Insurance Appraisal & Umpire Services in Delaware County, Ohio

When the amount of a property loss is in dispute, Ironclad Assessment Group helps owners across Delaware County get to the right number — what the damage actually costs to repair, determined under your policy's appraisal clause and documented to hold up. Independent, disinterested appraisal and umpire work only; we don't adjust or negotiate the claim.

Appraisal in Delaware County


Delaware County is among the fastest-growing parts of central Ohio, spanning suburban communities like Powell and a wide range of more rural properties across the county.

That breadth — newer suburban homes, established houses, and rural and outbuilding properties — means losses come in many forms, and after a wind, hail, water, or storm event a carrier's estimate and the real cost to repair often don't align. The appraisal clause in most property policies resolves that disagreement over the amount of the loss, not whether it is covered. Each side appoints a competent and disinterested appraiser; if the two disagree, a neutral umpire resolves the difference, and an award agreed to by any two of the three is binding.

Why Delaware County owners call Ironclad

The right number — and the proof to defend it.

Local and responsive

Based in the Powell area within the county and serving it directly — close to the properties we're engaged on.

Appraisal, not adjusting

We determine the amount of loss. We are not a public adjuster and do not negotiate, interpret policy language, or settle claims on your behalf.

Independent & disinterested

Our compensation is a retainer plus an hourly rate with a written cap — never a contingency tied to the award. We have no financial stake in the number.

How it works


Engagement  →  Confirm appraisal invocation  →  Neutral evidence intake  →  Independent valuation  →  Itemized award (umpire if needed).

Fees are a retainer plus an hourly rate with a maximum cap agreed in writing — never a contingency. If an umpire is required, you pay one-half of the umpire's fee directly. See the full process →
