This is Peaks to Prairie Claims Consulting — an insurance appraisal and umpire firm specializing in the resolution of disputed property claims.

When a policyholder and insurer disagree on the amount of a loss, the appraisal clause found in most property policies offers a path to resolution without litigation. As licensed and experienced appraisers, we serve as party-appointed appraisers, evaluating the loss independently and advocating for a fair, well-documented valuation. When the two appraisers cannot reach an agreement, we also serve as umpires — the neutral third party who reviews both positions and renders an impartial, binding decision on the amount of loss.

Our role is to bring the dispute to a fair and timely conclusion through professional knowledge of insurance policies, valuation, and the appraisal process.

With 10-plus years of experience in the construction world, and having held producer, public adjuster, and appraiser roles, we bring a broad understanding of insurance policies from both sides of the table — and the practical construction knowledge to accurately value real-world losses.
