The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsTexas property owners face some of the highest rates of severe weather damage in the country, from Gulf Coast hurricanes and coastal windstorm events to the relentless hail storms that batter the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metro areas. When disputes arise over insurance settlement amounts, a certified appraisal provides the objective, documented valuation needed to support your claim. AppraiseItNow delivers damage claim appraisals that are USPAP-compliant and defensible before insurers, umpires, and courts, establishing actual cash value or replacement cost for damaged assets.
AppraiseItNow serves clients throughout the state with both remote and onsite appraisal options, making it easy to get a qualified valuation regardless of your location. Our appraisal services in Texas cover everything from urban centers like Houston and San Antonio to communities along the coast and across the Panhandle.
AppraiseItNow covers the full range of assets commonly involved in Texas damage claim situations, including:
AppraiseItNow works with Texas homeowners, business owners, collectors, fleet operators, and marine asset holders who need a credentialed appraisal to support an insurance dispute, document a casualty loss, or satisfy the requirements of a policy appraisal clause. We also assist attorneys, public adjusters, and claims professionals who require independent, third-party valuations for their clients.
What Texas clients say we are known for
Across 18 published Texas 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.
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
Exceptional customer service and fast turnaround on my request for an insurance appraisal. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail strengthened my position in an ongoing insurance claim. Incredibly easy to work with—courteous, efficient, and clear in their communication throughout the process. Highly recommend them to anyone needing accurate, independent appraisals for insurance or personal purposes.
Personal Property 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

Boat Appraisal for Insurance Claim
Joe made the process to have my piece of furniture appraised extremely easy, efficient and quick. My experience was great and I'd recommend AppraiseItNow to anyone looking for an appraisal.
Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
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
By the difference in market value immediately before and immediately after the loss, assessed where the damage occurred. When market value cannot reasonably be determined, Texas courts allow replacement value, actual or intrinsic value, and in appropriate cases even sentimental value, while owners of repairable property may claim reasonable repair costs instead.
Two years from the date the damage occurred, under Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. Some secondary sources cite a four-year window, but Texas practitioners treat that as incorrect for standard personal property damage claims, so valuation and filing decisions need to move inside the two-year period.
Yes. Justice of the Peace courts hear property damage claims up to $20,000, a cap that includes attorney's fees but excludes interest and court costs. Larger claims belong in county or district court, so the appraised loss amount effectively selects the forum.
Insurers must acknowledge a written claim within 15 business days and accept or reject it within 15 business days after receiving the requested documentation, with a 45-day extension available only with written explanation. For personal auto and residential policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, Chapter 1813's appraisal clause then fixes the amount of loss with binding effect when the parties disagree.
