Don’t just make a claim. Build a case
Commercial property owners have duties not only under the insurance policy, but obligations to tenants, clients and other owners. The ability to address all facets of a loss when damages occur creates a complex environment for commercial policyholders. These policyholders are unilaterally committed over and above their normal work flow when damages arise.
We keep communication simple for you by having one single point of contact for you
One point of contact to investigate, research, coordinate, identify policy benefits, communicate effectively with the carrier, properly present the claim and provide settlement options is an asset.

Retain us as your experts
Most people have little familiarity with their insurance policy. Many have neither the time, much less the expertise, to undertake the complexity of filing an insurance claim that results in a satisfactory settlement. It is not the job, duty, or responsibility of your insurance company to discover the full extent of your loss. It is yours.
We are on your side. Let us represent you, for we are an insurance claims adjusting, appraisal, and construction consulting company committed to recovering every client’s loss as if it were our own.

What Our Satisfied Clients Have To Say
“Your help, support and guidance throughout the process of obtaining a fair and just offer of payment for our claim was immeasurable. Having you as our advocate was such a source of comfort in a very stressful situation. Your attention to detail made a huge difference in OUR monetary recovery from State Farm Insurance Company.
Additionally, your prompt response to any communication was so reassuring. Your staff and support team were always so professional and helpful; we never once worried that our messages were falling on deaf ears!
Patrick, we will NEVER forget the exceptional professionalism exhibited, by you, during the third inspection with the State Farm Adjuster. He was as close to rude as we have ever seen. You handled a rather uncomfortable (and emotional) situation with the utmost tact and decorum. Obviously, your smoothing words and keen insight worked; you doubled the original offer made to us by State Farm!”

“It is our pleasure to recommend Mr. Patrick H. Garrett with Garrett Claims Group. We retained his firm to represent us in negotiations with our insurance company when our property at 701 W. Bay St. in Tampa, Florida burned in April of 2007. Mr. Garrett acted professionally, worked in a timely matter, and demonstrated an impressive working knowledge of insurance claims and benefits. He was an effective and efficient liaison with the insurance company, and we believe maximized policy benefits due us.
Thanks to Mr. Garrett, we were able to rebuild our beautiful historic property that was damaged, and restore it to its’ former elegance. Though we hope this never happens again, we would not hesitate to call for Mr. Garrett’s services.”

“You and your team of public adjusters have been a great help to my clients during catastrophic losses. Your background as a general contractor and expertise in the construction field not only helped when handling hurricane claims, but in many other property disputes. You and your staff are professional, dependable and always give me 110% when handing a claim.”

“You were the best liaison. I am delighted with the outcome and would highly recommend you and your company to anyone in need of an excellent public adjuster, appraiser, negotiator, and/or contractor. Your business acumen and experience, as well as, your superb negotiation skills enabled me to recoup a great deal of the insurance monies to which I was entitled. I was able to get back into my condo with the assurance that all water, mold, and construction remediation issues were addressed and resolved.”

“No one should have to face the big insurance companies alone, and you were there every step of the way to make sure that our insurance carrier treated us fairly, and that we received the money that we were due. I really don’t know what we would have done without you.”

I met Pat Garrett a few days after Hurricane Frances did substantial damage to my shopping center on A1A along the Atlantic coast. His demeanor, knowledge and prompt attention to my claim resulted in a Policy Limits settlement. We were very pleased with GCG’s results.
