About 1800Adjusters
Experienced & Trusted Public Adjusters
Our Story
1800Adjusters™ was born from a simple yet powerful observation: Property owners were not getting fair treatment from insurance companies. Founded in 2012 by industry veterans David Romano and Craig Spiegel, our New York-based company emerged from their shared vision to level the playing field between insurance companies and the people they serve.
What began as a mission to advocate for homeowners and business owners has grown into a network of licensed and bonded public insurance adjusters united by our motto: “Property Claims Done RIGHT!”
Our Mission
At 1800Adjusters™, we work exclusively for property owners—never insurance companies. Our mission is to maximize your insurance claim recovery while eliminating the stress and confusion of the claims process.

Our track record speaks for itself. Property owners across New York have trusted 1800Adjusters™ to handle their most challenging insurance claims, resulting in settlements that average 300-400% higher than initial insurance offers.
“After the storm damaged our home, the insurance company offered just $45,000. 1800Adjusters™ got us $187,000—more than four times the original offer. They truly changed our lives.”
— Sarah T., Melville, NY
“When a fire devastated my restaurant in Manhattan, the insurance company’s initial offer of $210,000 wouldn’t even cover my kitchen equipment. 1800Adjusters™ documented everything meticulously and secured a settlement of $785,000. They saved my business and the livelihoods of my 22 employees.”
— Michael R., Manhattan, NY
“As a non-profit community center, we couldn’t afford to rebuild after storm damage with the insurance company’s $125,000 offer. 1800Adjusters™ not only increased our settlement to $412,000 but also helped us understand coverage options we didn’t know existed. Their work allowed us to continue serving our community without interruption.”
— Robert M., Patchogue, NY
