Water-damaged garage ceiling and electrical panel at a home in Tampa, FL

In the News Near Tampa, FL

In the News. When Hurricane Milton hit Tampa on October 10, 2024, its winds sheared an entire exterior wall off an office building on South 22nd Street — home to the fourth-generation family business Pilgrim Permocoat — exposing all three floors, staircases, and furniture inside, Fox 13 News reported. The company had boarded up its windows ahead of the storm but, like many property owners, hadn't planned for losing an entire wall. That gap between what owners prepare for and what a major hurricane actually does is exactly why commercial and residential wind claims so often come in underestimated: insurers' adjusters may assess only the visible, boarded-up damage rather than the structural failure behind it. Tampa remains one of the hardest-hit cities for wind and storm-surge exposure in the state, and a proper claim needs documentation that matches the real scope of loss. If Hurricane Milton or any other storm damaged your Tampa home or business, Homeland Public Adjusters can build and negotiate your claim for you — No Recovery, No Fee.

Tampa Public Adjuster FAQs

Still have questions?

Call us 24/7 and talk to the Homeland team.

(813) 807-3777(732) 517-3777 · New Jersey

Tampa 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 storm surge and flood claims in Tampa?▶

Yes. Tampa Bay floods from both surge and rain: Hurricane Helene’s surge reached 5 to 7 feet above ground within the bay in 2024, and Hurricane Milton brought 11.73 inches of rain to Tampa International Airport weeks later. Homeland documents surge, flood and wind damage and handles the claim; call our local line 24/7 at (813) 807-3777.

Does Homeland handle hurricane and flood claims in Tampa?▶

Yes. Hurricane, wind and flood claims are among the losses Homeland handles, including claims under both NFIP and private flood policies. Tampa-area owners have lived through Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

I need a really good public adjuster in Tampa. How do I pick one?▶

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 Tampa.

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 Tampa and look at the damage?▶

Yes. A licensed Homeland public adjuster comes to your property in Tampa, and anywhere in Hillsborough County, including St Petersburg and Clearwater. Our office is in Miami Lakes (visits by appointment), but you don’t need to go there. Call (813) 807-3777, 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.

Someone told me about Homeland. Are they any good?▶

Don’t take our word for it; check us. Every Homeland license is listed under Verify Homeland: Florida firm license W818638, named licensed adjusters, BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, serving property owners since 2006. Read the results and reviews, and ask us who will handle your claim before you sign.

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 Tampa: burst pipes, AC leaks, roof leaks and flooding. We document the damage, check which policy applies and handle the claim for you. Call (813) 807-3777, 24/7.
