Kansas & Missouri Public Adjusters

No reviews yet
24 years of experience

A public adjuster is an insurance claims adjuster who advocates for the private citizen (policyholder) in appraising and negotiating a claimant's insurance claim. Aside from attorneys and the broker of record, public adjusters licensed by state departments of insurance are the only type of claims adjuster that can legally represent the rights of an insured (private citizen) during an insurance claim process. A public adjuster will be most beneficial when it is clear that the insurer (insurance company) will pay the claim and the only issue is the proper identification and valuation of the loss. Most public adjusters charge a percentage of the settlement, with the average charge being between 10% to 15%. Primarily they appraise the damage, prepare an estimate and other claim documentation, read the policy of insurance to determine coverage, and negotiate with the insurance company's adjuster.

Established in 2007, Everstead is an engineering and design consulting firm that provides a wide variety of services for the residential industry. We service homeowners, realtors, contractors, and builders.

"Our house had some major settling issues with the garage and two attached rooms on concrete slabs. I contacted 3 foundation companies for bids. After 2 companies gave me bids I was so confused on what they were proposing and on the prices they were quoting, I turned to Google to try to take a crash course on piering and foundation repair. The advice I found on Google was even more confusing except for one recurring suggestion: Hire an independent Professional Engineer (PE) to evaluate the structural problems in the home to advise me on the best way to fix the problems with the foundation. I did another Google search for local companies doing such an evaluation and came across Everstead which had great reviews and history. I hired them to help me decide how to fix our issues. Jeremiah, my PE, was terrific! He measured settling all throughout the house, suggested the best solutions to fix the problems I had with three areas of the house, and was extremely patient with my questions and answered all in a way I could understand. His evaluation visit was about 3 hours long. After he left I had a plan of action that I took back to the foundation contractors to revise their bids by adding some things and taking away some things. The bottom line is Jeremiah saved me a lot of money on work not necessary at this time, on things that weren't a priority now but might be in the future, and on the best methods to fix our various issues. Jeremiah also answered several questions on several occasions after talking to my three companies about his recommendations. That REALLY helped because one company balked on some of his suggestions and another had different approaches that didn’t quite match his approach. His evaluation and answers to my questions after getting feedback on his evaluations from my selected companies helped me decide on which company to select, not by name, but by that company’s solution which more closely matched his suggestions. I highly recommend getting a PE and I highly recommend Everstead!!!!! P.S. –Jeremiah was totally an independent advisor to me. He had heard of the companies but never gave me an opinion on them as a company or which to choose. He only provided a PE’s advice on the best way to fix our problems"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can pay to hire an architect or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you’re not sure your home will be completely safe when you’ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.
