Service Area · Upper Arlington, OH
When the amount of a property loss is in dispute, Ironclad Assessment Group helps Upper Arlington 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.
Coverage settled, number disputed. That's the situation the appraisal clause was written for, and it's the only situation we work on. Each side appoints an appraiser to determine the amount of loss, and a neutral umpire resolves anything the two can't close. Ironclad serves Upper Arlington in either role. We are not a public adjuster.
Appraisal in Upper Arlington
Upper Arlington is an established, tree-lined community bordered by Columbus, known for its mature neighborhoods and a large share of older, higher-value homes.
On established homes with mature tree cover, a wind, hail, or storm event can produce losses that are both significant and detailed to value. That is exactly where a carrier's estimate and the true cost to repair can pull apart. The appraisal clause 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 panel members is binding.
Why Upper Arlington owners call Ironclad

Our fee is set in writing before the engagement begins, never a contingency tied to the award. We have no financial stake in the number.
