Insurance Appraisal & Umpire Services in Powell, Ohio

When the amount of a property loss is in dispute, Ironclad Assessment Group helps Powell owners get to the right number. That means 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.

The short version

Appraisal is the process your policy already contains for settling a disagreement about the amount of a covered loss. It has nothing to say about coverage. Each side names an appraiser, an umpire decides anything the two can't resolve, and the award is binding under most policy language. Ironclad works Powell and Delaware County in either role.

Appraisal in Powell & Delaware County


Powell and the surrounding Delaware County communities are largely residential, with a mix of established and newer homes that see their share of central Ohio's wind, hail, and severe-storm losses.

When a carrier's estimate and the actual cost to repair don't line up, the appraisal clause in most property policies provides the path forward: it resolves a disagreement over the amount of the loss, not whether it is covered. Each side appoints a competent and disinterested appraiser to determine the amount of loss; if the two disagree, a neutral umpire resolves the difference, and an award agreed to by any two of the three panel members is binding. Being local to Powell, we can move quickly once an engagement is confirmed.

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.

Local and responsive

Based in the Powell area and serving Delaware County directly, close to the properties we're engaged on.

How it works


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

Our fee is set in writing before the engagement begins, never a contingency. If an umpire is required, you pay one-half of the umpire's fee directly. See the full process →
