An adjuster reads a number off a line-item estimate over the phone, and it sounds solid enough to sign onto right then, no second look needed. That number is often just a starting point. It hasn't settled anything yet.
Carrier estimates and contractor bids often land in different places, usually because of how they scope the damage, price materials, or calculate overhead and profit. Florida and North Carolina policyholders typically have real options before agreeing to that figure: a reinspection, an independent estimator, a public adjuster, or the policy's appraisal clause to resolve the dollar amount.
Signing a proof of loss around a number nobody has checked closes more than a form. It closes a door that's harder to reopen later.
