SPONSORED BY ALLIANCE ADJUSTMENT GROUP

Damage such as fire, wind and water are usually covered under your insurance policy. Deal with your insurance company alone and they’ll pay you as little as you’ll accept. But use a public insurance adjuster, like Alliance Adjustment, and they’ll fight for every penny that your claim is worth to make sure that you’re properly compensated for your damage. Alliance Adjustment will handle your claim from start to finish, so that you can start to put things back together. Find out why they’re the #1 public insurance adjuster in the Long Beach Island area, having helped thousands of customers in NJ, PA, and NY since 1999.

Visit their website or text James Wagner directly at 215-768-2000 for superior service.
