Robyn Roderick Fine Art Appraisal Services is an approved source for all major insurance companies.

 

INSURANCE CLAIMS

Insurance companies rely on the expertise and professionalism of Robyn Roderick Fine Art Appraisal Services for settling insured’s disaster claims: fire, flood, accidental damage and more. Our company provides everything necessary to quickly and efficiently make the insured whole after a loss. RRFAAS will perform on-site examination of property and assessment of damage, then prepare a detailed repair/restoration estimate. Or, if property suffered a loss-in-value or is a total loss, Robyn Roderick, certified appraiser, is qualified to perform an appraisal report written in compliance with the Uniform Standards of the Professional Appraisal Practice and the American Society of Appraiser’s Code of Ethics.

Since the items involved in most insurance appraisals are either one of a kind or were produced in very limited quantity, additional consideration must be given for the replacement as to artistic merit, desirability, characteristics and period of execution.

In addition to providing estimates and replacement value reports, RRFAAS also provides transport services to our secure location in Swarthmore, storage and professional restoration services. 

INSURANCE SCHEDULING

Although not all insurance companies require a documented inventory of belongings to process a claim, they do recommend it. Without a detailed inventory, your claim will probably take longer and your benefit will be smaller. You are most likely underinsured, and you will not realize it until it is too late. An inventory may help you determine what coverage you actually need. It is easier to do now than by memory after a catastrophe. Robyn Roderick, certified fine art appraiser since 1993, will perform an on-site examination and inventory right in your home, perform market research in relevant venues, and prepare an appraisal document for replacement value purposes for the intended use of insurance coverage. Appraisal reviews are suggested every 3-5 years, to reflect current market conditions.
