The professionals at Adams Appraisal are qualified to provide certified appraisals to properly insure art, collectables, furnishings, business equipment, and residential content. We provide evidence based valuation of comparable replacement cost, inventories, and photography for you and your insurer.
Even the most comprehensive policy does no good if the replacement cost has not been determined. Many home-owner’s policies do not properly address the value of the items you treasure. If a claim must be made, your insurance company may require proof of value be established prior to the damage or loss. Though it may be possible to appraise items after they’ve sustained damage or been destroyed, there is never a clearer picture of your items value than while it is still whole. When you itemize your collection with a professional appraisal, there is peace of mind that nothing will be overlooked or undervalued.
