Miami Springs Public Adjuster FAQs
Miami Springs property owners often have questions about when to involve a public adjuster, what happens after damage is discovered, and how representation fits into an insurance claim. Here are answers to common questions. Contact us for a free claim review.
Does Homeland handle wind damage claims in Miami Springs?▶
Yes. Hurricane Irma produced a 92 mph gust at neighboring Miami International Airport in 2017, and wind-driven rain often damages roofs, windows and interiors here. Homeland documents wind and water damage and handles the claim for you. Call our local line 24/7 at (305) 783-3777.

Yes. Hurricane, wind and storm claims are among the losses Homeland handles. Miami Springs is in Miami-Dade County, within Florida’s hurricane-prone coastal region, and we help Miami Springs property owners document damage from hurricanes, tropical storms, storm surge and heavy rain.
Who is the best public adjuster in Miami Springs?▶
Judge every firm the same way: an active license you can look up on the Florida DFS licensee search, a named adjuster on your file, the fee in writing before you sign, and real results and reviews. Homeland: named licensed adjusters, firm license W818638, serving Florida property owners since 2006, English and Spanish, and a licensed adjuster at your property in Miami Springs.
Who will personally handle my claim?▶
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.
How much 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 my insurance to pay more?▶
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.
Can someone come out to my place in Miami Springs and look at the damage?▶
Yes. A licensed Homeland public adjuster comes to your property in Miami Springs, and anywhere in Miami-Dade County, including Hialeah and Doral. Our office is in Miami Lakes (visits by appointment), but you don’t need to go there. Call (305) 783-3777, 24/7, in English or Spanish.
The insurer already offered money (or paid nothing). Can you still help?▶
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.
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.
Water got into my house. Who can help?▶
If you safely can, stop the water and take photos and video before you clean up. Then call a licensed public adjuster. Homeland handles water damage claims in Miami Springs: burst pipes, AC leaks, roof leaks and flooding. We document the damage, check which policy applies and handle the claim for you. Call (305) 783-3777, 24/7.
