and answer a wear-and-tear denial with the evidence.
Roof insurance claim help · Roof claim denied for wear and tear
Storm and hurricane damage claims in Lehigh Acres
Hurricanes and summer thunderstorms bring wind, falling trees and windborne debris. Damage to screen enclosures, fences, sheds and carports belongs on the claim too, not only the house. We document every damaged structure before the carrier’s adjuster narrows the claim.
Water damage claims in Lehigh Acres
Burst supply lines, failed water heaters, A/C drain backups, slab leaks and roof leaks. Many Florida policies now cap non-weather water damage at $10,000, and the carrier will look for a “long-term leak” to deny it. We find the source, date it and document the full tear-out.
Water damage claims · Florida’s $10,000 water damage sublimit
Mold damage claims in Lehigh Acres
Mold is usually excluded on its own, but mold caused by a sudden, covered water loss is often part of that claim. Whether it is covered turns on when and why the water appeared, so we document the water event first, then the mold.

Who is the best public adjuster in Lehigh Acres?▶

Homeland: named licensed adjusters, firm license W818638, serving Florida property owners since 2006, English and Spanish, and a licensed adjuster at your property in Lehigh Acres.
Who is actually going to handle my case?▶
A licensed Homeland public adjuster, named to you on the first call. Our team: Yeni Martinez, President (Florida public adjuster license P103370), Alberto Enriquez (P112658), Yisel Dieguez (W873884) and Nelson Avila (Florida public adjuster license G332385 · Florida Certified Contractor CRC1331322 · property insurance appraiser and umpire). Each license is linked under Verify Homeland.
What percentage do you charge?▶
Florida law caps what any public adjuster can charge (Florida fee limits). Homeland explains its fee in your written agreement before you sign, so you know it up front. No recovery, no fee. And after you sign, you can still cancel within the period Florida law gives you (your cancellation rights).
Can you get me more money from my insurance?▶
We document every dollar your policy owes and negotiate for the full amount. What we do: inspect and document all the damage, write a line-item estimate, compare it with the insurer’s, and negotiate the claim for you, start to finish. See our published results.
Is there a public adjuster near me in Lehigh Acres?▶
Yes. A licensed Homeland public adjuster comes to your property in Lehigh Acres, and anywhere in Lee County, including Fort Myers and Immokalee. Our office is in Miami Lakes (visits by appointment), but you don’t need to go there. Call (239) 414-3777, 24/7, in English or Spanish.
My insurance won’t pay. Who do I call?▶
A licensed public adjuster can still help, and underpaid, denied and closed claims are a big part of what we do. We review the insurer’s letter and estimate, inspect the damage and can reopen or supplement the claim within Florida’s deadlines. Read Claim denied? What to do next.
I already opened a claim. Can I still hire a public adjuster?▶
Yes. You can bring in a public adjuster at any stage: right after you report the claim, while the insurer is still inspecting, or after an offer or a denial. We review what has been filed and said so far, and from then on we deal with the insurer for you.
Can I see results from claims like mine?▶
Yes. Our results and reviews page shows published claim results by type of damage and area, with client reviews. Ask us on the first call about claims similar to yours.
I need a good public adjuster for damage at my house in Lehigh Acres. Where do I start?▶
