Local service

Serving Roanoke, VA

Roanoke is a drive from our Lynchburg base, so we schedule inspections there and can often start from photos and the repair estimate while the visit is set up.

Three sides to every claim. I've worked all of them. Geoff Albach has spent 33 years in the industry as an independent appraiser, an insurance staff adjuster, and a collision repair operations director.

FAQ

Straight answers

Do you come to Roanoke?

Yes, by appointment. Call to schedule and we'll tell you the earliest date.

Can we start before the inspection?

Usually. Send the repair estimate or invoice and photos, and Geoff can review the claim first.

What's the deadline for a property damage claim in Virginia?

Virginia generally allows five years to file a property damage lawsuit (Va. Code § 8.01-243(B)). Act early anyway, while records are fresh.

General information, not legal advice. Talk to a Virginia attorney about your specific claim.
