Pinellas County Public Adjuster for Hurricane, Flood & Sinkhole Claims
St. Petersburg is one of Florida’s most beloved coastal cities, known for its sunshine, arts scene and stunning waterfront. But its position on the Pinellas Peninsula also makes it one of the most exposed areas in the state when severe weather hits. Hurricane season brings real risk of storm surge, wind damage and flooding to homes and businesses across Pinellas County. Sinkhole activity, common in this part of Florida, adds another layer of complexity for owners dealing with structural damage and insurance disputes.
Crestview has the experience and licensing to handle the full range of property damage claims in St. Petersburg. Whether your claim involves hurricane damage, flooding, a closed or underpaid settlement, or a disputed sinkhole loss, we’re here to fight for the outcome you deserve.
Many Florida policies cover only “catastrophic ground cover collapse” unless you bought separate sinkhole coverage, so it’s worth having your policy reviewed before you accept a denial.
Serving St. Petersburg and All of Pinellas County
Whether your property is on the Downtown St. Pete waterfront, in the historic Grand Central District, or in one of Pinellas County’s Gulf Coast communities, Crestview’s licensed Florida adjusters come to you. We inspect the damage on-site, document every loss, and handle your claim from start to finish.
Areas we serve: St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach, Gulfport, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Pinellas Park, Largo, Seminole, Clearwater and Dunedin. Contact us to schedule a free on-site assessment.
Insurance Claim Services Available in St. Petersburg
Crestview Public Adjusters handles a comprehensive range of property damage insurance claims in St. Petersburg and across Pinellas County. Our licensed team manages your claim from assessment to settlement.
Water Damage Claims
From burst pipes to AC and water heater leaks, we manage St. Pete water claims from inspection through final payout.
Flood Damage
Flood claims are easy to get wrong. The wrong forms or damage descriptions can leave your Pinellas flood claim underpaid or denied. We make sure it's done right.
Roof Damage Claims
Florida insurers often call roof damage "wear and tear." We document storm damage to your shingles, tile or flat roof so your claim is paid in full.
Storm Surge Claims
Helene showed how fast Gulf storm surge can flood Pinellas homes. We document surge damage and push back when insurers blame the wrong cause.
Mold Damage Claims
St. Pete's humidity turns leaks into mold fast. We document affected areas and push for coverage before the damage spreads.
Fire Damage Claims
We inspect fire and smoke damage, inventory lost contents, and build a claim that covers the full cost to rebuild.
Business Interruption Claims
When a storm closes your St. Pete business, we recover lost income and extra expenses, not just the cost of repairs.
Underpaid Insurance Claims
Unsure about your payout? We reassess the damage and fight for the full compensation you're owed.

Crestview was an absolute pleasure to work with. We got a call from a long term commercial tenant at 6am the morning after Hurricane IDA saying there is 4 ft of water filling up the space and that they were doing a walk through that day to sell their business. Crestview got their contractors over right away . We were able to prevent a lot of damage due to their quick response. Once onsite, they assessed all of the damage, we discussed rebuild plans and there was little for me to do as a landlord other than cash a check. Josh's assessments' were accurate and he was easy to communicate with. They also took a holistic approach to maximize my payout and even got the physical payment expedited so we can begin the rebuild. I would definitely use them again.![]()

A tree fell on my house and knocked the chimney through my roof. I told my friend how hard it was dealing with the insurance company. He told me to call Crestview Public Adjusters and I am so happy I did. They handled everything for me with the insurance company and even helped me find a contractor to do the repairs. I couldn't be happier that I used them. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. Give them a call for all your insurance claim needs. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.![]()

St. Petersburg Public Adjuster FAQs
Crestview manages every aspect of your hurricane claim, from the initial damage assessment through final settlement negotiations. We document all storm-related losses, review your policy for applicable coverage, and advocate directly with your insurer to secure the highest possible payout.
In many cases, yes. If new damage has been discovered, or if the original settlement was insufficient given the scope of your losses, Crestview can review your closed claim and pursue a supplemental claim or formal dispute on your behalf.
Crestview operates on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront costs and no fees until we recover a settlement for you. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover, so our incentives are fully aligned with yours.
Usually not. Storm surge is typically treated as flooding, which standard homeowners policies exclude, so it's covered under a separate flood policy. Wind damage from the same storm is often covered by your homeowners policy, and insurers frequently dispute which caused what. We document the damage to make sure each policy pays its share. Learn more about hurricane claims.
Florida policies must cover "catastrophic ground cover collapse," but broader sinkhole damage, such as cracked foundations or walls, is usually covered only if you bought sinkhole coverage. These claims often involve engineering reports and disputes, so a policy review is worth doing before you accept a denial.
Under current Florida law, you generally have one year from the date of loss to file a new or reopened claim, and 18 months for a supplemental claim. Your policy may have other requirements, so act quickly. Contact us for a free claim review.
