About

Clear advocacy. Thorough documentation. Professional claim handling.

Insurance companies have adjusters working for them. A public adjuster works for you.
 

At Panhandle Public Adjusting, we help property owners present a strong, well-documented claim file—built on photos, scope accuracy, and clear valuation. We manage the details, organize the paperwork, and communicate with the carrier so the claim stays moving and the loss is properly addressed.
 

We’re local to the Panhandle, and our approach is straightforward: evidence, process, and steady follow-through.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Testimonials

"Chad and Connor are awesome. We had a very complicated claim from Hurricane Milton from wind driven rain forced through our windows. They walked us through the steps of the process and helped get our claim approved for over $190,000. The original offer we received from the insurance company was just over $30,000. I highly recommend Panhandle PA if you have a home owners insurance claim."

Ryan Fox

Pensacola, FL

Connor and Chad did an excellent job assessing our potential claim and navigating the quagmire that is insurance companies. We have an older house, and use Citizen's because it's the only affordable option. My wife and I were worried about dealing with insurance to file a
claim. A friend recommended we call these guys and it pays to listen! We got a settlement from citizens and came out of pocket a few thousand dollars for a brand new roof and gutters.

Will continue to use these guys and recommend them!
