Common Questions
New Castle County public adjuster FAQs
What does a public adjuster do for New Castle County homeowners?
A public adjuster works exclusively for you — not the insurance company. We inspect your property, document every item of damage, interpret your policy, and negotiate directly with your insurer to maximize your settlement. Delaware is a small state with a concentrated insurance market; having professional representation ensures your insurer treats your claim with the attention it deserves.
What types of property damage are most common in New Castle County?
Wind and hail from summer convective storms is the leading claim driver in New Castle County. Wilmington's older urban housing stock — row homes, pre-war brick construction — is particularly vulnerable to roof failures, water intrusion, and fire losses. Christina River and Brandywine Creek flooding affects properties in Wilmington and New Castle. Ice dams and burst pipes are common in the county's older homes during harsh winters.
How much does Capitol Adjustment charge in New Castle County?
We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing until we recover your settlement. No upfront costs, no hourly fees. Our fee is a percentage of the final settlement we recover for you. New Castle County homeowners consistently recover more with professional representation than they do negotiating alone.
My Wilmington home had water damage — what should I do?
Stop the source of water if possible, document everything with photos and video before any cleanup, and call us at 267-343-7301. We'll assess the full scope of damage — including hidden moisture behind walls and under flooring — and make sure your insurer covers everything your policy allows. One Wilmington homeowner received an initial water damage offer of $16,000; after we documented the full scope, the settlement reached $43,000.
Can a public adjuster help with a denied claim in New Castle County?
Yes. A denial is not final. We review the denial letter, identify the insurer's stated basis, and build a documented rebuttal. Common denial reasons — 'pre-existing condition,' 'maintenance issue,' 'excluded cause' — are frequently overturned when the damage is properly documented. Call 267-343-7301 to discuss your situation.
Is Capitol Adjustment licensed to work in Delaware?
Yes. Capitol Adjustment LLC is fully licensed as a public adjuster in Delaware and serves all of New Castle County — from Wilmington and Newark to Middletown, Bear, and the communities along the I-95 corridor. We are available 24/7 at 267-343-7301.
Does Capitol Adjustment handle claims for newer construction in Bear and Glasgow?
Yes. Newer construction in Bear, Glasgow, and Middletown presents its own claim challenges — builder-grade materials, warranty disputes, and code compliance questions. We handle claims for all property types and ages throughout New Castle County and make sure the settlement reflects the true cost of restoring your home to its pre-loss condition.

Verified Google reviews from homeowners we've helped.
"After dealing with a stressful insurance claim and months of back-and-forth with the insurance company, I honestly don't know what I would have done without this team. They went to bat for me and fought tirelessly on my behalf, handling mountains of paperwork and constant pushback. Their persistence and expertise resulted in a settlement that far exceeded what I could have achieved on my own. Beyond their professionalism, they are genuinely good people who truly care about their clients and treat you like family."

You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and go above and beyond to make sure everything is handled properly."

"My girlfriend and I contacted Tim at Capitol Adjustment when we experienced water damage on our newly purchased home. Tim and his company came out right away, took photos, assessed the damage, and helped us navigate through our insurance claim process with proper documentation. They've been extremely professional and super helpful throughout these last few months. Tim and his company were there every step of the way to answer any questions and kept us fully up to date throughout the whole process."

"We were on the fence about whether or not to use an adjuster when dealing with fire damage at our home, and we could not be more grateful. Thanks to Dave's knowledge and request to cut a small hole in our ceiling, our insurance discovered severe smoke damage in all of our ceilings and behind our walls. Steve continued to be incredibly supportive during the 5 months we were displaced. These guys absolutely know their stuff. We don't know how we would have made it through this year without them!"

"If there's one thing you should do in the event of having a home disaster is call Capitol Adjustment. I had a pipe burst and it damaged all floors of my home! With the proper guidance and education from Dave Ryan I was able to have my home repaired! Dave not only handled everything with my insurance company, he also helped me find a reliable contractor for the repairs. Dave by far goes above and beyond for his customers and I highly recommend him!!"

For someone like myself that had never been through an event like this before, Dave was able to clearly walk me through everything until it was resolved. I highly recommend using them!"

"We are very grateful for the way Capitol Adjustment handled our claim and how they walked us through the process with no problems. They took care of dealing with the insurance company completely while I was able to take care of repairing my property. We would like to especially thank George Carroll for staying in touch with us throughout this entire time and for getting us great results."

"Capitol Adjustment helped guide us through this stressful period. Dave and his team were professional and empathetic to the situation, informative and supportive in assessing all damages from a neighboring fire. They reviewed all our options and helped make the best decisions we could. I'd recommend their team if you and your family are ever in need."

"My roof sustained severe damage from a huge tree branch. I was lost on what to do. After our first conversation with George at Capitol Adjustment, I knew I called the right person. The professional, quick service — from removing the tree branch, speaking with my insurance company, to having the roof and gutters replaced — was outstanding. It was a real pleasure dealing with such an honest person. I don't write reviews unless it's 5-star service. This was definitely it."

"Words and appreciation cannot be expressed as it deserves. My adjuster Shawn and his team are unbelievable — caring, precise, attentive, detailed, and hard working. Shawn did everything possible to make sure my husband and I entered our home in a better state than before. We were entirely blessed to have come across a group of people who made sure our home was back better than before."

"George provided outstanding support after storm damage to a roof and interior. He was extremely communicative and responsive throughout the entire process, keeping me informed at every step. What impressed me most was how he guided me through the complex insurance claim process and handled all correspondence with my insurance company on my behalf. His expertise and professionalism made a stressful situation much more manageable."

"I worked with Tim and the Capitol Adjustment team and they are a delight to work with. They helped me understand the process and proactively worked with my mortgage company to get status on payments. If you are looking for a proactive claim adjuster willing to hold your hand throughout the process, it is Tim and Capitol Adjustment."

"My husband and I bought our first home and about a month later had a major sewer line issue. Steve from Capitol was a referral through family and I am so glad we contacted him. His time spent dealing with our insurance company alone shows the dedication he has to the business. It took almost a year of battling with our insurance company but he was able to have our loss and the damage covered. Without hesitation, I would recommend Capitol — they know the industry and took a lot of stress off of us."

"These folks at Capitol Adjustment were absolutely terrific in getting me the most for my home destroyed by fire! They seem to care about their clients, which is something I worried about, but they were very caring and understanding. It is a tough time and they alleviated much of the stress associated with a house fire. Kudos to George and Tim!"
