Naples · Collier County

Local claims help that works only for you.

Collier County's high-value coastal properties require careful, thorough documentation. Naples homeowners frequently see insurance offers that fall short of actual restoration costs.

Vanguard Claims represents Naples policyholders, never the insurance company. We document the full scope of your loss and negotiate for the settlement your policy owes, on contingency. No upfront fees; we're only paid after you recover.

Local market

Why Naples homeowners face underpaid claims

Naples combines some of the highest property values in Florida with direct Gulf-front exposure, and Hurricane Ian's record 2022 surge drove that risk home. High-value coastal homes mean larger, more complex losses, and bigger gaps between a carrier's first offer and the true cost to restore a Collier County property.

From Old Naples and Port Royal to Vanderbilt Beach and Marco Island, the area's luxury construction, custom finishes, and waterfront siting demand meticulous documentation. Carriers routinely under-scope these losses, particularly the wind-versus-flood line and the cost of matching high-end materials.

Storm exposure

Collier County storm & damage exposure

Collier County's high property values and Gulf-front exposure make accurate, high-end damage documentation essential: small scoping errors translate into large dollar gaps in Naples.

  • Hurricane Ian (2022). Drove record storm surge into coastal Collier County, roughly 8 feet near North Naples and higher at Vanderbilt Beach, flooding homes and dragging vehicles in Naples.
  • Hurricane Irma (2017). Made a Collier County landfall near Marco Island, causing extensive wind and surge damage across the Naples area.
  • Hurricane Wilma (2005). Crossed South Florida from the Gulf, a benchmark wind event for Collier County.
Florida's insurance market

Florida's market and the 25% roof rule in Naples

Florida's property-insurance market has tightened sharply: national carriers have pulled back, premiums have climbed, and more homeowners (including many in Collier County) have moved onto Citizens Property Insurance. Leaner first offers and harder roof claims are the direct result.

Florida's building code has historically required that when more than 25% of a roof section is repaired or replaced within a 12-month period, that section be brought up to current code. A 2022 law (SB 4-D) added an exception for roofs already built or repaired to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, which may only need the damaged portion brought to code. How it applies depends on your specific roof and claim. We review it against your policy.

Client stories

Real reviews from the policyholders we represent.

  • Dayna is the absolute BEST! I was honestly so overwhelmed with my claim and I had no idea what was up and what was down all while they were tearing my house apart from water damage. Dayna took the reins and I was never more thankful. She was incredibly communicative through the whole process and advocated for me tirelessly to make sure that once everything is done, I was made whole again.

  • Cannot express how much I recommend Andrew and his team. I felt out of my depth talking about insurance, expecting huge buzz words to just be thrown my way, but all of my issues were explained, and taken care of in a way that was easy to understand, and made me feel like a priority.

Naples questions

Public adjuster Naples FAQ

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency across our Florida service area, which means we're only paid from what we actually recover for you, and only after your carrier pays. If we don't recover, you don't pay.
Yes. A large part of our work is reopening denied, delayed, and underpaid claims. We re-scope the loss, rebuild the documentation, and submit a supplement or invoke the appraisal clause when the carrier won't pay fairly.
Hurricane and windstorm, water, roof, fire and smoke, and mold damage, plus commercial property and business-interruption losses for homeowners and businesses throughout the area.
Most inspections are scheduled within a couple of days, and we aim for a same-day callback. For active losses, we move fast so evidence is documented before it's lost.
No. Your carrier's adjuster represents the insurance company. As a licensed public adjuster, Vanguard represents only you, the policyholder, through every stage of the claim.
Florida deadlines apply statewide. For policies effective on or after December 16, 2022, you generally have one year from the date of loss to report a new claim and 18 months for a supplemental claim (Fla. Stat. § 627.70132). Older policies may allow longer. Document and report early; storm evidence fades fast.
As Florida carriers tightened underwriting and more Collier County homeowners moved onto Citizens Property Insurance, first offers got leaner and roof and water claims got harder to settle. A complete, well-documented scope is what closes the gap between a lowball offer and what your policy actually owes.
