When conflicts arise between policyholders and insurance companies over the value of a loss, it’s essential to have a neutral party provide a fair, unbiased evaluation. TP Appraisals steps in as that impartial voice, offering a balanced perspective through our Opposing Appraisal Services.
What is Insurance Appraisal?
Opposing appraisal is a process designed to resolve disputes between policyholders and insurance companies over the value of damages or claims. Often, policyholders feel that the insurance company’s damage estimate is too low, while the insurer stands by their assessment. In such cases, TP Appraisals provides an independent, fact-based evaluation of the damages to help bridge the gap.
Our role as opposing appraisers is to remain neutral, reviewing the situation thoroughly and delivering an objective assessment. By focusing solely on the facts, we provide an impartial evaluation that ensures the final valuation accurately reflects the true extent of the loss.

The Appraisal Process
- Initial Consultation
When a dispute arises, either the policyholder or the insurance company can invoke the appraisal clause in the insurance policy. Each side selects an appraiser, and TP Appraisals can serve as the opposing appraiser, offering an objective and balanced assessment. - Independent Evaluation
Our team conducts a thorough inspection of the damaged property, analyzing all relevant factors such as repair costs and the extent of the damage. We work independently from both parties to provide a fair and impartial evaluation. - Collaboration with the Other Appraiser
Once our evaluation is complete, we collaborate with the opposing appraiser to review both assessments. If both appraisers agree on the value of the loss, the claim is settled. - Umpire Resolution (if necessary)
If the two appraisers cannot agree, a neutral umpire is appointed to make the final decision. TP Appraisals can also assist in selecting a trusted umpire to resolve the dispute.
Who Can Benefit from Insurance Appraisal Services?
Opposing appraisal services can benefit various parties involved in claim disputes, including:
- Homeowners: If you believe your insurance company’s payout is insufficient to cover damages from storms, floods, or fires, an opposing appraisal can ensure your claim is fairly evaluated.
- Business Owners: Commercial claims can be complex, particularly when large losses are involved. Our independent appraisals ensure your claim receives a thorough and fair review.
- Insurance Adjusters: For insurance companies in need of unbiased evaluations, TP Appraisals offers independent assessments to help resolve disputes quickly and professionally.
Why Opposing Insurance Appraisal Matters
The appraisal process provides a faster, less confrontational alternative to legal disputes over insurance claims. It offers a professional, independent evaluation, helping both policyholders and insurers reach a resolution without costly and lengthy court battles. By involving an impartial appraiser, both sides can avoid prolonged disputes and achieve a fair outcome.
In Texas, where hurricanes, hail, and tornadoes often lead to large-scale property damage, opposing appraisal services are crucial for resolving disputes. TP Appraisals ensures that the final decision reflects the true extent of the damage, providing a reliable and professional service that Texans can trust.
