The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides professional damage claim appraisals for Indiana residents and businesses, delivering objective valuations that document loss before and after a covered event. Indiana's two-year statute of limitations for property damage claims under Indiana Code § 34-11-2-4 makes timely appraisal documentation essential. Casualty losses reported on IRS Form 4684 require a qualified appraisal establishing fair market value immediately before and after the loss.
Both remote and onsite appraisal options are available through appraisal services in Indiana, giving clients flexibility whether their damaged assets are in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, or anywhere else in the state. Our appraisers work directly with policyholders, attorneys, and insurance professionals to produce documentation that holds up in appraisal panels and legal proceedings.
AppraiseItNow covers all major asset classes commonly involved in Indiana damage claim situations, including:
AppraiseItNow serves Indiana homeowners, business owners, manufacturers, collectors, and fleet operators who need credible appraisal documentation following storm damage, fire, theft, flooding, or other loss events.

What Indiana clients say we are known for
Across 17 published Indiana appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how much research is visible in the report, and how quickly we answer.
I was very happy with the work put in on my totaled car appraisal. They did the appraisal quickly and VERY thoroughly. I felt like my insurance company gave a very low appraisal and Appraise It Now was very competitive, realistic and true to my expectations. The best part was they did a stellar job negotiating with my insurance company. I feel great about their work.
Auto Appraisal for Insurance Claim
These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
I was very pleased with the service from AppraiseItNow. They responded quickly, offered fair pricing and turnaround, and the appraisal was done by a highly qualified expert. I provided details, photos, and records, and the final report was exactly what I needed. Fantastic service. I’d definitely use them again.
Antique Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Claim
AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.
Mobile Home Appraisal
I recently requested a retroactive appraisal for fine art from AppraiseItNow. I received excellent service from intake to delivery. The appraisal was delivered on time and the content of the appraisal absolutely met my expectations!
Artwork Appraisal
Generally two years under Indiana Code 34-11-2-4, running from when the damage occurs or is discovered, which is shorter than many states allow. Some claims classified differently can carry a six-year period, and the clock is tolled for owners under a legal disability, but the safe assumption is a two-year window that leaves limited time to document values.
By the reduction in fair market value, generally capped at the lesser of the reasonable cost of repair or the diminution in value. Loss of use can also be recoverable in small claims. An appraisal establishing before-and-after values is the evidence that framework runs on, so we document both the pre-loss condition and the post-loss market effect.
The claimant. Indiana practice presumes no formula or schedule; the owner must affirmatively establish the loss in value with credible evidence, and a well-supported appraisal using recognized before-and-after methodology often becomes the anchor number in negotiations. Claimants can also escalate unfair claim handling to the Indiana Department of Insurance.
Yes, up to $8,000 statewide on Indiana's small claims docket, and up to $10,000 in Marion County township courts. Recoverable amounts there include repair costs, diminution in fair market value, and loss of use, so even modest claims benefit from a valuation that itemizes each component.
