An independent adjusting (IA) firm is a company that contracts with insurance carriers to handle property and casualty claims on their behalf. Unlike staff adjusters who work directly for a single insurance company, independent adjusters work through IA firms and are deployed to handle daily claim volume, catastrophe (CAT) events, and specialty losses across multiple carriers.
The insurance industry relies heavily on IA firms during peak claim periods — especially after hurricanes, hailstorms, tornadoes, wildfires, and other catastrophic weather events. These firms maintain large rosters of licensed, experienced adjusters who can be mobilized quickly to inspect damages, write estimates in Xactimate, and settle claims.
We built this directory because finding a comprehensive, up-to-date list of independent adjusting firms in one place is surprisingly difficult. Whether you're a new adjuster looking for firms to roster with, an experienced CAT adjuster comparing opportunities, or a roofing contractor trying to understand who handles claims in your market — this page is for you.
At Sketch My Roof, we provide roof measurement reports to adjusters, contractors, and insurance carriers daily. We work alongside independent adjusters every day and understand the ecosystem these firms operate in.
When evaluating which IA firms to roster with, experienced adjusters typically consider fee schedules and payment terms, deployment regions and claim volume, the types of claims handled (residential, commercial, flood, auto), technology and estimating platforms used, training and support provided, and reputation within the industry. Many adjusters roster with multiple firms simultaneously to maximize their deployment opportunities during catastrophe season.
Catastrophe (CAT) Firms specialize in deploying adjusters during major weather events. These firms maintain large rosters and can mobilize hundreds of adjusters within hours of a storm. Multi-Line Firms handle various types of claims including property, casualty, liability, and specialty lines. Daily Claims Firms focus on steady-state claim volume rather than catastrophe surges. TPAs (Third Party Administrators) manage the entire claims process on behalf of carriers, often handling everything from first notice of loss through settlement. Flood/NFIP Firms specialize in National Flood Insurance Program claims, which require specific certifications and training. Auto/Specialty Firms handle vehicle damage appraisals, heavy equipment, marine, and other specialty lines.
The National Association of Independent Insurance Adjusters (NAIIA) is the primary trade association for the independent adjusting industry. NAIIA member firms adhere to professional standards and continuing education requirements. Additional resources for independent adjusters include state-specific licensing boards, the Insurance Institute, and professional designations like AIC, CPCU, and SCLA.
